Technical Translation Services: AGR International, Inc. Case Study

Echo International’s process methodology is backed by industry specific translation memory tools that lead to lower costs and timely project deployment. A translation memory is a repository of previously translated words and technical terms. Utilizing a translation memory leverages content for reuse for any enterprise-wide project requiring language translation.

Challenge

With a limited budget, translate only the content changes of a large product manual.

AGR International, a global supplier of quality assurance and process control systems for the beverage and packaging industry, updated components of the English version of a large product manual. The scope-of-work called for translation of only the changes into Italian on a very limited budget.

Approach

Analyze the content changes of the English version of the manual.

On previous manual content changes, the client would attempt to insert updated English sections into the Italian manual for translation work which turned out to be a very time consuming task. Echo suggested a complete and accurate analysis of the new version of the English manual utilizing translation memory software.

Solution

Comparison against a well-organized translation memory saves time and money.

By utilizing industry-specific software, Echo analyzed the updated English version of the manual and compared it against an existing, well-organized, Italian translation memory to identify sections that needed updated.
