translation • transcription • interpreting • conference & multimedia services

A large internationally-known provider of automotive parts required detailed translations of specifications and assembly line instructions for establishing production in new international venues.

ALS received the documentation in electronic form from the client and proceeded to establish a team of translators and editors which included specialists in automotive terminology. The translation was successfully produced on time and on budget. One of the greatest challenges of this particular project was the recreation of graphic art and diagrams with proper labeling in the target language. To do this, ALS had to reshoot graphics and then substitute the text, graphic by graphic, into the final work product. The documentation was successfully received and we were subsequently awarded additional work to translate quality assurance documents for this particular project.

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 client in the aerospace industry required translation of confidential technical specifications and marketing materials for a major international sale of both airplanes and spare parts.

This project required not only the translation of technical language and the meeting of strict deadlines but also extreme confidentiality and guaranteed security of the information. To accomplish this, all work was done on premises, at our international headquarters by a veteran team of professional linguists. The work product required multiple consultations between senior editors and the client which took place telephonically and in person. The final product was delivered on time and on budget and all materials, for reasons of maintaining strict confidentiality, was returned under lock and key to the client. The sale was completed and the parts were shipped.
