viaLanguage Expansion Benefits Downtown Portland, San Francisco

Translation & Localization Company’s Growth Forces Move Into Larger Offices in Portland and Opening of New Bay Area Offices.

Portland, Ore. – March 30, 2007 – viaLanguage, a leading provider of language translation & localization services, has relocated their main headquarters into the Historic US Bank Block in downtown Portland and has opened new offices in San Francisco. Amid strong sales growth and increased demand for language translation & localization services, the Portland-based company now has more room for a recently-expanded Portland staff, as well as a staffed office in San Francisco to more easily service the Northern California market.

The company has recently moved its headquarters into a more spacious location in the core of downtown Portland. “Our business has grown considerably in the past 12 months. We needed enough space to fit our existing staff, as well as some room to grow, and the new downtown space really gives us both,” according to CEO, Chanin Ballance. “When it comes to our clients’ Web sites and their software, the localization business is providing a great deal of growth as companies are expecting more from their online presence. Whether it’s related to international expansion, or targeting ethnic markets in the US, we’re benefiting from a growing understanding of the need for professional localization services.”

The company has also staffed new offices in San Francisco’s Financial District. “We’ve made a commitment to the Northern California market,” said Ballance. “The Bay Area and Northern California represents a large market for viaLanguage, and we’ve gained some traction there. Having local offices allows us to more effectively service our existing customers and to continue to grow our Northern California customer base. To accomplish that, having a physical San Francisco presence is essential.”
