On June 26, 2019, at Human Science Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo)

 

Learn from case studies! Translation Cost and Work Reduction Know-how Seminar

 

Will be held.

 

"In order to achieve "workstyle reform" and "productivity improvement", there is an increasing demand for business improvement in terms of cost and workload reduction in translation tasks within companies and universities. In such a situation, many responsible persons seem to be struggling with the question of "I want to work on improvement, but I don't know where to start."

 

In this seminar, we will introduce three representative approaches, including ① optimizing translation workflows, ② utilizing translation support tools such as Trados, Memsource, and machine translation, and ③ standardizing Japanese documents, in order to eliminate waste and achieve efficiency in translation work.

 

Introduction of Planned Cases


[Case Study 1: 20% Reduction in Workload for Industrial Machinery Manufacturer's Manuals and Specifications]
Optimization of Translation Process, Standardization of Style Guides, and Maintenance of Translation Memory


[Case Study 2: 40% Reduction in Workload for National University Guide Maps and Admission Information]
Introduction and Utilization of Translation Support Tools and Machine Translation


[Case Study 3: Translation of Instruction Manual and Specifications for Robot Manufacturer, Reducing Work Hours by 50%]
Standardization of Japanese Documents (Improvement from Original Source for Translation)


This is a reference for those who are interested in considering improvements for translation work. Please feel free to join us!

 

After the seminar, we will be happy to provide individual consultations as needed.
