13 Language Real Estate listings to be available in Washington DC Area

Real estate agents in the Greater Washington, DC/ Baltimore Metropolitan area now have the option to display their property listing information via the Internet in 13 languages.
“We saw the need to make the option of language translation technology available to our 58,000 customers, given their widely diverse client base,” said Jeff Jennings, MRIS manager of Business Development and Product Management, announcing the contract with Immobel. “The MRIS market area is home to people from virtually every country. Translation technology greatly expands the MRIS service model,” said Janet Choynowski, Immobel CEO.
“We considered many technology options and vendors before selecting Immobel,” said Jeff Jennings. “They stood apart from their competition in many ways, in particular because their service model is not based upon on-the-fly machine translation, which we know can be problematic. Immobel’s service model is based on actually analyzing the MRIS content field-by-field and developing one-to-one translations which greatly improve the accuracy of the information presented. Additionally, we were impressed by their reputation for excellence.”
Listing searches results will be displayed to the real estate agents’ customers in their choice: Spanish, Brazilian-Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Polish, Russian, Chinese (both traditional and simplified), Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese. Additional languages are planned.
