from Victoria firm pioneers |

A local Victoria translation and localization company is redefining web communication on the internet. Incorporated in 1998, Yu Jian Yo now offers multilingual solutions for e-commerce websites, online data-providers, and corporate intranets. Yu Jian Yo has developed a customized e-commerce software system which
can be adapted to any website and language. At www.123Buildit.com,
visitors can try out their fully-functional demonstration site (an
imaginary online clothing store) in several languages. President Cheryl Reitz explains, "Customers prefer to do business in their own language. Most businesses on the web could benefit substantially from a
multilingual web presence. Our user-friendly system provides an interface that enables our commercial clients to conduct business in languages they do not themselves speak - it
even makes shipping labels in languages most
Canadians cannot type."
Yu Jian Yo (www.e-multiweb.com) specializes in Asian languages, yet also offers European and Middle-Eastern languages. Reitz elaborates, "Using our system, it is easy to add a new language to a website or shopping cart, and to edit/update existing text, since the changes occur at the database level. Often we can also leverage a client's pre-existing translations. We enable indexing by non-English search engines, and provide smart solutions to international customer correspondence." Reitz, a former English instructor who taught several years at a technical university in Taiwan, has worked with computers since the late-sixties. "When I moved back to Victoria, I wanted to start something different and realized that languages would play a very important role on the web." Yu Jian Yo's business has penetrated the U.S. market, primarily dealing with companies wanting to translate websites, online HELP, software documentation, and user interfaces. Reitz says, "We now want to offer the benefits of our experience to local and smaller businesses who wish to prosper from the multilingual internet." |
