THE SOLUTION

Publitrad was brought on board to help and we set up a team of professional experts in technical translations that had extensive experience in translating from English to Czech. The localization involved several steps:

Assessment of the Source Material

We reviewed the technical specs to better understand the content and technical terms used. This helped in identifying any potential challenges.

Localization Management

We dedicated a project manager to oversee the localization workflow and to coordinate the process so that the technical translations and localized versions of the products were delivered on time and to the client’s specifications.

Translation & Editing

We translated the source materials to Czech language, making sure the technical terminology was accurate and localized to suit the Czech audience. Then we reviewed (specialized editor) to ensure consistency.

Quality Assurance

We subjected the technical translated materials to a rigorous quality assurance process to stay within clients guidelines and standards for clarity and authenticity.

Continuous Updates

The localization workflow was designed to allow for continuous updates and enhancements to the client’s high-tech products.
