Background

As a long-term partner, Protiviti approached Renaissance Translations to translate 38,617 words of BCMS-related governance documents into Arabic (UAE) and Russian. The content included highly technical corporate governance materials in Excel sheets, requiring precise terminology, fast turnaround, and localisation that reflected regional corporate language norms.

Challenges

Technical Complexity of Governance Content

The BCMS documents contained specialised terminology and regulatory references. Translating these accurately demanded subject-matter expertise in governance and compliance.

Consistency Across Languages

Ensuring uniform translation of terms across multiple Excel sheets and two different target languages was critical. Any inconsistency could undermine the reliability of the governance framework.

Tight Turnaround Time

Protiviti requested delivery under strict deadlines. Managing nearly 40,000 words of dense, technical material in two languages within a short timeframe posed significant resource challenges.

Solutions

Expert Governance Linguists

We assigned linguists with deep knowledge of governance, compliance, and risk management. Their familiarity with BCMS terminology ensured translations were accurate and aligned with industry standards.

Glossary Development

A bilingual glossary with more than 700 validated governance terms was created and shared across translation teams. This tool guaranteed consistency across all Excel sheets and facilitated smooth reviews.

Streamlined Project Management

Dedicated project managers coordinated schedules, oversaw progress, and ensured daily updates were provided to the client. Backup linguists were on standby to maintain workflow and meet deadlines.

Quality & Format Assurance

Final translations were thoroughly reviewed for accuracy and consistency, with all Excel formatting preserved to ensure files were ready for immediate client use.
