Financial software localization for a leading banking software development company
Start » Downloads » Project Samples » Report
Project Brief:
Argos Translations was contacted by a banking software development company to help localize their flagship IT solution from French into English. The client needed software localization services in order to expand the program’s user-base and make the product more competitive in a foreign market.
To ensure that upon completion the financial software was fully functional in its target language, our client required translation work with review and Quality Assurance checks, along with software engineering that consisted of creating a specific l10n tool. Each of these objectives were carried out by our localization team along with two translators, one reviewer and one QA specialist, all of whom managed to complete the +68K word assignment in less than 45 working days.
In an effort to cut unnecessary costs and pass the savings back to the client Argos Translations used Translation Memory tools on this project. TM tools helped to reduce the final project price by 14%, leaving our client with a surplus budget available for other endeavors.
Upon completion, the client was not only satisfied with the project’s translation quality and Argos Translations services but also commissioned Argos Translations to further localize their financial application into German, Italian and Spanish.
