Case Study: Large Translation Company achieves Section 508 compliance and converts 45,000 multilingual pages in 4 weeks with Aptara

Large Translation Company - Customer Case Study

One of the largest translation companies in the United States, with a primary focus on healthcare, discovered its electronic documents were not compliant with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. To avoid penalties and serve users with visual, hearing, speech, and mobility disabilities, the company needed complex charts, tables, forms, and legacy content made accessible in multiple languages.

Aptara designed and integrated a seven-step 508-compliance workflow—covering preflight analysis, accessible form processing, tagging (alt text, long descriptions, tab order), reading-order and tag-tree fixes, document settings, and final QA with a proprietary Accessibility Checker—while minimizing disruption to existing production. The team converted more than 45,000 pages in multiple languages in four weeks, and the engagement resulted in Aptara being awarded all future 508-compliant document production.
