ECB - Security Features Euro

Launch: November 2003 (through competition)

About:
The European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt’s main activity is to preserve the Euro’s economic stimulation and stabilise its value.

Implementation:
The goal was to create a Flash animation and a barrier-free HTML version about the Euro’s security features.

The particular technical challenges for this included that the application had to be created in 20 languages, including exotic languages such as Greek, Finnish and Maltese. PMM designed an effective method for the language versions to be directly changed by the translators, and the end result checked at the same time. All further changes since the online launch have also been made through this system.

Technique / components:
Specialised Content Management System (own development), UTF-8, XHTML, AAA-Compliance 
Interactive elements, multi-lingual (21 languages)
