What is the translation supply chain?

The translation supply chain is the term used to describe the companies and individuals who assist global corporations to deliver content into different languages.  The supply chain starts within an end-user corporation - usually with a corporate translation, or language,  department.  The corporate language department is traditionally tasked with managing the process of translating content into different languages.  This might be done internally within the department by in-house translators, or it might be outsoruced to one of more agencies called "Language Service Providers" (LSP's).  In turn these language service providers will either perform the work using internal translators, or they will in turn outsource work to professional freelancer translators.
