GALA Extends Its Partnership with Inttranews

Rouen, France, April 10, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) has expanded its services and extended its news sourcing partnership by offering its members a free annual subscription to Inttranews, the leading news site for the language industry.

GALA is a fully representative, non-profit, international industry association that promotes language services and technology. The association gives members a common forum to discuss issues, create innovative solutions, promote the industry, and present a joint and more powerful voice within the industry and to the outside community.

The wide range of services provided to its 300 corporate members have now been further enhanced with daily updates from Inttranews, covering all the issues and events of interest or concern to linguists worldwide.

”We are pleased to offer yet another GALA membership benefit by providing free annual subscriptions to Inttranews,” said Laura Brandon, GALA Association Development Manager. “Inttranews has proven to be a valuable resource in the industry, and we encourage our members to take advantage of this opportunity.”

For Inttranews, the partnership with GALA underlines the strategic value of the wire service. Malcolm Duff, Chief Editor of Inttranews, comments, "The translation industry has to react faster than ever before as communication efforts become truly global, emerging markets bring "minority" languages to the fore, and technology develops exponentially in an increasingly wide range of fields affecting language. We provide the information for industry leaders to keep up with all of those changes and anticipate market moves."

Currently available in English, French and Spanish, Inttranews is read by some 50,000 linguists each month in international institutions, university departments, professional associations, translation services and companies, as well as by salaried and freelance interpreters and translators in more than 120 countries.

Subscribers can parameter their profile to receive only those articles directly related to their fields of interest, and have access to some 30,000 press reports on translation and in the Inttranews archives for research purposes. Subscribers can also issue up to 6 press releases a year, free of charge.
