Case Study: Boosting Quality and Speed with Industry-Specific Localization and Custom Translation
This case study demonstrates how Seprotec expedited the translation process for a multinational veterinary pharmaceutical company.
Multiple certification revisions caused delays, so Seprotec implemented a new procedure, with standardized templates and qualified translators versed in EU legislation.
This method reduced the number of revisions to just one, which improved quality, shortened time to market, and saved money.
-
Objective
To improve translation quality and reduce time-to-market by streamlining the validation process for multilingual product documentation.
The client needed to minimize revision cycles while ensuring compliance with European Union directives and country-specific regulations governing health-related materials. -
Challenge
The client relied on in-country validators to review translated content for final approval.
Multiple rounds of revisions created delays, required excessive project management effort and placed an unnecessary burden on validators.
The organization needed consistently high-quality first-review drafts to reduce validation time without compromising regulatory compliance or content accuracy. -
Implementation
Seprotec designed a customized localization workflow focused on quality control and efficiency.
A specialist team of translators with expertise in veterinary and pharmaceutical content was assembled, supported by EMA-based templates for terminology, structure and title translation.
Linguists were tested using sample documentation, and an ongoing feedback process was implemented to optimize translator performance, translation memories and overall workflow efficiency. -
Result
The new process significantly improved documentation quality and reduced the validation workload.
The client was able to reduce the number of revisions to just one in the validation phase for each of its 19 in-country validators, resulting in faster approvals, reduced project management overhead and a shorter time-to-market. The enhanced workflow delivered greater efficiency and higher quality without increasing costs or project timelines.
