Across Systems has said that in order to further optimize processes for creation of multilingual product information, Volkswagen has decided to switch technology and opt for Across Systems. This will benefit all the corporate brands, including Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen commercial vehicles.
As a central software platform, the Across Language Server enables the integration of internal departments, external language service providers and freelance translators in a cohesive system. On top of that, efficiency will be improved by direct connection of Volkswagen’s editorial system to the Language Server as well as a web portal to be used by staff members and service providers for direct access to centrally stored corporate terminology.
The ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH, an IT service provider of Volkswagen, will implement a corporate solution based on the Across Language Server, to provide integration and automation during the adaptation of product information for foreign markets. This approach guarantees a high degree of process security and consistency as well as short processing time and minimal costs, despite a high outsourcing rate and constant content changes.
The Across Language Server reportedly enables Volkswagen to realize a linguistic supply chain that spans content creation, translation, quality assurance and delivery of finalized foreign language content to the corresponding systems. Smooth workflows and process automation enhance cost reduction and availability of, for example, user manuals for foreign markets.
