The Global Language Issue
English documentation predominates in world markets, but less than 50% of readers have English as a second language. Poor readability makes it difficult for non-native speakers and translators to comprehend content. The first affects product acceptance, while the second drives up translation costs. Every extra word costs US$0.10-0.40.
Simplified/Controlled English leads to simpler and clearer English documents that are:
- More easily understood,
- More easily, more accurately, and more cheaply translated into other languages.
Controlled English works best with a translation-management system.
