Delivering a product to countries all over the world is a project that could be improved with the use of a professional interpreting service.

Denmark-based Dako may well have reaped the rewards of such assistance when negotiating a recent agreement with global distribution company Quintiles.

The alliance will develop medicines and diagnostic products with a view to improving the prescription of personalised medicine for people suffering from tissue-based cancer.

Senior vice-president of Quintiles Global Central Laboratories, Thomas Wollman, said: "By pairing our core competencies … we can help physician investigators select the right patients for the right clinical trials."

This practice will help speed the process of manufacturing treatments in biomarker discovery and translational medicine, he continued.

News of this agreement comes after Dako announced it would join forces with Royal Philips Electronics to produce digital pathology solutions that can be integrated into hospital departments with a view to making them more efficient.

A total of 39 atomic absorption spectrometers are to be delivered to the Polish Inspectorate of Environmental Protection as a result of discussions between the organisation and Germany-based Analytik Jena.

The technology is used to analyse waste, river and drinking water and to determine if any trace elements are present within the sample.

The agreement may have benefited from the use of a professional translation service, particularly where written contracts were concerned.

Delivery and installation is expected to be complete by April next year and will be carried out in three phases in 38 of the Polish laboratories.

"We have laid an important foundation for the start of the 2010-11 fiscal year and for our continued sales growth," said Klaus Berka, chairman of the executive board at Analytik Jena.

News of this contract follows the announcement that the German company will also deliver 20 TOC analysers to the same company in Poland, with a view to measuring organic carbon content in similar H2O samples.

Introducing website localization techniques to a search engine optimisation (SEO) strategy “has never been more important”, according to an expert.

Ray Comstock, writing for Search Engine Watch, made the claim and pointed out shipping rates, dealer locations, tax differences and warranty repair outlets will change depending on where the customer lives.

What’s more, algorithms within search engines such as Google and Bing are starting to be calibrated to look for this type of content and prioritise it where available.

“The key is to provide true value to these end users by surfacing very relevant information that is specific to them based on their city or state,” Mr Comstock continued.

Organisations looking to capitalise on this could do well to be listed on local directories such as Yellowpages, Yahoo Local or Google Places, the writer concluded.

The developers at Facebook may be looking into this type of strategy, as the social network’s use in Asia is not as high as it is in the rest of the world, according to Nathan MacDonald, managing partner at We Are Social.

A two-year agreement to manufacture and supply green products to an enterprise in China has been signed by California-based LDK Solar in a move that may have benefited from a professional interpreting service.

The contract is worth approximately $300 million (£188 million) and the Chinese BYD Company is expected to receive the items on a monthly basis from January 2011 until the end of 2012.

"This agreement is a testament to the success of LDK's polysilicon facilities and our ability to provide customers with quality PV products that can help them achieve their business goals," explained Xiaofeng Peng, chairman and chief executive officer of LDK Solar.

News of this venture follows the announcement that the US enterprise will also deliver PV products to H Power, which is based in the Czech Republic.

What's more, a module supply has also been arranged as part of the transaction and 84 mw of solar modules will be delivered throughout the course of next year.

Discussions have been taking place as supermarket giant Walmart has made moves to buy Massmart and a professional interpreting service is likely to have been an essential part of negotiations.

An initial bid of $4 billion has apparently been on the table, but the US brand could scale it back to a 50 per cent state, Reuters reports.

Walmart said in an email to the news provider: "We're exploring a variety of options relating to ownership structure, as Walmart has several different models of international ownership."

Indeed, the proposition to buy half of the South African chain could be intended as a way to keep it within the Johannesburg stock market, as opposed to it moving to the US exchange.

News of these talks comes after Walmart opened a new store in Port Angeles, Washington, which is expected to facilitate some 150 employment opportunities, improve the area's economy and support community projects.

People in countries around the world use the internet in different ways, which could prove problematic for organisations trying to reach a wider audience – although a website localization service may help smooth the transition.

This is according to Nathan MacDonald, managing partner of We Are Social, who pointed out that those in some regions of Asia have not begun using social networking to the same extent as other continents.

In particular, he believes Facebook – which web information company Alexa.com has ranked as the world's second-most popular site – may struggle to break into some markets, as people in China and south-east Asia are using pages native to their own country instead of those founded in the US.

"It's going to be very challenging for Facebook to achieve the initial [breakthrough] – it may have a long-term [strategy] for two to three years," he added, going on to say that an innovative plan would be valuable.
