A luxury automotive manufacturer needed manuals and marketing content localized between German and Kazakh, delivered through a top-100 LSP partner.
Kazakh has almost no settled automotive terminology, so the work started by building the vocabulary the content needed before translation could be consistent.
The problem to solve
Automotive manuals demand exact, repeatable terminology: a part or a safety instruction has to use the same Kazakh term every time it appears, across hundreds of thousands of words.
Because the pair lacks an established automotive glossary, generic translation would have produced inconsistent terms that undermine both safety documentation and brand marketing.
How Translation services was delivered
MoniSa built a German-to-Kazakh automotive glossary first, then ran translation and review against it so terminology stayed consistent across manuals and marketing.
Terminology first
A domain glossary was built before bulk translation, so part names and safety terms stayed fixed across the project.
Register split
Manuals were handled for precision and marketing for tone, using the same agreed terminology base.
Review against the glossary
A second linguist checked each batch against the glossary instead of translating in isolation.
