Clearly, over the last few years, technology has evolved. And with that evolution, the methods of communication have progressed. Conveying your message has never been easier, but at the same time, it´s never been as complicated. No matter how you decide to communicate your message, Comprehensive has the fundamental skills and experience to convey that message in whatever language necessary.
For instance, when the US Air Force needed to administer a distance-learning course in several parts of the world, it decided that distributing the course in a multimedia format provided the most flexibility. After the original course was recorded, the video segments were broken down into short passages. These short passages were then transcribed and translated into Spanish and Japanese. The Japanese and Spanish translations were then narrated. The final result was a product that had the original English Instructor shown in the video while a Japanese or Spanish narration was playing at the appropriate point in the course, with the spoken text captioned in English and Japanese, or English and Spanish, at the bottom of the screen.
