Hello from San Diego:
The website reported by Ned Devine appears to report language
requirements under regulations related to sanitary products,
medical products, and pharmaceutical products.
The website is by InterSol Associates. Their mission statement
is:
"To be an exceptional international communications consultant by
offering innovative solutions and services that make our customers
prosper."
They further say:
"We have experience in many areas of global communications, from the
translation of existing Web Pages to the design and maintenance of
entirely new multilingual Web Site. We offer an integrated online
and offline strategy, including translations of technical and
non-technical materials and multilingual electronic publishing."
They offer the following services:
* Internet/Intranet Services
* Design and globalization of web pages and web sites
* Translation, editing and quality control
* Most European, Asian and Middle Eastern languages
* International copywriting
* International product/brand naming
* Skilled translators working in their native languages
* Experienced web designers using state of the art tools
* Creative and experienced graphic artists
* Experience in translation automation tools and processes
* Knowledge of ISO 9000/9001 and other international requirements
* Assistance with the electronic transfer and distribution of translated
documents
I suggest the language requirements presented by the website be
used according to the respective regulations. Those regulations
appear to be unrelated to most members of this product safety
group.
