Case Study: Sony Pictures Entertainment achieves rapid, on-time multilingual localization of SAP user guides with TransPerfect

Sony Pictures Entertainment - Customer Case Study

Sony Pictures Entertainment, a global entertainment company implementing a new SAP software package, needed technical user guides translated into Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese for its initial rollout. Facing 25 graphics‑heavy PowerPoint presentations (~10,000 words), aggressive one‑week deadlines, and an English source still being finalized, Sony engaged TransPerfect to localize the materials quickly.

TransPerfect created a customized rolling workflow: certified linguistic teams translated copy as it arrived, formatted translations into the existing PowerPoint layouts, and delivered finished files via a secure FTP portal directly to Sony’s printer. This approach allowed TransPerfect to meet the under‑week deadline, eliminate delivery lag, and provide on‑time localized training materials to Sony’s Latin American, Brazilian and Japanese operations.
