Internal business documentation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>You know all those hundreds of documents that are the backbone of your business? Think HR manuals, operation guidelines, or corporate style guides. Well, before you can even begin to introduce your product or service into a new country, you\u2019ll need to translate all of them into the local language.<\/p>\n\n<p>When you have a large multinational and multilingual workforce, translating internal procedures, policies, and guidelines ensures that everyone is on the same page and abides by the same standards. Compliance is also another big factor here\u2014letting the language barrier affect the ability of your employees to do their jobs can instantly escalate into a compliance or legal stalemate.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-challenge-quantity-and-fragmentation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-challenge-quantity-and-fragmentation\"><\/span>The challenge: quantity and fragmentation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Internal business documentation tends to amount to a large volume of text that needs to be handled simultaneously. If you add how dispersed they are across multiple stakeholders worldwide, this quickly becomes a sprawling project with lots of moving parts.<\/p>\n\n<p>When there are several team members involved, communication often slows down as it becomes harder to keep track of who\u2019s working on what and how the different tasks should be broken up. Version control can also become an issue.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-solution-centralization-and-coordination\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-solution-centralization-and-coordination\"><\/span>The solution: centralization and coordination<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Overcoming the challenge of translating internal business documentation is a two-fold task.<\/p>\n\n<p>First, you need to centralize all internal business documentation into a single multilingual hub or knowledge base accessible by every department. The hub should work as a version-controlled repository and, naturally, as a single point of truth to every employee that needs a particular piece of content in any language.<\/p>\n\n<p>Examples of documentation services that could help organize your company\u2019s internal content include Salesforce Knowledge, Help Scout, <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase.com\/integrations\/zendesk\/\">Zendesk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Second, you need to adopt a centralized business translation workflow that allows for the management and organizing of all the dispersed content, leaving behind the non-synchronized and non-centralized translation efforts across departments, teams, and employees worldwide.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-legal-and-technical-documentation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-legal-and-technical-documentation\"><\/span>2. Legal and technical documentation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>One of the most complex types of business translation are texts of legal and technical nature in different languages. The complexity levels can go through the roof when dealing simultaneously with documents like proceedings, registrations, filings, patents, or user manuals. These types of text use very specific terminology and often require considerable expertise.<\/p>\n\n<p>What further complicates the picture is that you can hardly avoid dealing with legal and technical documentation. When you expand into another country, each document focused on legal or technical issues must be translated in its entirety. It also needs to be reviewed by a professional in the corresponding domain to retain accuracy and avoid potential disputes or even fines.<\/p>\n\n<p>Within legal translation, we can differentiate between:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Legal documentation\u2014warrants, registrations, certification, statements, affidavits, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Judicial documentation\u2014proceedings, trials, judgments, expert opinions, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Juridical documentation\u2014decrees, regulations, partnership agreements, contracts, insurance policies, bail insurances, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Technical documentation translation, on the other hand, groups together a broad range of scientific and technical texts that range from user manuals, service guides, and installation instructions to software strings and datasheets.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-challenge-accuracy-and-quality\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-challenge-accuracy-and-quality\"><\/span>The challenge: accuracy and quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>The quality requirements that companies need to meet with legal and technical business translation are very high. Not respecting them can result in fines, lawsuits, public embarrassment, or even the inability of your company to continue operating in a certain country (for example, if a patent is rejected because of poor translation).<\/p>\n\n<p>In other words, with this type of translation, quality becomes paramount not only from a linguistic perspective but from a compliance and corporate responsibility point of view as well.<\/p>\n\n<p>Every specialty in legal and technical translation has its own prerequisites and terminology. In the case of patents, for example, a very specific and highly regulated language must be followed that is quite impossible to master without being a subject expert in the respective field.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-solution-terminology-management-and-subject-matter-expertise\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-solution-terminology-management-and-subject-matter-expertise\"><\/span>The solution: terminology management and subject-matter expertise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Terminology validation in legal and technical translation is paramount and should be a concerted effort between specialized translators, legal experts, and local-market consultants.<\/p>\n\n<p>Ideally, before the start of any translation project, a glossary of terms should be created that includes legal and technical terminology, domain-specific expressions, acronyms, abbreviations, etc.<\/p>\n\n<p>Terminology management, combined with subject-matter expertise, can go a long way in reducing potentially costly mistakes or oversights in your legal and technical translation projects. It may take some time before you can get everyone on board to sign off your organization\u2019s glossary, but once it\u2019s ready, translators will have a source of truth regarding your industry\u2019s jargon and the most recurring specific terms.<\/p>\n\n<p>This way, you can speed up turnarounds and minimize errors and inconsistencies across your markets. Getting all your product and service terminology validated will also bring value to your global marketing messaging, resulting in a more cohesive end product.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-marketing-content-and-digital-assets\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-marketing-content-and-digital-assets\"><\/span>3. Marketing content and digital assets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>In addition to internal, legal, and technical documents, business translation also involves dealing with marketing content and digital assets designed to attract, engage, and retain an external audience:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Press releases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product sheets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/phrase.com\/blog\/posts\/how-translate-web-page\/\">Landing pages<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email templates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paid advertisements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social media content, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Since it aims to connect with people on an emotional level, promotional collateral can hardly bear literal translation. Marketing linguists need to capture the spirit of the message you\u2019re trying to convey and adapt it to the target market\u2019s expectations so it can elicit the same reaction in the new cultural context\u2014a process known as <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase.com\/blog\/posts\/optimize-marketing-localization-process\/\">marketing localization<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>One of the most effective translation techniques that can be used for marketing localization is <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase.com\/blog\/posts\/transcreation-marketing-across-cultures\/\">transcreation<\/a>\u2014defined as the creative translation of international advertising content that ensures the tastes, wants, and attitudes of a target audience are respected and matched to equivalent cultural references.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-challenge-global-brand-consistency\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-challenge-global-brand-consistency\"><\/span>The challenge: global brand consistency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Marketing campaigns should reflect your company\u2019s core message as closely as possible. However, it can be difficult not to stray away from your brand identity, especially if you try too hard to adapt to the tastes of every single market.<br \/>In other words, if you want to maintain a strong global brand identity that differentiates your company from the competition\u2014but still localize for every market\u2014you need to find a middle ground with both cohesion and individuality in all of your messaging and assets.<\/p>\n\n<p>This includes not just copy but also imagery and illustrations. For example, every culture is different in the way it perceives certain symbols or colors: While most people around the world associate red with love, passion, or even danger, in some cultures of the Far East, red is the color of good fortune and prosperity. So how do you keep your brand identity intact while still being sensitive to cross-cultural differences?<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-solution-collaborative-teamwork-and-localization-management\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-solution-collaborative-teamwork-and-localization-management\"><\/span>The solution: collaborative teamwork and localization management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>The secret is approaching the process as a joint effort between marketing and translation teams. For example, marketers can ensure that the source content isn\u2019t freighted with metaphors that\u2019d be difficult to translate. For the purpose of <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase.com\/blog\/posts\/international-seo\/\">international SEO<\/a>, they can also make sure that the content reflects search engine queries in the target language. Put another way, they can <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase.com\/blog\/posts\/writing-10-best-practice-tips-on-how-to-write-global-ready-content-for-localization\/\">prepare content that\u2019s easy to localize<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Translators, on the other hand\u2014if experts in marketing localization, based in-market, and native speakers of the target language\u2014can help marketers convey their concepts through more straightforward wording that is also culturally adapted.<br \/>What\u2019s important for both sides is to be conscious of the other\u2019s needs and limitations, so they can work hand in hand on achieving a result that represents the organization\u2019s brand identity while still being sensitive to cultural differences.<\/p>\n\n<p>The way this collaboration is managed varies from one organization to the next. A best practice would be to assign a dedicated localization manager who keeps a helicopter view of the process. They can also ensure that all content being translated is in line with your overarching <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase.com\/blog\/posts\/how-important-is-localization-for-your-business\/\">localization strategy<\/a> and brand identity.<\/p>\n\n<p>Additional resources such as brand and communication guidelines, content briefs, and previously approved translations should be made available to both marketing and translation teams to further help improve consistency in marketing localization.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-streamline-business-translation-with-a-translation-management-system\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-streamline-business-translation-with-a-translation-management-system\"><\/span>How to streamline business translation with a translation management system<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Every challenge has a solution, and every solution requires the right tool to get the job done.

This way, faster turnaround times and higher output become possible, while equally increasing the likelihood of maintaining consistency throughout all projects.<\/p>\n\n<p>The benefits of a TMS don\u2019t stop there: <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase.com\/generative-ai-localization\/\">AI-powered<\/a> machine translation (MT) technology is another helpful tool available within the most complete TMS solutions. By leveraging artificial intelligence, machine translation creates an automatic translation output that can act as a starting point and then be edited to human perfection by language experts.<\/p>\n\n<p>The key advantage of using MT technology is its speed. Translating large batches of content need not be a slow and labor-intensive process anymore. Equally important, since MT technology learns from every translation the more it gets used, the better the results become.<\/p>\n\n<p>Having said that, the right technology for your global business and multilingual projects is a mix of TM and MT capabilities that can adapt to your workflow and deliver the best possible results for your organization.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-ensure-accuracy-and-consistency-with-term-bases\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-ensure-accuracy-and-consistency-with-term-bases\"><\/span>How to ensure accuracy and consistency with term bases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Ensuring translation accuracy and consistency is a tall order to fill when content gets updated frequently and the volume of projects and language combinations increases.<\/p>\n\n<p>That\u2019s exactly how a TMS can help. Best-in-class TMS solutions let you take control of every project\u2019s terminology management through term bases that act as central repositories or pre-approved terminology across your organization.<br \/>Term bases are glossaries of industry-specific words and phrases with their translation into another language. They can also include context for correct usage, term relationships, and definitions to help maintain the accuracy of all your projects.<\/p>\n\n<p>Every time content gets updated or new projects get launched, translators pull up the latest term bases so that every bit of content remains consistent across your business.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-integrate-seamlessly-with-other-tools-in-your-digital-ecosystem\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-integrate-seamlessly-with-other-tools-in-your-digital-ecosystem\"><\/span>How to integrate seamlessly with other tools in your digital ecosystem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>A modern TMS should offer out-of-the-box integrations through an API with dozens of other systems, from large players to small vendors, to help you cover your business translation needs and <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase.com\/solutions\/workflow-automation\/\">automate your workflows end to end<\/a>.<br \/>These include, among many others:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Content management systems like Contentful, Hubspot CMS Hub, Contentstack, and WordPress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marketing platforms like Adobe Commerce (previously Magento), Adobe Experience Manager, Hubspot Marketing Hub, and Marketo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and FTP<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Source code repositories like Bitbucket, Git, GitHub, and GitLab<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Documentation services (help centers and knowledge bases) like Salesforce Knowledge, Help Scout, and Zendesk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design software like Sketch and Figma<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Third-party services like Captionhub, Gengo, Gridly, LBS Suite, Paligo, Plunet, TransPDF, and XTRF<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-bring-all-things-business-translation-under-one-roof\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-bring-all-things-business-translation-under-one-roof\"><\/span>How to bring all things business translation under one roof<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Adopting a cloud-based TMS is an effective way of getting managers, developers, subject matter experts, translators, copywriters, marketers, and designers on the same page.
