Case Study: Travel guide publisher Petit Futé achieves real-time multilingual publishing and quadruples English output with SYSTRAN

How to internationalize a large volume of variable and dynamic content

PETIT FUTÉ, a major travel guide publisher with 729 publications, 400,000 contributors and 2.5M points of interest, needed to internationalize a huge, highly dynamic content base (45% refreshed annually) while cutting time to market and production costs. To meet these constraints, PETIT FUTÉ chose SYSTRAN’s automatic translation technology.

SYSTRAN’s solution was integrated into PETIT FUTÉ’s production chain to provide 100% automatic translation for practical information and to support translators, enabling real‑time English content and a much faster output cadence; as a result PETIT FUTÉ quadrupled its English collection with the publication of twenty titles, increased production capacity, launched new commercial offerings, and embedded SYSTRAN into its ongoing product and app initiatives.
