The School of Continuing and Professional Studies at New York University Selects Eriksen Translations for Spanish Translation of Online Courses
Eriksen Translations Inc. recently
completed the Spanish translation of the user interface and fourteen online
courses for New York University¹s School of Continuing and Professional
Studies Virtual College. The courses were designed to provide cutting-edge
content and delivery in the subject areas of corporate management and e-commerce.
³Eriksen Translations provided a detailed and viable proposal that impressed
us,² said Rob Manuel, Chief Information and Technology Officer of the NYU
SCPS Office of Information and Technology, and heading the initiative to deliver
these online courses to Spanish-speaking students in Spain and Latin America.
He added, ³Professional quality in terms of content and delivery is a goal
that NYU and Eriksen Translations share, and we are pleased to have partnered
with them for this exciting undertaking.²
²The creation and maintenance of impeccable terminology databases and
a ¹neutralŒ Spanish style guide, as well as efficient management of
human and machine resources, were key to bringing the project to its successful
completion,² said Debbie Folaron, Manager of Language and Technology, and
manager of the project. ²Our team of translators, editors, graphic artists,
terminologists and reviewers was truly outstanding.³
The launching of the courses in Spring 2002 will mark this successful first
step in extending the outreach of the NYU SCPS curriculum to an international
audience.
