Free language resources for all!

29 August 2007

Prestige Network is now offering free language resources to help companies get their message across.

PR and Marketing Executive Kate Wiley says that in the face of today's increasingly multicultural society it is essential for companies to ensure they are catering to a wide range of communication needs including non-English speaking clients, the blind and the deaf.

"By offering free resources on our web site we are actively helping and encouraging businesses all over the UK to open the lines of communication to everyone," Ms Wiley said.

"On our web site businesses can find a range of free and useful tools to help them improve communication with the non-English speaking community, including multilingual appointment cards, language ID quick reference cards and a free web link button," she said.

"We are encouraging companies throughout the UK who provide services and information in multiple languages to place our free web link in a prominent place on their web site to demonstrate their commitment to communication with everyone, no matter what language they speak.

"Our multilingual appointment card and language ID card are also very useful tools that are perfect for use as a languages quick reference guide for frontline staff who may from time to time have trouble understanding customers or making themselves understood."

Prestige Network is the UK's leading language and communications specialist. The Thatcham-based company work in both the public and private sectors across the UK and offers a wide range of services in all languages including translations, interpretation, multilingual web sites and copywriting.
