A first draft can be producedIt still has to sound local

A workflow for translation, terminology, and local review, for content that has to be kept in more than one language.

Why multilingual content is redone

The same content has to live in several languages at once

If the site, the manual, and the support scripts are translated separately, names and tone diverge quickly.

One piece of content, several languages

The site, a manual, or support copy has to move together, not as separate translations.

Names are translated differently each time

Product names, job titles, and legal entities do not stay stable.

Local colleagues keep rewriting the tone

The first draft is usable, but it does not sound like something a local person would say.

Language pairs and who may publish follow the habit you already have

Which languages, which names must not be translated wrongly, and who approves publication are written to match how you already publish.

A machine can speed up the first draft. Brand voice, legal wording, and what a market will not accept still need someone who knows that market.

Source, glossary, translation, and a local edit

Proper nameLocal editApproved

Names are locked before anyone edits the local tone

Source, glossary, translation, local edit

Four columns on one line. Wording can change with the language. Names stay locked to the glossary.

01

Source

A first draft from a machine or from a translator enters the same line.

02

Glossary

The same term is less likely to appear in several translations.

03

Translation

A first draft from a machine or from a translator enters the same line.

04

Local edit

A local colleague’s changes return to the glossary and to the next draft.

How work starts

Lock the names that must not be wrong

Publishing several languages before the terms are locked usually costs more in rework than the first draft did.

  1. Languages and terms

    Collect the names that must not be translated wrongly.

  2. How a draft moves

    Who produces the first draft, who edits it, and who approves publication.

  3. Where it is published

    The site, documentation, or the support library.

Review

An unreviewed translation is not published

Legal text, prices, medical claims, and any sentence that makes a promise are checked by a person. A translation is not published before that review.
