Examples of projects
TRANSLATION DEALER MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE & MANUALS
With more than 1 million words translated this is one of the bigger projects in our portfolio. Our international customer who develops Dealer Management Systems for the automotive business has called on our knowledge and experience in the automotive sector to translate their software from English into Dutch. This software package is used by hundreds of car dealers in Belgium and the Netherlands, including Mercedes, BMW, Opel, Peugeot and Fiat. The project posed the following challenges:
- Huge volume (>1 million words = 2,666 full pages)
- Tight deadline.
- Collaboration between multiple translators + terminology that had to be fully streamlined.
- The in-house development of scripts to turn the client’s files into a workable format for the translators.
- Importing and testing the translations in the client’s software.
