Emerald is a leading English language publisher of academic and professional literature in the fields of management, library services and engineering.

Emerald was established in 1967 and today offers a number of services to universities and libraries across the globe. Emerald’s 21st century offering includes its flagship product Emerald Management Xtra and Emerald ManagementFirst, its key product for the corporate sector. These are integrated databases which provide access to over 290 academic journals.

In 2006, Web-Translations initially translated marketing letters and promotional leaflets directed at key decision makers in libraries within universities worldwide, with a particular focus on Western Europe and South America. The business relationship has continued, with Web-Translations completing hundreds of projects for Emerald, including the translation of software user guides as well as presentations, posters, and emails for marketing campaigns targeting countries around the world. In this way Web-Translations helps Emerald Insight to successfully promote their online resources globally and develop strong relationships with its non English-speaking buyers worldwide.
