Expertise (Localization)
of Chris Translation Company
|
Inhouse systems and technologies that
ensure quality, costs, and schedules
provide solutions necessary for globalization. |
 |
Characteristics of Localization |
| Under the slogan "Quality Serves as a Second Sales Rep," we
have established an in-house quality assurance system under which more than 100 staff
members including in-house translators, editors, and proofreaders collaborate with each
other. In-house translators share customer information and exchange their translation
knowhow with each other to help improve translators' skills. Past information assets are
accumulated through knowledge management so that customers' needs can be fully satisfied. |
 With 110 licenses for using TRADOS, a translation support tool, we respond
adequately to translation and localization needs that require translation memory control
and a large volume of translation. This tool allows the use of all translation assets and
maximizes cost-effectiveness.
It also allows translators to use the same, consistent terms and expressions in the same
document or throughout related documents, and satisfies customers in terms of quality,
cost, and delivery time.

| • |
We use TRADOS SDK to develop different tools such as a tool to search TagEditor and a
preview tool. These tools help improve translation quality. |
| • |
We developed CheckMate, a tool to search style guides, which is used to check that
translation rules are followed properly. This is an important tool in our quality
assurance system. |
| • |
These tools improve translation quality, make us competitive in price, and allow quick
delivery. |

Major Fields in Localization |
With accelerated globalization, companies all over the world cannot
ignore the necessity for localization of the entire business from selling their own
products to technology transfers. How products are localized determines subsequent selling
strategies.
For successful localization, Chris Translaion has tied up with localization vendors in
Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, and Seoul and shared business with each for competitive
advantage. Through these tie-ups, we are aiming to optimize localization to propose
optimum solutions in terms of management, quality, cost, and delivery time.
To respond to diversified translation needs among companies all over the world, we have
many translators with expertise in a wide range of fields. In this sense, we are one of
the most extraordinary translation companies in the world. We are also proud of our lineup
of excellent in-house translators.
Translators, editors, and proofreaders with expertise in different fields make a team,
allowing translation of all fields. These in-house translators give appropriate
instructions required in translation to external translators who have passed a difficult
examination (Translator Qualifying Examination: TQE), and this provides an environment
where high quality translations can be produced.
In addition, we run the Chris Translation Academy, a translation school. Chris Translation
Academy has been providing various courses including correspondence courses to foster
translators in different fields for over 20 years. Thus, a large base of translators
serves as an engine for high quality translations. |

Localization into Four Asian Languages |
We also localize English products for use in Japanese, Mandarin Chinese,
Taiwanese, and Korean. With the recent rapid economic development in China, the demand for
localization of products into Mandarin Chinese has been growing.
Many companies have come to China from all over the world as part of their economic
strategies focusing on the market of 1.3 billion people. We localize software, manuals,
online help, and catalogs required to use these companies' products in a timely fashion. South
Korea and Taiwan have also become important partners in the Asian economic block including
China and Japan.
We support localization of all kinds of software products and the documents required in
selling them, as well as technical tie-ups. We can also localize into different languages
such as Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, and Korean. |
