The client was in search of a highly proficient translation vendor, one who could not only provide top-tier linguistic services but also ensure Section 508 compliance. They had a pressing need for translations and localizations of their digital content in Arabic, Spanish, and French, recognizing the significance of making their materials accessible to diverse audiences across different languages and abilities.
We were entrusted with the monumental responsibility of translating our client's newsletters, press releases, brochures, presentations, blogs, and project summaries into Arabic, Spanish, and French. Among the client's most stringent demands was the requirement for the translations in all three languages to be 508 Compliant. This challenge was not merely an obligation; it was an absolutely critical endeavour.
The triumph of this undertaking rested on our unwavering commitment to delivering Section 508 Compliant Translation and Localization Services that would not just meet standards but also resonate with diverse language communities worldwide. Our success was not measured solely by compliance, but by our ability to bridge language gaps, empower inclusivity, and convey our client's message with impactful resonance across the globe.
To ensure a seamless transfer of meaning and understanding in translation, the inclusion of visual elements, including images and info graphics, takes on a pivotal role. It became an unwavering imperative to uphold uniform formatting throughout the source documents when embarking on the task of translating content into three distinct target languages. For this ambitious undertaking to yield the desired results, our devoted Desktop Publishing (DTP) team embarked on a mission to meticulously align the formatting of the InDesign target files in three diverse languages with the source material. This precision was not the sole challenge; we also committed ourselves to meeting the rigorous standards of Section 508 Compliance, further intertwining the intricacies of formatting requirements with the unwavering commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. Our mission was a multi-faceted one, where linguistic accuracy met visual coherence and accessibility, forging a path towards comprehensive and impactful communication across languages and communities.
In pursuit of the pinnacle of precision and excellence, our client initiated a rigorous review process for their Section 508 Compliant translation, mobilizing a battalion of internal and external reviewers. The need for a formidable tracking system became paramount in this intricate process, as it served as the linchpin for both parties to masterfully orchestrate the avalanche of deliverables.
This meticulous review phase was more than just a step; it was a symphony of expertise converging to ensure that each translated piece resonated with not only linguistic accuracy but also the spirit and intent of the original content. The tracking mechanism was the conductor's baton in this symphony, guiding the collaborative effort toward the crescendo of a flawless, impactful final product.
