60,000 Word Tender Document in 5 Days

A leading telecoms company approached APT requiring a 60,000 word tender document to be translated into English for a major contract in Spain. Due to the nature of the document and its technical content, the client needed the project to be undertaken on a ‘Publication’ basis and to be completed in 5 days in order that their engineers could start work on their response.

With over 2 decades of experience working with telecoms technology companies covering areas such as 3G, landline network providers, submarine and blue tooth technology, we provide an essential localisation service to this market sector.

This particular organisation immediately called on our team of specialist translators to manage the translation project.

Our project managers created a schedule for the work to ensure that sufficient resources were available for the additional editing that was required before the document was returned to the client.

As a result of our project manager’s organisational skills and the use of translation memory technology, the project was completed to the client’s total satisfaction, on time and on budget.

We have continued to produce highly technical translations for this particular client for over 15 years which is testament in itself to the quality of our work.
