The power generation industry faces many challenges as the world increasingly demands cleaner, more efficient sources of power.

Pangeanic’s staff offers years of technical language consultancy services for leading nuclear centres in the UK, co-generation plants in Spain and Latin America (from installation to commissioning & training technical documentation), solar power manuals, wind power, and other alternative sources sometimes at patent level.

We have worked on-site at technical training sessions, worked out reduction costs for technical documentation and translation… Pangeanic is a company you can trust for technically-innovative technologies and for very large, multi-million installations where specialist knowledge is required.

To quote just a number, Pangeanic desktop-published more than 5,000 final pages in 2006, which included user and operation manuals in 24 languages for major household and professional brands all over the world. During 2007, Pangeanic reached 8,000 autoDTP pages in interface with our translation programs, with an average of 600,000 words per month. In 2008, the average was 850,000 words monthly and 1,200 monthly autoDTP pages for publication in 26 languages. The numbers have only kept growing since – and all that thanks to technology and techniques that represent considerable savings in our client’s budgets. The more our clients were publishing for the web, in HTML format or printed paper, the cheaper it was becoming for all of them.

Our approach is to let the technology do the hard work. We use software programs and filters that read and extract the text automatically from the template or design, filter it with the design codes using our tools and apply the databases we have collated from previous jobs. Then, our quality translation circle begins and finishes by placing the translated text automatically back into the template. This saves hours of copying and pasting work… only the human touch is required for catalogues, user manuals and multilingual artwork to look perfectly finished.

If your publishing needs are substantial, you will save a lot of time and money with our automated publication approach, whatever the target language you need.
