“Thebigword is expanding rapidly in China and I’m thrilled that we’ll be working with Huawei to help them to deliver their new wearables range in dozens of languages. We’ve a strong history of working together. We know that consumers are much more likely to engage with companies who talk to them in their own language and I’m confident that our expertise will help Huawei to do just that with this new range.

“One of the reasons for our continued success with other global tech companies and now in China as well is the investment we’ve made in our in-house software portfolio, allowing seamless integration between our systems and those of our partner businesses. It means that translation can happen faster than ever before and crucially, products can be delivered to market on a global scale faster than ever before, a key advantage for any company but most especially those in such a competitive industry.”
