In another series of articles, I will feature U.S. companies that have become successful by doing business with specific foreign countries, for which they have used specific language translation services. The first company to be discussed is Dromett Soft, which operates in the sphere of home entertainment software and is a developer of computer games. Hair-raising experiences and design that stands for unprecedented quality are only some of the characteristics the company has been known since 1989 when it was established. Some of their award winning games are: The Twilight of the Gods, Heroes and Villains, The War of the Gods and Star Odyssey. In 1995 the company started a partnership with the Toulouse based company Floran Divertissement in order to enter the European markets. In order to be successful in communicating with the French, the right translating service had to be selected and the obvious choice was the French Translator Service. In order to stay competitive, the company has to diversify its activity and one of the ways is to have some of its games made into films. Core Come Movs is going to turn this into reality. At Dromett Soft everyone knows his/her position – no matter whether graphic designer, hardware technician, cartoonist or game developer.

The second company featured in this article is in the sphere of sustainable practices and is called New Energy Horizons. The main goal of the company is to provide solutions that would prevent the devastation of earth’s available natural resources and exploit in a sensible way the renewable energy sources. The company operates in close cooperation with the German, Hamburg Energie Lösungen as they promote best practices in order to enhance the quality of life. However, building such a long-lasting partnership would not have been possible if New Energy Horizons had not contacted the German Translator Services and signed a long-term contract with them. New Energy Horizons have always striven to reduce people’s impact on the environment as their manufacturing activities use recycling programs, while their facilities apply re-lighting initiatives which reduce energy consumption and save costs. Looking for natural resources in other areas of Europe and continuing the cooperation with Germany will be the company’s top priorities as the senior management has decided to renew and expand the company’s operations.

Headquartered in Seattle, the third company featured in this article operates in the communications sphere. Its name is RiseTechCom and it provides telecommunication services throughout the world through next-generation networks that deliver dependable broadband connections to virtually any spot in the world. Today’s competitive world offers many obstacles to any business. This is why services like data, voice, wireless and video are crucial for surviving, and RiseTechCom has the capacity to offer all of them. In this respect RiseTechCom is presented with the unique opportunity to work in close cooperation with similar companies from Europe, Asia and the Americas as the global demand for innovative communication technologies increases. Thus for example, one of its principal partners on the Asian market is Nikoshi-Tel – a Japanese telecommunication company, which provides similar services to the Japanese consumers. In order to build a long-term cooperation with the Japanese, RiseTechCom has signed a contract with a Japanese Translator Service, which should bridge the gap between the two different cultures and open new horizons for entering new territories. With annual revenues of over one billion U.S. dollars and sales in more than 100 countries the company has been thriving since 1966 when it was established.
