Objective
to improve the efficiency and quality of the translation review process by creating a system that integrated feedback from local markets into the translation workflow.
The aim was to ensure that translations reflected local preferences while reducing costs, saving time and improving consistency across global teams. -
Challenge
Local subsidiaries frequently adapted translations to better suit their markets, but these changes were not fed back into the translation memory.
As a result, the same corrections had to be made repeatedly in future projects, leading to inefficiencies, increased workloads and frustration among local teams. -
Implementation
Drawing on its long-standing collaboration with the client, Seprotec implemented a tailored solution that actively involved employees from global subsidiaries in the translation process.
An additional feedback loop was introduced to capture and process market-specific changes, which were then incorporated into the translation memory.
Seprotec also delivered training sessions to improve understanding of the translation workflow and the value of structured feedback. -
Result
The new workflow improved translation quality and increased employee satisfaction through more accurate and consistent translations.
It reduced the need for repeated edits at subsidiary level, saving time and resources, while improving the quality of translation memory data.
This created long-term efficiency gains and contributed to ongoing cost savings.
