# Translia

> Translia is an ISO 17100 and ISO 18587 certified language company based in Beijing and Hong Kong, operating two connected practices: (1) multilingual content workflows for global brands — keeping web, product, and support content aligned across markets — and (2) language data production for AI systems, specializing in Asian-language speech data, code-switching audio, transcription validation, and evaluation. Legal entities: Translia Limited (Hong Kong) and 北京传为文化有限公司 (Beijing).

## Services

### Core — Multilingual Web & Product Content
For websites, product pages, landing pages, campaign assets, and customer-facing content that changes often and needs to stay aligned across markets. Includes terminology control, structured review, and ongoing update cycle support. Best for teams managing 5+ markets with weekly or monthly content changes.

### Premium — Brand & Marketing Localization
Cultural adaptation for brand messaging, campaign copy, slogans, investor communications, and executive content. Multiple creative options per key phrase, native-market cultural review, and style guides for consistency. A tagline that resonates in Chinese will often fail in literal English translation — we bridge that gap.

### Support — Knowledge & Help Content
Synchronized multilingual help centers, FAQ pages, in-app help text, chatbot scripts, and support documentation. Maintained at the pace of product updates so multilingual versions never fall behind source.

### Live — Interpreting & Live Subtitles
Professional consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, real-time subtitle display for presentations, pre-event rehearsal and coordination. Both onsite and remote options for international board meetings, conferences, product launches, and company town halls.

## AI Language Data

Translia builds training and evaluation data for AI, specializing in Asian languages and code-switching — the scenarios general data vendors struggle to source. Managed production (not anonymous crowd labor), with documented consent and provenance per contributor. Four data lines:

- **Speech Data Collection** — scripted and spontaneous speech, dual-speaker conversational, dialectal; managed speaker sourcing with strict technical specs (sample rate, channels, environment, demographics), validated per batch.
- **Code-Switching Audio** — Cantonese-English, Mandarin-English and other mixed-language scenarios; the current frontier of speech AI.
- **Transcription & Validation** — multi-language transcription and validation QA at production scale, per-batch turnaround.
- **MT & LLM Evaluation** — adequacy, fluency, ranking, and LQA by native evaluators.

Languages include Hong Kong Cantonese, Taiwan Mandarin, Simplified Mandarin and other Chinese variants, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Turkish, and a growing set. Engagement model is company-to-company, including as a subcontracted production partner to leading AI platform providers. Provenance-first production: documented consent, sourcing and batch records supporting AI-regulation transparency requirements (e.g. EU AI Act).

Articles on multilingual content strategy, workflow design, and localization operations.

- [How to prevent locale drift: keeping source and localized content in sync](https://www.translia.com/en/insights/how-to-prevent-locale-drift/): The five workflow controls — single source of truth, enforced terminology, per-locale review ownership, update propagation, and version records — that keep localized content aligned as the source changes.
- [Keeping game terminology consistent across every asset and update](https://www.translia.com/en/insights/game-localization-terminology-consistency/): Why game terminology consistency across UI, dialogue, store, marketing, and future patches depends on a maintained termbase and update workflow, not individual translators.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is a multilingual content workflow?
A multilingual content workflow is the end-to-end process of updating source content and keeping all language versions synchronized — covering translation, review, terminology control, file handling, and delivery. Most teams have a translation step but lack the surrounding workflow structure, which causes version drift, rework, and coordination overhead.

### How is Translia different from a traditional translation agency?
Traditional agencies focus on one-time translation projects. Translia is structured around ongoing content operations — recurring update cycles, terminology management, and integration into your existing content publishing workflow. We measure success by how smoothly your multilingual content runs, not by word counts.

### What languages does Translia work with?
Primarily Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), English, and French, with coverage across other major world languages. Our core operational strength is Chinese–English and Chinese–French workflows.

### How does Translia handle terminology consistency across markets?
We maintain client-specific glossaries and style guides. All content is reviewed against these references before delivery, and terminology is updated collaboratively as products and brands evolve.

### Does Translia work with specific industries?
Yes. Primary industries: consumer electronics, cross-border e-commerce, software & SaaS, professional services, and enterprise technology. See /en/industries for sector-specific information.

### What is the free workflow assessment?
A no-cost review of your current multilingual content setup. Share how your team handles updates across languages and we'll identify where you're losing time — specifically to review drag, language drift between markets, and coordination overhead. Followed by a 30-minute call to walk through findings. Available at /en/contact.
