Challenges

Need for High-Quality Translation at Scale

The client required fast, reliable translation of app content for foreign nationals in Japan. To expand its reach, the client needed high-quality translations of large volumes of restaurant menus and system content. Speed and accuracy were critical to meet launch timelines and user expectations.

Our Solution

Multi-Layered Translation Quality System

We established a multi-stage quality control system, including native speaker checks and culturally aware translators with deep knowledge of Japanese cuisine. This ensured content was accurate, relevant, and natural for English-speaking users.

Challenges

Tight Deadlines for Ongoing Menu Updates

With daily updates and fixed service launch schedules, the translation process needed to be consistently fast and dependable.

Our Solution

Dedicated Translation and Editing Teams

IGNITE deployed a dedicated translation and editing team, led by a single project manager for clear and fast communication. This streamlined workflow enabled rapid turnaround of daily content without sacrificing quality.

Challenges

Global Collaboration Across Time Zones

Managing communication and task allocation among translators in different countries introduced logistical delays.

Our Solution

24-Hour Translation Operation

We strategically assigned translators across multiple time zones to enable 24-hour production capabilities, eliminating downtime and accelerating content delivery.

Challenges

Burden for Quality Control

Previously, the client had to manually review all translations, which consumed time and internal resources.

Our Solution

Standardization Framework

We created a robust translation database and glossary system to maintain consistency and reduce client-side QA efforts. This significantly improved efficiency and translation quality.
