Almost fully automating multilingual DTP production for translation collaboration. Partial corrections are also acceptable!
Our localization service differs from plugins in that it can handle regular InDesign data without the need for Automatic XML. The process involves creating the user manual in Adobe InDesign, translating it into English, and then performing translations into multiple languages. Please contact us for more details.
Manual Instruction Manual Translation
At SDES Co., Ltd., we propose the construction of multi-purpose manuals as a core element. Manufacturers have the responsibility to create clear and easy-to-understand manuals for educating and informing consumers (users). Manuals are part of the product, and unclear manuals are considered a defect in the product. Readable and understandable manuals reflect the manufacturer's spirit of service and consideration for customers, and good manuals bring dignity and grace to the manufacturer. While manuals are often seen as an expense, they are actually a responsibility for manufacturers. Additionally, products require sales promotion. Catalogs, commercials, and today, the web are all important elements of sales promotion, and it is essential to express Corporate Identity through these channels. We propose methods to absorb as much sales promotion production costs as possible within the budget allocated for the manuals that must be created as a responsibility.

Market responsiveness expands with multilingual user manuals! The key factors are high-quality translation and DTP, abundant industry case studies, and proposals for utilizing translation memory.
We would like to introduce a case of translation of the instruction manual from Japanese to English/Chinese (Simplified) for Thermos Co., Ltd. The company felt the need for multilingual support and began to engage in translation projects in earnest. One of the challenges was that the existing instruction manuals were only in Japanese, which meant they were not adequately addressing a diverse customer base. After the delivery of the translated instruction manuals, the support has been limited to only a few models, but the English and Chinese (Simplified) versions of the instruction manuals have been published. Although the rollout is still limited, we are definitely seeing positive effects. [Case Overview] ■Challenges - Due to a lack of translation experience in-house, external specialized support was needed. ■Effects - The translation process proceeded very smoothly. - The use of translation memory contributed to increased efficiency in some areas. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
