Documentation in automobile manufacturing is broader than just User Guides for drivers. It also includes diagnostic systems, electronic catalogues of spare parts, professional literature for brand-managers, service centre and sales department specialists, website content and advertising campaigns. Text formats are also diverse: from MS Word documents to HTML and specific internal corporate formats. Obviously different text types have relevant quality requirements, e.g. one will focus on factual accuracy and terminology thoroughness of translation, another one will benefit from literary style and attractive phrasing. Nevertheless, all translations for a single customer must have consistent terminology and stylistics that form the company’s corporate vision and image. Technical texts should also be edited and supplemented with new fragments and details very smoothly so that the new texts look natural.
It can be done thanks to text storage databases and quick and simple access to them. This is provided only by specialized software such as the original STAR Group development, CAT-tool Transit. Efficient software, multimillion text and dictionaries databases, managers’ professionalism and their skills to prevent and resolve complications arising during translation process, competence of translators and proofreaders and long-term experience in automobile manufacturing translations – all these factors allow STAR SPb to ensure high quality level of translations.
