The MadCap Software Scholar Program Welcomes
Belgium’s Largest University Partners with MadCap Software to Provide Students with Tools and Expertise for Delivering Modern Localized Documentation
La Jolla, CA and Leuven, Belgium – June 28, 2016 – The University of Leuven (KU Leuven) is partnering with MadCap Software to provide students pursuing a certificate in the Postgraduate Program in Specialized Translation with the tools and skills to thrive in a competitive workforce.
MadCap Flare is the most advanced technical authoring and multi-channel publishing software for delivering content across print, Web, desktop and mobile channels. MadCap Lingo computer-assisted translation (CAT) software offers a translation workflow management solution that improves translation efficiency and streamlines the authoring and localization workflow. Utilizing these two fully integrated products, KU Leuven students will now have the opportunity to strengthen their authoring, translation, and localization knowledge to support the growing demand for technical communication professionals and deliver documentation in users’ language of choice.
Promoting Localization Best Practices
KU Leuven is Belgium’s largest university and one of the oldest and most renowned universities in Europe. The school’s professors are integrating MadCap Flare and MadCap Lingo into their Introduction to Software Localization course, which is part of the Postgraduate Program in Specialized Translation. Taught by both KU Leuven professors and guest teachers in the translation and localization industry, the course will enable students to gain first-hand experience in using translation technology to address the localization and specialized translation issues faced with software documentation today.
We chose to use MadCap Flare and MadCap Lingo because, to our knowledge, it is the only environment that integrates authoring, translation, and document management,” said Iulianna van der Lek-Ciudin, research associate, KU Leuven. “By introducing these integrated software products into our program, we hope to raise awareness of technical communication as a profession among students and graduates, as well as give them the skills to support global companies’ demands for delivering software documentation in multiple languages.
