Case Study: Karger Publishers achieves multilingual biomedical book localization with Ulatus

Karger Publishers localizes a 20,000-word biomedical book into 5 languages with Ulatus

Karger Publishers, an academic publisher specializing in scientific and medical content, partnered with Ulatus to translate a key instructional book for biomedical science graduates into five languages. Their challenge was to deliver a publication-ready, highly accurate translation that required subject-matter expertise, the ability to work within InDesign files, and meticulous desktop publishing to maintain formatting consistency across all language versions.

Ulatus implemented a solution by assigning a dedicated project manager and empowering a team of PhD-level linguists with expertise in biomedical sciences. Their in-house desktop publishing team ensured the translated files perfectly matched the source formatting. The result was the successful localization of the book into Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese within tight deadlines. Ulatus exceeded client expectations, and the published books are now for sale globally, achieving the client's goal of expanding readership and supporting researchers in their local languages.
