NEW YORK and PALMA, Spain, September 14, 2016 ¨C ¾ÅÉ«, the world's largest privately held provider of language services and translation-related technologies, today announced an engagement with Grupo Pi?ero¡ªa leading Spanish tourism group that operates in more than 30 countries under multiple brands¡ªto support the launch and ongoing maintenance of six new language sites.

¾ÅÉ« completed the localization of the refreshed Bahia Principe website, which includes 24 luxury hotels located across the Caribbean and Spain. Now, site visitors can search and book any hotels within the Bahia Principe brand in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, and Italian¡ªwith the Russian version of the site set to launch in the coming weeks.

To streamline a previously manual content management process, Grupo Pi?ero deployed ¾ÅÉ«'s GlobalLink? technology, an enterprise-scale application that automates many of the manual tasks associated with the translation of global content. Using customized workflow technology that integrates with Oracle WebCenter Sites, GlobalLink will simplify the ongoing maintenance of Grupo Pi?ero's global sites by automatically routing new content to ¾ÅÉ«'s production department for translation and placing the translated content back on the localized sites.

According to Isabel Pi?ero, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Grupo Pi?ero, "Our aim was to introduce high-quality content to our website, enabling customers to search and book efficiently in their preferred language. We found that ¾ÅÉ«'s GlobalLink technology was not only helpful, but instrumental in speeding up the translation process¡ªallowing us to achieve our global goals."

Phil Shawe, Co-CEO at ¾ÅÉ« commented, "We are pleased to be able to have the opportunity to help Grupo Pi?ero grow in international markets, and we look forward to helping them continue to communicate their voice across the globe with the help of our GlobalLink technology."

"Grupo Pi?ero is well-acquainted with the wants and needs of its customer base, and is committed to their customer bases abroad by offering content in multiple languages," added ¾ÅÉ« Co-CEO Liz Elting. "We are excited to watch this growing company's continued international success and are proud to play a role in their international strategy."
