MANAGED MULTILINGUAL PROJECTS

Multilingual projects managed from one place

VIAX manages ongoing translation and localization projects involving multiple languages, regular content and several linguistic teams. One project manager coordinates the work, deadlines, terminology, files and quality checks.

  • 75+ languages
  • Dedicated project management
  • Regular linguistic teams

When it works well

Projects that need ongoing coordination

  • Regular translation requests

    Content arrives daily, weekly or throughout the month and needs to follow the same process each time.

  • Several languages

    The same content needs to be translated and delivered across multiple target languages.

  • Large volumes

    Projects involve substantial volumes that need to be divided between linguistic teams and delivered to schedule.

  • Frequent product updates

    Websites, software, product content or support material changes regularly.

  • Several content types

    One account may include product, marketing, technical, legal or other content with different requirements.

  • Long-term programmes

    The client needs the same project resources, terminology and working process over an extended period.

Project management

One point of contact

A dedicated project manager handles the day-to-day coordination of the account. The client has one VIAX contact for languages, files, schedules, questions and delivery.

  • Project planning

    Requests are reviewed and scheduled according to language, volume, deadline and workflow.

  • Linguistic teams

    Suitable translators and reviewers are assigned for each language and kept consistent where the project allows it.

  • Questions

    Linguistic and project questions are collected and coordinated with the client.

  • Delivery

    Completed files are checked and returned according to the agreed schedule and format.

Linguistic teams

Keeping the same people on the project

Regular projects benefit from linguists who already know the client’s content, terminology and preferences. Where possible, we keep stable language teams and provide project resources for new team members when they are needed.

  • Translators

    Linguists are selected according to the language and subject area of the project.

  • Reviewers

    Reviewers check translated content where the agreed workflow includes a second linguistic step.

  • Subject experience

    Specialist content can be assigned to linguists with relevant subject knowledge.

  • Additional capacity

    Additional linguists can be added when volumes or deadlines require more capacity.

Consistency

Keeping multilingual content consistent

We can maintain the translation memories, approved terminology, style guides and project instructions used by the linguistic teams.

  • Translation memories

    Previous approved translations remain available for new and repeated content.

  • Terminology

    Approved product and company terms are kept consistent across languages.

  • Style guides

    Language-specific instructions record tone, spelling, formatting and other client preferences.

  • Client feedback

    Approved feedback can be added to the project resources and used in future work.

How we work

Setting up an ongoing project

  1. 01

    Scope

    We confirm the content types, languages, expected volumes, deadlines and required review process.

  2. 02

    Project resources

    Existing translation memories, terminology, style guides and approved content are collected where available.

  3. 03

    Team setup

    Project managers, translators and reviewers are assigned according to the languages and subject areas involved.

  4. 04

    Workflow

    We agree how requests are received, assigned, reviewed, queried and delivered.

  5. 05

    Ongoing work

    New requests follow the agreed process, with project resources updated as the account develops.

  6. 06

    Review

    The workflow can be adjusted when volumes, languages or client requirements change.

Your workflow

Working with your existing setup

If your company already uses a localization platform, translation memories, terminology or internal review process, we can work with the resources and access provided for the project.

  • CAT & TMS platforms

    Projects can be handled within the client’s existing localization environment where access and workflow allow it.

  • Existing resources

    Translation memories, terminology and style guides can be used rather than recreated.

  • Internal reviewers

    Client reviewers can remain part of the process where required.

  • Delivery process

    File formats, naming, deadlines and handoff steps can follow the agreed client workflow.
