The Challenge

For Carestream Dental’s Service Engineering Team, delivering high-quality technical documentation and training materials to dental technicians around the world is a key responsibility. Given the company’s global footprint, translating these materials into multiple languages is essential. However, the existing translation process, managed through an internal department and outsourced to external partners, posed several challenges.

High costs and delayed turnaround times were consistent issues. Because the content included complex technical terminology, internal technicians had to spend considerable time reviewing and correcting outsourced translations. This added workload not only delayed delivery but also pulled valuable internal resources away from higher-priority tasks. It became clear that a more efficient, cost-effective solution was needed—one that could meet the team’s technical and formatting standard without compromising quality.

The Approach

To improve efficiency while maintaining accuracy, the team adopted a hybrid translation strategy. This approach involved using a translation platform for the initial translation phase, followed by internal technician review to ensure technical precision.

Partnering with Pairaphrase proved to be the right move. From the outset, the Pairaphrase team demonstrated a deep understanding of Carestream Dental’s needs and responded with tailored solutions. Collaboration extended all the way to the development team, who worked alongside Carestream Dental to add support for specialized file formats required by the Service Engineering Team. The result was a direct, customizable translation workflow that dramatically reduced friction in the process.
