The Real Cause of Poor Translations: Flawed Source Documentation
Many manufacturers assume that poor translation quality is a problem with the translation process itself. In reality, the source manual often carries structural flaws, inconsistent terminology, and unclear instructions that no translator—no matter how skilled—can fully correct. These weaknesses in the original documentation not only raise localization costs but also delay launches, create brand inconsistencies, […]

This article explores how these evolving requirements impact […]
Why Language Service Providers Are Critical to Multilingual AI Data Labeling Projects
AI systems are evolving rapidly, but their performance still depends heavily on the quality of the training data they consume. In projects involving customer reviews, conversation logs, subtitles, or medical imagery—especially across multiple languages—simply collecting data isn’t enough. What’s required is high-precision labeling that accurately reflects linguistic meaning and cultural nuance. For example, in a […]
Visual Aids in Medical Device IFUs: Why They’re a Strategic Asset, Not Just Design
In the U.S. and other regulated markets, Instructions for Use (IFUs) for medical devices must meet high standards. Such a practice is mandated not only for safety and clarity, but also for regulatory compliance and global usability. A growing number of manufacturers now recognize that visual aids aren’t just design enhancements. They are essential tools […]
