A company that specializes in providing online education for the automotive industry asked us to help with the localization of their training materials.
Their courses cover a wide range of topics including light and heavy vehicles, electric vehicles, engineering technology, mechatronics, smart technology, industrial maintenance, and more. They had demanding content requiring the highest quality localization with complete mechanical, electrical, and technical terminology.
The courses dealt with new and emerging technologies, which made it challenging to translate complicated terms.
To manage this project, the company required a team of technically educated and experienced linguists and a project manager. The team consisted of a project manager with experience in managing multilingual projects in the field, a language engineer with a background and training in the field, an editor, and translators, all with training and significant experience in the automotive industry.
As it was an online tool, desktop publishing work was not part of the project. Thanks to the implementation of our standardized innovative process, the client received excellent translations, and internal AI tools were used to save time and costs.
