WorldLingo, the professional online translation service, has licensed its commercial translation solutions to Fulham FC. Under the licensing agreement, Fulham FC has deployed WorldLingo's translation tools on the news section of its new Website, which is launched at midnight today. Fulham fans around the world will now be able to access the club's online news service in English French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Russian. Fulham fans can get the latest news on their team by visiting www.fulhamfc.com.
WorldLingo's commercial translation solutions appealed to Fulham FC because they were easy to deploy. In addition, the solutions combine the best of breed machine translation technology with a user friendly interface and the option of a quote for professional human translation.
"Over 200 million people now access the Internet in a language other than English. We see it as our mission to make it easy for organizations to communicate and do business with multilingual audiences. Fulham FC has fans all over the world and the club has realized quickly that it will improve the bond with international fans if it communicates with them in their own language. To have Fulham FC as a customer is a great endorsement of our solutions," said Phil Scanlan, Chairman WorldLingo.
Fulham FC's Internet manager Paul Thorpe said, "Fulham are a world famous club with a world wide following. We wanted to make it clear to our non English supporters that we appreciate their support and loyalty to the club. What better way to do this than to offer them as much information about the club and its players in the language they are most comfortable with - their own. WorldLingo has made it easy for us to make our news stories available in 10 different languages."
