About AECOM

AECOM is a Fortune 500 company employing more than 95,000 people around the world.

It provides professional engineering, consulting and project management services for infrastructure projects for wastewater, energy, petrochemical and cities.

Background

AECOM had a highly technical and detailed client project for the petroleum sector.
The project required the localization of technical content for engineering drawings and specifications for both new and refurbished sites.

Outcome

The on-time delivery of content to the required high standard has provided AECOM with the new 3D engineering model to roll out to clients, and confidence that Straker Translations can deliver highly accurate and highly technical multilingual content to exacting timelines. The resultant translation project also came in under budget.

Process

Workflow processes consisted of translating high volume files in Excel format from English to Dutch. Adherence to technical as well as health and safety guidelines was imperative with such detailed specifications and instructions.

To be able to deliver this project on time was achievable due to the resources available to us. We were able to support this via 15 in-country linguists with the necessary technical knowledge and language expertise.

Files were processed using Straker Translations’ SunRAY system to ensure the best outcomes. We were able automatically quote and pre-process the files ready for upload to linguists for translation and manage terminology. Glossaries and term files were also created to ensure accuracy, and adherence to critical delivery deadlines. Pre-processing also meant that client costs were kept to a minimum.
