How do you ensure consistency across multilingual service manuals, parts catalogues, and diagnostic software when updates happen frequently across model years?

We use translation memory software, which stores previously translated content and reuses it automatically wherever the same or similar text appears. This keeps terminology and phrasing consistent across every document and every model year update, while also reducing turnaround time and cost on revised content.

How do you manage urgent requests, such as translating recall documentation?

Our project managers and automotive translators are adept at handling urgent requests by re-prioritising their work, and as our translators are experienced in this field, they are prepared for requests like this.

Can you translate text within our CMS?

Yes. We ask that clients export their data from their CMS into an editable format, such as CSV. Our translation memory software is then able to pull out the text for translation into an easy to view editor for the translators to work on. We return the translated files in their native format for a seamless integration back into your CMS.
