Expanding Reach with Accurate French Website Translations

Our client

Company name: Luminex (Pseudonym)

What does the company do? 

This company provides high-end architectural lighting solutions for businesses and private clients.

Deadline set by the client: 1 week

What do they need? 

Our client needed its entire website translated into French to reach a new market and enhance its global presence. The project included technical specifications, product descriptions, and marketing content. 

The challenges

Even though we were given a week to complete this project, we encountered a couple of challenges:

First, the project required translating complex lighting and architectural terminology accurately, ensuring the translations were both technically precise and understandable.

Second, maintaining uniformity in terminology and style across various documents and web pages was essential, particularly when dealing with multiple languages.

Third, adapting marketing content to resonate with French and Italian audiences while retaining our client’s brand voice presented a unique challenge.

Two key factors contributed to our success in translating our client's website. First, the expertise of our specialized translators has a deep knowledge of the architectural lighting industry, ensuring that technical terminology and product specifications are translated accurately.

This expertise was critical in maintaining the integrity and precision of the content, which is essential for both regulatory compliance and customer understanding. Second, our robust quality assurance process. We implemented a multi-layered review system that included initial translations by industry experts, followed by thorough reviews by native speakers and further checks for consistency and accuracy.
