Quality management of specialist translations for the automotive industry
Project management tailored to the automotive industry, the correct choice of translator and editor, and the correct use of databases allow us to create high quality and target-oriented translations. We make sure that the meaning of the original text is translated correctly into the target language, that the translation is comprehensible, free of spelling and grammatical errors, uses correct terminology and is consistent.
Furthermore, the content is adapted to the specific linguistic and cultural conditions of the target market, the translation is checked for consistency with earlier or parallel translation projects, and the layout of the translation is modelled on that of the source text.
KERN UK Ltd. also applies the standard for measuring translation quality, SAE J2450, which has been developed especially for the automotive industry. Based on given error categories and their weighting, each translation is given a quotient as a measuring value for the translation.
At KERN, however, our work is not limited to specific texts alone, but rather encompasses extensive support for all foreign-language communication in the automotive industry:
- Process control and optimisation during the processing of foreign-language data, creation of customer-specific workflows
- Building, maintaining and managing terminology, managing translation memory databases
- Customising your foreign language texts in terms of target groups and culture
