Clarion recently launched its European presence on Facebook by adding and updating content in French. Moravia now translates content from Clarion into English, Spanish, Italian and German for each language's Facebook page within 24 hours.

A worldwide leader in advanced globalization solutions, Moravia provides Clarion with a one-stop localization solution that combines speed with translation accuracy, according to Renato Beninatto , Chief Marketing Officer for Moravia.

"Content needs to go where the customers are. As Facebook has become the main social media platform around the world, brands need to connect with consumers in their own language and in the venues of their choice. Clarion understands that," Beninatto said.

"Facebook communications are far too important for companies to risk making translation errors and cultural missteps," added Sebastien Brame , director of Europe Marcomms for Clarion. "We can be confident Moravia will provide the accuracy and cultural support we need to help us build an even stronger presence for Clarion in Europe."
