European Business Hotel Leader Implements Technology to Drive Efficiencies in the Translation of Online Content
NEW YORK & MADRID, May 3, 2010 – Translations.com, the world’s largest privately held provider of language services and translation-related technologies, today announced an ongoing partnership with NH Hoteles, a Madrid-based hotel chain that ranks third among European business hotels, and fifth among European hotels overall, with 392 properties in 24 countries.

Translations.com has provided us with continuous excellent service and a high level of linguistic quality. The implementation of their GlobalLink software has permitted us to effectively and efficiently automate the workflow and eliminate the lengthy manual tasks surrounding our daily translation requirements."
Translations.com Co-CEO Phil Shawe, added, “By enhancing the globalized content of their website in several languages, NH Hoteles has improved the overall user experience for their customers choosing to book online.
