This year’s CSA Research Verified 100™ widened its scope to include global content solutions. The market is no longer sorting vendors by who translate fastest. It is sorting them by who can create the content, ship it in every language, and keep all of it current as products change. That is the work Hansem Global […]

Most drawings in a manual are the writer’s call. A few are not. Those few have a fixed shape, and getting them wrong costs the document its credibility. This article covers where illustration and safety pictogram part ways, and which rules apply once you cross that line. 1. Instructional illustration vs. safety warning image User […]

Today, professional translation runs on CAT (computer-assisted translation) tools. Hansem Global, a localization company that produces and adapts industrial and technical documentation in more than 50 languages, works inside these platforms, and […]

The importer was fined and barred from filing any new product registrations for six months. The products were Korean, the market was Vietnam, and the category was beauty. For a manufacturer of medical devices, industrial equipment, or electronics […]

Technical documentation defines the standard people are supposed to follow. Training content is designed to turn that standard into action. Applying the learning-design principles we observed at ATD26, manufacturers can take the most critical topics already sitting in their technical documentation and extend them into behavior-focused microlearning. This is the intersection Hansem Global is exploring: […]

This series set out to remind those responsible for manufacturers’ manuals of one thing: the manual is the certification record a regulator reviews first, not material the user never reads.
