Did you know that a combine harvester has over 9000 parts? These highly technical and technological machines are like moving factories. You can step inside one of these harvesters and feel like you are in a space shuttle!
Harvest time for each crop is different and limited. The importance of these machines come into play during these seasons – working 24/7 to make the best of the harvest.
So does the importance of their translation come into play when they need to display the same precision and critical details in any language.
The challenge
PMC Harvesters required a translation into Italian for two documents they have. One of the documents was a legal homologation and also contained manual-like instructions. The other document was a longer manual, and also contained user interface related text which was technical and in a highly specific subject area. So in relation with the nature of these documents, one translation project contained three different subject matters. They needed to be precise, correct and aimed for the targeted Italian audience.
The solution
TTC wetranslate operations manager collected all necessary data about this project and distinguished it from the usual jobs. She made sure that the TTC wetranslate project manager and the approved translators of the account were provided with a brief before the translation stage started.
During the translation agricultural, legal and technical aspects of the text have been kept in mind, and the linguist ran the necessary quality assurance steps using computer-assisted translation tools.
Once the translation was complete, with the effectiveness of technology, TTC project manager ensured the translated text met the expected quality standards before delivering it to the client. As the next step, the documents were cross-checked visually to ensure the formatting matched the original source.
The final version of the translated documents were delivered to the client in the requested file format and within the agreed timeframe.
