Translation projects exist within a broader business context that requires attention to technological and regulatory issues. With over a decade of experience in solving the challenges of translation and international business, KJI is able to consult with clients to evaluate, select and implement content management systems (CMS), document control procedures, international regulations, e-labeling and digital publication, and third-party software integration systems.
We also attend to the regulatory and legal requirements of translation projects. KJI is well-versed in European and Asian regulatory and legal requirements. We build that expertise directly into our clients’ projects, saving them time and money while reducing risk.
Global Labeling Compliance
Labeling – the accompanying documentation explaining usage, safety, restrictions and other key information – is a critical element of success in global business. KJI consults with clients in regulated industries regarding the legal and regulatory requirements of labeling. We help clients determine what documentation should be translated, and which languages must be included.
KJI also works closely with clients to identify appropriate labeling symbols that may reduce the cost of translation while improving the required labeling; manage internal and external labeling; and navigate the maze of regulatory approval and compliance.
Electronic Labeling
Many regulatory bodies now explicitly accept electronic labeling, which means that companies can produce, disseminate, and update labeling efficiently and much more quickly than before. Working closely with your product development and regulatory compliance team, KJI will help you develop a plan for converting to an e-labeling environment, identify requirements for both technical and process changes, evaluate and select software to meet your needs, and monitor your e-labeling initiative for changes that can improve outcomes while reducing costs.
KJI has unique expertise in the arena of electronic labeling. We regularly speak, publish and participate in regulatory discussions around the world, and bring that experience home for our clients’ benefit.
Content/Enterprise Management System Integration
Many companies are managing their information through content and enterprise management systems (CMS and EMS). Creating a seamless connection between translation processes and CMS or EMS requires careful attention to the requirements of the software as well as the process. KJI consults on the selection, evaluation and implementation of CMS and EMS for our clients and can develop customized integration and web-portal applications to work directly with client solutions. We help clients address challenges such as:
-
Conversion or integration of existing documentation into CMS or EMS
-
Identification of critical features versus optional components
-
Interface of CMS or EMS with translation, localization and validation processes
-
Regulatory compliance, document management and version control
Because we have worked with many clients in a wide range of fields with a broad diversity of needs, we approach each project with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
We welcome your questions about the intersection between labeling, technology, translation and regulation.
