  • Initial situation
    The company produces an IVD product - an analyzer and a test kit for clinical diagnostics. Now all documentation is supported in EN and partially in ES/DE in the form of sources in Markdown and interface strings in JSON. It is required to prepare a complete set of translations into 74 languages ​​for release in several regions, preserving terminology and legally significant wording.

    Subject area and technical environment
    - IVD medical devices, clinical diagnostics, labeling, user safety, warnings
    - Sources: Markdown (IFU/Quick Start/Labeling notes documents), JSON (UI strings), CSV (glossary), PDF references of older versions
    - Tools: CAT with TM/terminology and QA support (e.g. Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase TMS - you can offer your own stack), Xbench/Verifika or equivalent for automatic checks, Git for versioning

    What needs to be done in stages
    1) Pre-translation analysis
    - Assess the volume and repetition, collect TM from the old translations provided (if quality allows) and configure the project for 74 languages
    - Create/clarify a glossary: ​​key IVD terms, names of tests, units of measurement, warnings and contraindications

    2) Translation and localization
    - Translate Markdown documents and JSON interface strings into 74 languages ​​using TM and glossary
    - Save Markdown structure, links, code blocks, placeholders in JSON (for example {0}, %s), variables and escape sequences
    - Ensure consistency of terms between documentation and UI

    3) Linguistic and formal verification
    - Run a QA report for each language: terminology inconsistencies, omissions, inconsistent numbers/units, damaged placeholders, length of UI lines (where critical)
    - Conduct selective proofreading of high-risk sections: warnings, precautions, restrictions, interpretation of results

    4) Delivery and support of imports
    - Serve translations in original Markdown and JSON formats without changing the file layout
    - Attach TMX and glossary (TBX/CSV) in an updated form
    - Attach QA reports and a list of controversial areas with questions/solutions

    Specific result
    - A package of localized files for 74 languages, ready to build documentation and import strings into the product
    - Updated TM and glossary suitable for future releases

    Restrictions
    - You cannot change JSON keys, Markdown structure, file names and their encoding (UTF-8)
    - Approved warnings must not be rephrased in a way that changes the meaning or level of severity
    - You cannot use machine translation without post-editing to a professional level and without passing QA

    Measurable acceptance criteria
    - 0 damaged placeholders and variables in JSON, 0 changed keys
    - 0 broken links and 0 Markdown violations, rendered correctly in our pipeline
    - QA: no critical errors (missing translation, placeholder mismatch, number mismatch, terminology forbidden term). Up to 5 minor comments per language are allowed, corrected within 48 hours
    - Terminology from the agreed glossary is observed at least 98% according to a random check on 500 segments

    Input data from the customer
    - Git repository with sources, old PDFs and partial translations, current glossary in EN, list of target 74 languages ​​and locales, UI screenshots for context

    Expected Communication
    - Questions on terms and controversial wording are collected in batches once a day, so as not to slow down the translation flow
