Executive Summary

The Challenge: Complexity, Compliance, and Content Chaos
As a financial giant with over 250,000 employees and operations across multiple continents, the client faced mounting pressure to produce high-quality multilingual content at scale.
Their existing approach was holding them back:
- Attempts to speed up with technology led to over-reliance on raw machine translation. Understandably that led to terminology errors and cultural tone-deafness.
- Localization was siloed by separate departments, leading to brand inconsistencies.
- Launch of new localised content for almost any language and specifically for Asian languages took months.
- Multimedia production,from voiceovers to subtitling,was slow and inconsistent.
- Internal teams lacked bandwidth for quality assurance, especially for compliance-sensitive documents.
The result? Delays, increase budget based on time spent on vocalization, and brand fragmentation due to department miscommunication and lack of streamlined system.
