In today's globalized environment, SAP implementations are increasingly covering multiple countries and multiple languages. SAP currently supports 36 languages in our delivery of standard solutions. The addition of SAP language service partners to the SAP PartnerEdge program for SAP services partners enables a partner solution for customer-specific translation requirements. The language services provided by SAP partners emphasizes SAP's commitment to improving delivery of customer value throughout the solution lifecycle and enhancing worldwide user experience for SAP end users.

SAP Language Consultancy and Translation Services Meet Each Customer's Needs

Anyone who has been in a situation where translation within an SAP solution itself was required has learned that translation in the SAP software environment requires specific skills and knowledge. In the language or integration services industry, knowledge of how to deploy this translation environment and related processes can be difficult to find.

From now on, SAP customers who, at any point during the lifecycle of an SAP solution, need translation services in the SAP environment can be assured of best-of-class language services by engaging with a language service partner certified by SAP.

SAP language service partners have passed a strict selection process, which focuses not only on currently available expertise, experience, and resources, but also on knowledge management strategies to ensure continuous high performance in future translation activities.

SAP language service partners provide one or both of the following two types of services. Each SAP language service partner offers the service type(s) for which they fulfill the specific entry criteria.

Language Consultancy Services

Strategic translation/language advisory services, providing tailored advice on translation strategy geared towards defining the most effective and profitable translation scenario for the customer situation.

These services will help customers who want strategic advice on how to set up their system for translation where a larger and continuous translation need is expected, or for smaller but highly complex projects. Additionally, SAP software solution partners who require language support for seamless integration of their solution within SAP's multilingual solution landscape can benefit from these services.

Translation Services

SAP language service partners also provide the actual delivery of translations within SAP software systems, including project and resource management to support translation delivery. These services cover the basic requirements for any translation activity in the SAP translation environment.
