PRODOC is more than just a translation agency – we take care of all aspects of the internationalization and localization of product information. Of course, the certified technical translation always plays an important role, but our services go far beyond a simple translation.
The aim is to provide finished product information (operating instructions, data sheets, brochures, software, websites, etc.) in the desired foreign language.
We support all company divisions – from marketing to technical editing/construction to the IT department – with solutions tailored to the respective requirements. Our focus is always on efficiency.

Solutions for the whole company
We frequently request the translation of documents into 36 languages. PRODOC takes a lot of administrative work off our hands and delivers fully formatted documents in all 36 languages.
PRODOC creates a terminology database for us and fills it with frequently used terms during the translation process. This provides us with consistent translations that reflect our company-specific language.
PRODOC translates a wide variety of document types for us: XML data for manuals, brochures in InDesign and texts for our homepage. Through the use of memoQ as a CAT tool, PRODOC ensures that the translations are very consistent overall.
Solutions for marketing
PRODOC can translate InDesign files for brochures and flyers directly. This is highly convenient for us and saves time in the preparation and postprocessing of the files.
Data exchange with PRODOC via NextCloud is no problem at all. There is no need to send attachments by email, and even larger files can be transferred easily.
With PRODOC, we can always provide complete documents for translation, even if very little has changed. We do not need to highlight changes in the source text. That saves us a lot of time.

We create all our operating instructions in Word. PRODOC translates these professionally into many different languages, including rare languages such as Latvian. We receive translated Word files preformatted by PRODOC and have very little effort in formatting them ourselves.
After the implementation of our Noxum editorial system, PRODOC was able to process the data directly from the system using a specially adapted filter. Translations of the previous operating instructions from MS-Word could continue to be used without additional costs.
We compile our operating instructions according to the DITA standard. The translation of the DITA data at PRODOC works perfectly.
Initially our documentation was compiled in Framemaker. After migrating to Schematext ST4, PRODOC was able to use the reference data of the previous translation jobs without any problems. PRODOC also handles the translation of ST4 data without any problems. We are very satisfied!
Solutions for IT
We sometimes ask for the translation of XML data with embedded HTML. PRODOC has created its own filter for this purpose. Precisely that what has to be translated is translated and we get valid XML files back!
