translation • transcription • interpreting • conference & multimedia services

A Fortune 1000 company facing a major reorganization needed to translate highly confidential material to explain their plans to their worldwide staff.

ALS organized a massive effort of concurrent translation into fifteen languages including Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian. Both written documentation and multimedia presentations were required. Perhaps the most sensitive aspect of the project was a video presentation by the President and CEO of the corporation. This necessitated a voice over which was both accurate and authoritative. All of this work had to adhere to strict deadlines and security. The work was concluded on schedule as required.

A client who had for many years been training technical specialists in the repair and reconstruction of cars and trucks for a large aftermarket clientele, needed translation and multimedia services into Spanish.

ALS assisted the client in first isolating those English-language texts which were most suitable for adaptation into Spanish and then proceeded to translate both written and audio/visual training materials for intensive classroom and on-site instruction. The project was particularly challenging because of the need to meet rigid quality control standards on a wide variety of disparate topics ranging from electrical and computer systems to mechanics and basic engine repair. This multi-year project was completed and subsequent updates and revisions are still being used both in the US and abroad.

A major retail clothing chain wanted to produce voice-overs in Spanish and Japanese for an international stock offering.

We transcribed, translated, edited and adapted the English language videos for Spanish and Japanese audiences. ALS also advised the client on the choice of appropriate voice talent. The client heeded our advice and the campaign was well-received.
