Multimedia / Flash Engineering / Web Services

Multimedia applications provide a tremendous opportunity to define how your target audience sees you and who you are as a company. A wide variety of multimedia output, including Flash movies, sound files, video clips, and complex graphics are available to produce a truly compelling message. In addition to all types of web applications, multimedia output is found in such diverse places as video games, interactive software, DVDs, kiosks, and CD-ROMs. Once you decide to invest in multimedia technology, localizing your multimedia content so that it can be understood by anyone, anywhere in the world, is a logical extension. Not only will it leverage your investment in the technology, it will increase your worldwide market share.

Unlike traditional localization, multimedia localization requires experts with additional skill-sets for audio or video text adaptation, script translation, and professional voice talent recording. A healthy dose of software engineering is also needed. Fortunately, Lingo Systems' in-house engineering team specializes in all types of multimedia localization. Among the most common types of projects are:

• Animations
• Websites
• Movies
• Games and cartoons
• Marketing pieces of all types
• Captivate interactive learning applications

• Graphics tools such as Photoshop, FreeHand, CorelDraw, Illustrator, AutoCAD, and Fireworks
