Challenge

Copperleaf had run into a serious challenge in its international sales process and its ability to meet the needs of its growing clientele in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. “We were using internal resources to translate UI for our French and Spanish clients, which was becoming unsustainable as we began to expand into new regions,” said Copperleaf’s Director of Marketing Communications, Laura Ryan. “We needed the ability to expand into other languages and do this in a timely manner.” Millions of dollars in business value were at stake. Copperleaf needed a scalable localization strategy for its global expansion. This meant partnering with a professional software localization provider to enhance its global reach and improve customer interactions. This strategic move aimed to localize their products and translate UI and marketing materials into various languages.

Solution

Copperleaf Technologies began seeking a reliable, effective, and responsive technical translation service provider to handle large volumes of content for the software’s user interface localization and the translation of its marketing materials. By employing high-quality translation services, Copperleaf sought to deliver consistent, accurate information across regions, expand its market presence, and ensure that its global clients and stakeholders could engage with its offerings in their native languages. Copperleaf reached out to several technical translation service providers offering user interface localization solutions. The clear winner was Art One Translations. “What we found was Art One was the most responsive and had the best understanding of the problem we were facing,” said Copperleaf CTO Stan Coleman. “They were more responsive than the other vendors we spoke to, their rates were reasonable, and they were totally professional.” They hired Art One to handle all UI localization and product marketing translation for end users in French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese, gradually adding more languages as their business expanded to new foreign markets.

Results & Impact

Art One Translations is a consistently reliable technical translation service provider, enabling Copperleaf’s global business expansion into high-value international markets and adding revenue worth millions of dollars.

“They really shortened our release cycle from a process that took months to a week at most,” Stan explained. “They translate UI and all the critical UI bits like the tooltips, hints, menus, prompts – anything the user works with needs to get translated. We’re talking tens of thousands of strings of code. It would have been difficult to maintain without having a reliable translation service.

“We look at Art One’s value in terms of their professionalism and response times,” Laura added. “As Copperleaf has grown, we have much more for them to translate in multiple languages, but they always deliver on time and on budget.”

The collaboration with Art One Translations yielded significant benefits for Copperleaf Technologies. Their expanded global reach allowed them to tap into new markets and attract a broader audience.

High-quality translations in multiple languages enhanced customer experiences, as clients worldwide received clear, precise information, leading to higher satisfaction.

Streamlined communication with international clients and partners facilitated smoother project implementations. Additionally, Copperleaf’s competitive edge in the global market was strengthened, and adherence to local regulations and cultural norms was assured, leading to more effective software localization and greater success in diverse regions.
