PROJECT DESCRIPTION

​

One of our many automotive industry clients is a top producer of ground support equipment who contacted us for a large volume translation project – around 30,000 words – including manuals and marketing materials. 

We assembled  a team of automotive translations experts to manage the translation, review and quality assurance process. We recruited translators and editors with specific technical expertise and the necessary creative abilities to deliver a professionally localized target file, suitable for the client’s target countries.

Constant communication was essential for this project, as the client requested samples to be submitted periodically for 3rd party reviews. Constant updates were made in order to ensure the target file is consistent with the client’s expectations.

The client made sure to send us the files compatible with Trados and our translation memory tools, which allowed us to speed up the translation process.  

The project delivery was a success and the client appreciated our thoroughness and transparent communication style.
