New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 04/15/2011 -- Making a difference with language translations A resurgence in cross-border M&A deals Observers who closely monitor the mergers and acquisitions marketplace say that after an economically difficult couple of years, cross-border M&A deals are poised to make a comeback. That's because credit markets are gradually strengthening, and financing is becoming more readily available. In addition, corporations that have been conserving cash for the past couple of years are now hungry for and seeking out opportunity.

But if an attractive cross-border buy or sell opportunity presents itself to you, will you be able to take advantage of it both quickly and efficiently?

You will be if you understand how important it is for you and other participants in a deal to both literally and figuratively “speak the same language.” For most executives in the global business community, English is the shared language. However, many deal participants conduct research and communicate in their native tongue. So regardless of the direction of the deal, when deal participants from countries where English is not the primary language get involved, chances are that a language other than English will also be involved in the transaction.

The message to M&A participants is clear: To take advantage of local opportunities in a worldwide marketplace, you need to translate, present and exchange information in English and in the language or languages of any parties to the transaction.

In summary, the success of many cross-border deals is dependent on the ability to communicate information clearly and accurately in multiple languages.
