Approach
- Use of technical glossary from the start – provided by client
- Working in milestones i.e. we had localized content checked by the client every time we finished a specific piece of the story in order to preserve stylistic consistency throughout
- Final global check by our team (translator, proofreader) and client (examiner)
Results
- Close to 100,000 words localized using specific US terms for optimal stylistic fit
- Project conducted over a 3-month period
