- THIS SITE IS OUT OF DATE - FOR REFERENCE ONLY Bridge Building Across Cultures There are various ways of bridging gaps in cross-cultural encounters. Naturally translation and interpretation is a way of bridging language gaps. And applying the give a man a fish feed for a day, teach him how to fish and feed him for a life-time approach, then language learning is obviously a step in the right direction. By the same toke intercultural training offers a great way for people to learn culture bridging skills. There are also times when relationships sour where a 'go-between' is needed, and rather than going to the extreme and recurring to the law, a more constructive approach would be Conflict Resolution and Mediation.
Conflict Resolution and Mediation What is
Mediation? Mediation is facilitated negotiation through a third party. It is a quick, inexpensive and private way of settling commercial conflicts from small amounts to ones worth millions of pounds. The mediator
acts as a neutral chairman, clarifying arguments, focusing the participants
on the REAL issues, and guiding those in dispute to a mutually acceptable
solution.

With differences in fonts and operating systems, for instance, this can be quite a daunting task. Our associates' localisation services help you produce high-quality multilingual websites and localised software in a cost-effective way and on a limited time scale. The service covers a large variety of languages and provides language technology solutions to a wide variety of potential application areas. Localisation
of web-sites, for instance, involves both translation, local copy-writing
and a range of technical and cultural issues:
