Case Study: Honda Motor Europe achieves scalable multilingual eLearning delivery with RWS

Honda Motor Europe delivers multilingual training to 30,000 staff with RWS

Honda Motor Europe faced challenges in localizing training and eLearning content for its dealer network across Europe. Their decentralized translation model resulted in inconsistent quality and inefficiency, exacerbated by a lack of translation memory and poor terminology management. With limited internal resources, their processes could not scale to meet demand. To address this, they partnered with language solutions vendor RWS.

RWS implemented a centralized solution using a translation management system (TMS), translation memory and a terminology management program. They applied a blended approach of human translation and machine translation with post-editing, alongside services like voiceover, subtitling and desktop publishing. This provided Honda with improved efficiency and faster localization, enabling delivery to tight deadlines. The solution offered greater scalability to meet peaks in demand and delivered consistent, high-quality output that exceeded Honda’s standards.
