The Challenge

Standardize the company’s terminology
Establish stylistic consistency
Create an English-based corporate language
Improve the quality of source texts, in order to reduce translation costs

The Benefits

Consistent terminology across a minimum of four languages
Better market recognition, through use of consistent corporate language
Improved communication
Reduced translation costs
Decreased product liability risks as a result of clear documentation

Our customers should feel ‘at home’ when using our documentation. A high recognition value is one thing that makes this possible. The standardization of language plays a crucial role in this process. Moreover, the clearer we make our documentation, the lower the risk of misuse will be, and thus ultimately the risk of product liability. – Wolfgang Reiner, Technical Documentation, Leica Geosystems AG
