The Translation Challenge
Tecman Speciality Materials, a leading UK-based designer and manufacturer of plastic materials, expanded its operations to address the critical shortage of high-quality Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
They began producing face shields for healthcare organisations across the UK, Scandinavia, Europe, and the US.
The rapid shift to manufacturing PPE, including face visors, masks, and cap visors, necessitated the quick translation of technical product information and user instructions for diverse international markets, particularly during a time when many were affected by global lockdowns.
The Bubbles Approach
Bubbles swiftly responded to Tecman’s urgent translation needs, implementing a robust strategy to ensure timely delivery of high-quality translations:
- Rapid Mobilisation of Resources: Recognising the urgency of Tecman’s requirements, we quickly mobilised our team of professional translators who were equipped to work remotely, even during lockdowns. This ensured uninterrupted translation services for critical PPE documentation.
- Specialised Translator Teams: We deployed teams of translators with expertise in healthcare and technical product documentation to ensure that all translations met the specific needs of the healthcare sector and complied with regulatory standards across different regions.
- Quality Assurance: Given the life-saving nature of PPE and the potential risks associated with incorrect usage, our translations underwent stringent quality assurance processes. This included technical reviews by subject matter experts and proofreading by native speakers to ensure accuracy and clarity.
- Scalability and Flexibility: As Tecman’s product range and target markets expanded, we scaled our translation services accordingly. This flexibility allowed us to quickly adapt to Tecman’s growing needs, translating materials for additional products and markets as required.
- Efficient Project Management: Our project management team ensured efficient coordination of translation tasks, maintaining tight deadlines and high-quality standards despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic.
