Argos regularly completes translation projects for electric machinery manufacturers around the world. Recently Argos Translations was commissioned to carry out electric-turbine document translations from Polish into English for one such manufacturer. Because of the technical nature of the assignment, Argos also completed transcription and DTP work on top of the text translation.
The first batch of the project consisted of translation of over 60,000 words on 240+ pages (including DTP work on complex technical drawings). Argos assigned teams of DTP specialists, localization engineers, translators and Project Managers to complete the assignment in less than 2 months, thereby meeting our client’s deadline.
The project’s technical and complex nature required Argos to transcribe the source text from scans. The transcription was done so that Trados could be used as an aid in the translation process, thus improving translation consistency over the target language. Simultaneously, all of the complex technical drawings required skilled handling in InDesign that was completed by Argos’ in-house DTP department.
In the end, Argos successfully adapted all the content from Polish into English enabling our client to use and distribute the materials over their target market - India.
