Project Challenges & Solutions

Challenges

Fast delivery time: The turnaround time was quite short because it included 3 steps of translation and a DTP process afterward.
Limited resources: The content of the project (Urban practices) was quite specific, so the pool of suitable linguists with relevant experiences was relatively small at that time.

Solutions

Quicker process: DTP process was followed with LSO where linguists checked the final files carefully to make sure the deliverables are clean and good to go.
The dedicated team in charge: The project manager allocated the most experienced linguists for the content and an LQA process for all batches of the jobs. The editors were required to look into the LQA result carefully and apply global changes.

Translation Tools

Trados

Reduce the risk of omission/redundant translation as the linguists can see the source and target texts side by side.
Ensure consistency of the terms and translation.

Help format native source files and preserve the intended content and layout.
