  • Abstract
    Effective multi-language service literature depends on accurate conversion of thought and meaning-not direct translation of individual words. Such conversion is best accomplished by those who speak the customer´s language as their native tongue and whose educational background encompasses the scope of the subject matter. In addition, the publication format, e.g., parallel or sequential arrangements of translated units of text, may be usefully varied according to the information content. The result is a more direct and understandable communication between the manufacturer and the user of his product.
