Meet Lionbridge Travel (and win an iPad?) at PhoCusWright Next Week
Seems like we all just got back from EyeforTravel, and now we’re heading out to Ft. Lauderdale next week for the PhoCusWright Conference!
Ah, the life of a Travel and Hospitality professional, am I right?
I’ll have more to say after the show, but for now, I want to make sure you’re all aware that we’ll be giving away an iPad to one lucky visitor at the Lionbridge booth next week. So please be sure to stop by and chat with us for a few minutes.
Besides just entering our drawing, this also means you can talk to me and one of my favorite colleagues, Roberto Sastre from our European office, about translation and localization in the Travel and Hospitality industry.
We’d love to hear and help with whatever’s on your mind, even stuff like:
- How you might be able to lower the costs or increase the quality (or both!) when translating your website.
- What you’re doing about translating user-generated content.
- What ideas we have for making the translation of your mobile site and apps go a little faster, a little smoother.
- And don’t even get us started on translation for social media, especially in the travel and hospitality space. That is, unless you really want a long conversation on your hands.
So just a reminder: Visit the Lionbridge booth at PhoCusWright next week, so you can enter to win a free iPad! (And talk to us about interesting things.)
Translation of Mobile Websites and Apps in the Travel Industry
As I walked around EyeForTravel’s “Travel Distribution Summit” in Las Vegas last week, talking with people and attending presentations, it was pretty easy to pick up on the three primary digital trends in the travel industry: Mobile, Social and Video. If you were there, I bet you picked up on the same ones.
You probably won’t be surprised to know that the Twittersphere reflected these conversations, 140 characters at a time. Just for fun, a colleague of mine compiled some of the most thoughtful and specific of those in her Storified collection, which I mentioned earlier this week.
There’s a lot there for follow-up discussions, but for today I thought I’d focus on Mobile. Continue reading »
Who Said What about Last Week’s Travel Distribution Summit
Take a look at this Twitter slideshow my colleague put together (using Storify.com) about EyeForTravel’s Travel Distribution Summit last week. I think she pretty much captured the highlights. (Click the forward/back arrows at the bottom to manually advance, or the Play button in the lower left corner to autoplay the whole thing.)
Were you there, and/or watching the Twitter stream? What else would you have added?
More to come soon on specific topics from the show last week, including trends in the travel industry about mobile, video and social.
