Our Translation Services Management ProcessDocument translationWe translate technical, commercial and legal documents, among others, and deliver each project in the client's chosen format.
Software localizationSoftware developers produce multilingual applications that are sold in markets abroad. However, many developers are unaware of the methods, technologies and tools required for the proper localization and internationalization of their products.
Our turnkey process for preparing commercial software for the market is conducted by linguistic engineering professionals, and consists of:
• Preparation of the "translation kit", which includes preparing both the files to be translated and all of the specific instructions required to do so, including memories and glossaries.
• Translation management (resources, messages, etc).
• Insertion of resource files into the software and modification of the application so it will load in the selected language.
• Modification of graphical interface components.
• Error testing and bugfixing.
Web contentLocalization for online content is similar to localization for online help systems, as they are both usually encoded in HTML or XML.
Online help translationWe tackle the translation of all program help guides, adapting them to the translated software and localizing them into each language. This kind of localization requires the generation of tables of contents, index entries, screenshots, etc. in order to ensure that translated software and the corresponding help guides are perfectly consistent for the end user.
This requires:
• Extraction of the compiled help content to a "translatable" format (normally HTML, XML).
• Translation of content, editing links and the index and table of contents, if necessary.
• Screen shots.• Help guide.• Error testing and bugfixing.
Technical writingHELPING TO CREATE CONTENT
At MondragonLingua, we have staff specializing in technical writing ready to assist companies and organizations in the production of their instructions, manuals and technical documentation
This service is provided by professionals from the documentation’s target fields — engineers, architects, doctors, pharmacists and even consumers —, thereby guaranteeing that the documentation generated will be correct and accurate and understandable for clients and users alike.
Multimedia translationIN ANY FORMAT
Information now comes in a range of formats — video, audio, Internet, etc. — each of which requires a different solution when its content is presented in the various languages in which it is drafted. We participate in these production phases, providing solutions for the linguistic needs of the different multimedia products.
Corporate terminologymanagement
Terminology management is based on a rigorous study of the phraseology specific to different companies and organizations, and is essential if they are to guarantee uniformity and consistency in all of their multilingual communications and media. This service is provided by terminologists and experts in terminology management.
Desktop Publishing (DTP)THE PERFECT FINISH

Language TechnologyCOMMITTED TO INNOVATIONWe are committed to technological innovation in translation, localization and content management, making it part of our value chain:
Machine Translation (MT) We have developed and incorporated our own machine translation system into our service value chain; in certain projects, this leads to shorter turnaround times and more competitive prices.
Translation Memories Translation memories are technological applications that permit us to securely store each individual client’s linguistic assets (texts, phrases, segments). When we begin a new project, these memories ensure the translation is consistent, while expediting the process, minimizing errors and reducing the cost of repeated words and segments. The result is optimum value for money. At MondragonLingua, we work with the most advanced translation memories on the market.
