The Challenge

In the realm of medical technology, the stakes are high. Our client is a global leader in medical technologies, active in 100+ countries, and focused on improving patient and healthcare outcomes worldwide.

They needed a language services provider (LSP) with extensive expertise in medical devices to meet their localization and linguistic needs across several specialized areas to achieve global growth and presence in local markets.

These areas included technical documentation, marketing collateral translation, software UI localization, functional hardware testing, and more. It was crucial to meet stringent regulatory requirements and intellectual property protection processes, ensuring that all localized content and products not only meet the highest standards of accuracy and compliance but also safeguard intellectual property.

The Solution

Welocalize rose to the occasion by establishing dedicated teams across three time zones. Each team was staffed with specialists in document translation, software localization, and hardware testing. We built a team of linguists trained and knowledgeable about the client’s business and product offerings, ensuring consistent, high-quality results across 34 language pairs.

Our approach included setting up rigorous processes and leveraging advanced tools to meet the client’s regulatory and IP protection needs. This strategy ensured the safeguarding of linguistic assets and physical products alike.

The Results

Our agility and ability to ramp up to meet client needs, coupled with our advanced use of translation technology tools, allowed for the monumental task of translating 6.3 million words and conducting functional tests on eight medical devices. This effort doubled the volume of localized, up-to-date documentation available for the client’s global use.

Notably, the client saved significant costs by using Welocalize’s translation memory (TM) and technology solutions, leading to savings of $1M.

Our partnership with this leading medical technology company stands as a beacon of achievement in strategic localization and translation as we continue to support the global expansion of healthcare innovation. Our work together exemplifies our commitment to enhancing global health through the power of precise and accessible communication.

This partnership has facilitated a broader reach for life-saving technologies and services by emphasizing quality, compliance, and efficiency.
