Case Study: Cybersecurity company

Summary

One of my clients is a major Russian cybersecurity company. I provide translation, proofreading, and linguistic testing services to ensure a good impression on the English-speaking world. Most of their text is technical (for example, API documentation, user interfaces, help articles, release notes, and software manuals), and I also assist with legal text, e.g. terms of service, privacy policy; GDPR disclosures. My knowledge of cybersecurity terminology has been essential here.

These jobs typically require a quick turnaround time. In addition to Microsoft Office, this client regularly uses passes files as SDL Trados Studio and SDL Passolo packages.

Translation

RU>EN translation of technical texts related to anti-virus software, computer security, file reputation, VPN, malware, software vulnerabilities, computer threats, spyware, signature-based and heuristic based virus detection, firewalls, secure online shopping, etc.

Proofreading

The client’s in-house technical writers create both Russian and English content, but they aren’t native English speakers. I review their English text to catch any issues and polish the style. Frequently, the client needs the reviewed files to be delivered within a few hours.

Linguistic testing

I have reviewed tens of thousands of localized UI screenshots to check for any linguistic issues: spelling mistakes, incorrect grammar and punctuation, incorrect terminology, incorrect date/time/currency formats, clipped text, etc. I mainly perform this work using the client’s proprietary tool for reviewing screenshots and logging linguistic issues.
