Client Case Study: Successful Translation Migration to Paligo

The Challenge

Migrating translations to Paligo is not without its challenges. A prominent global developer of label design software and label management systems had been utilizing a technical authoring tool for several years, producing publications in various languages. In response to evolving needs, they made the strategic decision to transition to the structured technical authoring tool, Paligo.

The migration of their user guides from the old system to Paligo went smoothly without major hiccups. However, when it came to migrating translations to Paligo, they encountered a significant roadblock that necessitated professional assistance.

The stakes were high, as failing to migrate existing translations would have led to a substantial overrun of the project budget. With time being of the essence, there was uncertainty about finding an agency capable of not only delivering high-quality translations but also possessing the technical and engineering expertise required for seamless migration. They sought an agency they could trust and rely on implicitly.

The Solution

Once we established communication with the client and gained insight into their requirements and objectives, we devised a clear roadmap for leveraging their existing translation memories within Paligo.

We meticulously tested various tools to identify the most suitable one, as different tools may segment sentences differently. Our goal was to maximize the number of matches, thereby saving valuable time and minimizing costs.

The cumulative word count of their three manuals totalled over 190,000 source words. With the application of the translation memory, this figure was significantly reduced to just under 9000 words requiring translation. The TTC wetranslate team successfully completed the project within the client’s specified timeline and budget.

In summary, our partnership enabled a seamless transition to Paligo, ensuring the client’s content was not only accurately translated but also efficiently migrated, resulting in cost and time savings. We are proud to have met and exceeded their expectations, showcasing our expertise in both language translation and technical know-how.
