Saving time and increasing quality. Translations of professional technical texts and marketing content from a single supplier.

A global manufacturer of air conditioners and heat pumps gets better quality translations while reducing the time needed to manage them internally.

Overview

At first glance, translating product documentation is not rocket science. However, upon closer inspection, we usually find a mix of diverse content, a mix of technical texts and creative marketing, document and file formats. A seemingly simple project requires more than just the translation of a technical manual, especially if your goal is translation into multiple languages, strict delivery deadlines and, of course, quality translation.

Our client is a global manufacturer of heat pumps and air conditioners with more than 50 years of experience and sales in more than 120 countries. The company is one of the world’s leading manufacturers in the heating and cooling industry.
