Strategy
A dedicated bilingual specialist with technical translation experience was assigned to handle the project. The first step involved carefully deciphering the handwritten Spanish content, which varied in clarity. The team utilized digital enhancement tools to improve legibility where necessary. Once transcribed, the content underwent a rigorous translation process focused on accuracy and clarity, especially for technical terminology. A secondary reviewer with expertise in agricultural machinery verified the final output before delivery, ensuring it aligned with the client’s training standards and documentation format.
