Helping You Work with World-Leading Designers

We love that car manufacturers are diverse, multinational companies, employing experts in their fields from across the world, regardless of language background. Our translation and interpretation services make language barriers a non-issue, so you can work with the very best expert car designers in the world. Our design-stage services include everything from on-site meeting interpretation to CAD document translation, helping your designers and engineers share ideas and expertise without delay or loss or information.

Facilitating the Highest Product Quality

It’s not unusual for cars to be manufactured in an entirely different part of the world to where they were designed. At this stage, our translators ensure concise translations of manufacturing processes, guidelines and so on to ensure complete quality control over the smallest elements. Working with a Talking Heads automotive expert translator who has manufacturing experience and understands the purpose of each individual component can provide a clear, concise and reliable translation of the highly technical jargon used in car manufacturing. This improves the quality of manufacturing and reduces the risk of product recall down the line.

Ensuring Complete Clarity and Compliance

These highly technical documents require faultless translation to ensure that they are fit for purpose in every country. Customers must be able to refer to accurate information should something go wrong with their vehicle. It is also a legal requirement to provide this information clearly in the official language(s) of each market for health and safety compliance. At Talking Heads, we work with work-leading legal partners who have full understanding of the relevant legislations in each market. Our 18-step translation process ensures complete accuracy and compliance. When translating technical or safety information, we refer to the relevant legislation concerning User Manuals / Instructions for Use documents  to ensure complete compliance. The finished translation can be reviewed by a legal team in the target country; who will become responsible for the compliance in the market, offering you complete peace of mind.

Reaching Every Global Market

When it comes marketing the finished product to customers, we understand how vital it is that every word is perfect. We know that you value what drives customers to purchase cars and the differences you’ll face in each culture. We offer transcreation for your marketing materials, ensuring it has the same impact in target markets as the original content. Read more about what transcreation is here.
