A few months ago, an executive at a Fortune 100 telecom company called in a panic. He was in the midst of an Arabic translation emergency and had no idea how to fix it.
He was racing to finish a multi-million dollar proposal to an Arab government on a short deadline. The bid package was hundreds of pages of detailed telecom documents and, of course, it needed to be translated into flawless Arabic.
So he did what a lot of our clients do at first. He hired one of the large “big box” translation agencies. Generic shops that translate all languages.
Can you see where this is going?
Right before he called us, the first company called him up and broke the news. They weren’t going to be able to translate this massive bid package into Arabic in time.
“Is there any way you can get this done?” he asked me.
Two weeks later, well ahead of his deadline, our team of eight translators and three editors, delivered hundreds of pages of polished technical translation.
“You guys did what everyone else said was impossible,” the client wrote back to us.
But even if a multi-million dollar bid is not riding on the quality of your Arabic language translation,
There are also reputational costs to consider. Sloppy translation on your website or marketing materials will slowly erode your company’s reputation, word by word.
