Technical training for Duslo’s translation department

The challenge

Duslo, a.s., a renowned chemical industry in the Slovak Republic, has embarked on an ambitious project for the implementation of a new ammonia production unit. This project has led to a significant increase in the need to translate technical documentation. To meet this new need, the internal translation team began using OmegaT, the open-source software specialized for improving the efficiency of its processes.

However, aware of the importance of acquiring in-depth expertise on the optimal use of OmegaT, Duslo’s translation team was looking for a partner who could provide targeted, quality training.

The solution

In response to this request, Qabiria organized a series of customized, distance-conducted training sessions. This approach allowed the translation team to actively participate in the sessions without significantly disrupting their daily activities.

The training sessions are designed to address Duslo’s specific needs, with detailed insights into the use of OmegaT in the field of specialized technical translation. The sessions were structured to maximize learning and ensure immediate applicability of the skills acquired.

The result

The approach taken by Qabiria has produced tangible and lasting benefits for Duslo:

1. Enhanced skills - Thanks to personalized training sessions, the internal translation team at Duslo has acquired advanced skills in the use of OmegaT, which has allowed the translation department to autonomously manage translation assignments.

2. Operational efficiency - With greater familiarity in use and a deeper understanding of OmegaT’s functions, the team is now able to translate technical documentation more quickly and efficiently, reducing turnaround time and improving overall productivity.

3. Cost savings - By eliminating dependence on outside vendors for technical translations, Duslo has significantly reduced the operational costs associated with managing technical documentation, while improving the security and confidentiality of sensitive data.
