As a full-service provider in the field of global language management, KERN offers more than just translations. From the production of extensive corporate materials through to printing and dispatch, it handles all the necessary steps to ensure a satisfactory outcome for the client.
The new Audi is here: whenever new car models are launched, the global car manufacturer familiarises all Audi dealers across more than 30 countries with the new features. After all, anyone wishing to sell the new generation of cars professionally must know all the details and be able to explain them clearly.
For its international product launch training, Audi therefore relies on the interpreting services provided by KERN. In the summer of 2012, ahead of its dealer training programme, the car manufacturer issued a call for tenders via an agency, which KERN – an experienced provider of interpreting and translation services – once again succeeded in winning.
As a full-service language service provider, KERN is ideally equipped to handle projects that are complex in terms of both content and design. The dedicated account and project team, comprising several linguists, translation engineers, desktop publishers (DTP) and production staff, delivered the project to Arrow’s complete satisfaction in accordance with the training and milestone plan.
Four specialist translators and two terminologists from the KERN team were involved solely to ensure that the linguistic aspects and company-specific technical terminology were accurately reflected in the initial translation.
Nowadays, a multilingual online presence is a given for international companies, service providers and institutions. However, the effort involved in translation, administration and maintenance is often enormous and requires a great deal of coordination. When Schön Klinik decided to put the English translation of its website out to tender, KERN was selected. The complex English website went live after just three months.
The sheer volume of data – totalling approximately 1,500,000 characters – presented a major challenge for the team at KERN. The website was translated into English, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin) and Japanese. To ensure a consistent standard of translation, KERN employed a core team of translators with technical expertise in the subject matter of the text content supplied by Heraeus.
