Vietnamese Translation & Localization Challenges

Vietnamese DTP requires the use of software programs that are capable of correctly rendering letters that may have two superscripted, or one superscripted and one subscripted, diacritical marks.Although most documents are now encoded in Unicode format UTF-8, there are documents that still use non-Unicode, single byte encodings such as TCVN3, VNI, and VISCII. Because of the differences among the Northern, Central, and Southern dialects, the choice of vocabulary and grammar used for translations into Vietnamese must be based on both the nature of the subject matter and the target readership.With regard to voice-over recording, the significant differences in pronunciation among the three major dialects require that voice talents be chosen based on the target audience; for a national audience, native speakers of the Northern dialect would normally be preferred. Best practice processes

Successfully setting up Vietnamese translation projects not only means assigning linguistic resources with the appropriate subject matter expertise, it also involves implementing the best process. Depending on the type of content and its intended use, for example, internal memorandums, technical manuals, software GUI or marketing copy; processes may be customized to include terminology glossary development, creation of multilingual corporate style guides, and implementation of client review stages, to name just a few.

While Saigon Translation has documented processes for all generic project types, one size does not fit all. Our experienced project managers and account managers are ready to discuss with you the elements which are best suited to your projects.
