Preparing for a Major Multilingual Translation Project: Key Learnings and Insights

Introduction: Preparing for potential large-scale projects is as crucial as executing them in the world of professional translation services, especially within the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. Recently, we had the opportunity to gear up for a significant project involving IFU updates and translations across 21 languages, which, while not confirmed, offered valuable insights into our readiness and strategic approach.

    • Preparatory Measures: We detailed workflows and engaged with a network of skilled translators, showcasing our capacity to manage large-scale projects efficiently.

  1. Team Coordination and Management:
    • Team Mobilization: The readiness with which our team of translators across various languages came together demonstrated our robust project management and coordination capability.
    • Expertise Utilization: The willingness and preparedness of our linguists, who specialize in medical translations, underscored the depth of our resources and readiness to take on complex challenges.

  1. Challenges and Strategic Planning:
    • Managing Expectations: One of the primary challenges was managing expectations both internally and externally. This experience has refined our strategies in project communication and coordination.
