Google’s Request

Google expects very high quality and fast turn-around times for each job they commission. Because new content is added almost continuously, the workflow needs to be adapted to the ongoing flow of translation requests. To reach the highest quality of on-brand translation, our linguists followed a special multi-day training on company specific style, vocabulary and workflow. The customer regularly executes Language Quality Evaluations, for which our linguists proudly hold an almost consistent 100% score.

Services We Provided

For Google our linguists translate texts that include legal content, marketing copy, financial documents, parts of the user interface and help texts for customers and developers. We also localize all content for the target audience.

Our Solution

In order to provide quick paced delivery every day, we have adapted an agile way of working in which we can respond fast to accept great volumes. Because the workflow is consistent, startup fees could be waived. To ensure the high quality translation we stand for, our translators invested in getting to know the tone of voice and style of the company first. While translating for Google, we make use of their state-of-the-art machine translation, which enables translators to work much faster and more consistently, resulting in significant cost reductions.
