Further Case Studies
KERN assists a high-end OEM luxury automaker with the localization of its training materials and proprietary e-learning platform. The collaboration focuses on the effective presentation of products for sales pitches in the respective native languages. KERN’s experts possess the specialized knowledge required for the professional execution of this challenging project.
KERN assists a well-known university in the Netherlands with efficient translation management. The collaboration focuses on the rapid processing of last-minute orders and the consistent use of the university’s internal terminology. The experts at KERN possess the subject-matter expertise necessary to provide professional support to the university.
As a full-service provider in the field of global language management, KERN offers more than just translations. From the creation of extensive corporate materials through printing to shipping, the company handles all the necessary steps to ensure a satisfactory result for the client.
The new Audi is here: When new vehicle models are introduced, the global automaker familiarizes all Audi dealers in more than 30 countries with the new features. After all, anyone who wants 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. Through an agency, the automaker issued a request for proposals in the summer of 2012 in preparation for its dealer training program, which KERN—an experienced provider of interpreting and translation services—won once again.
As a full-service language service provider, KERN is ideally positioned 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—carried out the project to Arrow’s 100% satisfaction in accordance with the training and milestone schedule.
Just to handle the linguistic aspects and incorporate the company-specific technical terminology into the initial translation, four specialized translators and two terminologists from the KERN team were involved.
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 significant coordination. When Schön Klinik decided to put the English translation of its website out to bid, KERN was selected. The complex English website went live after just three months.
The large volume of data—totaling approximately 1,500,000 characters—posed a major challenge for the KERN team. The site was translated into English, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin), and Japanese. To ensure consistent translation quality, KERN assigned a core group of translators who possess technical expertise in the subject matter of the text content provided by Heraeus.
