Expand your communication while improving quality and cutting costs!
Leveraging expertise and cutting-edge technology, TRADOC empowers you to meet this challenge
More than a translation service, a technology built on your history
For more than 30 years, TRADOC has translated the technical and regulatory
documentation of major industrial and healthcare groups. What sets us apart
today is not experience alone: it is a technology platform, built in-house,
that puts thirty years of validated translations to work on every new project.
One of our long-standing partners, a major player in medical imaging, has
trusted DAT for over three decades. Every document we have translated for
them — and for our other clients — is preserved, indexed, and actively
reused. Nothing is ever discarded.
Beyond keyword matching: translation memory that understands meaning
Traditional CAT tools retrieve past translations by comparing character
strings. Two sentences with the same meaning but a different wording, word
order, or phrasing are treated as unrelated — and translated from scratch.
TRADOCs platform searches its translation memory by **meaning**, not by
spelling. A previously translated sentence is retrieved even when it was
phrased differently, in a different order, or with different terms — as long
as the meaning matches. Across a memory of several tens of millions of
validated segments, spanning more than 30 languages and as many industrial
domains, this means far more matches, far less machine translation to
post-edit, and a document that reads as if it had always used your
terminology.
On projects where this memory is fully leveraged, more than 8 out of 10
memory matches are delivered to the client without any correction — a
direct measure of both translation reuse and terminology consistency.
One document, the right engine for every sentence
Not every sentence needs the same treatment. DAT's platform evaluates each segment individually and routes it to the most appropriate resource:
- **A validated match already exists** in memory → it is reused directly,
with full traceability back to its origin.
- **A close match exists** → a self-hosted AI model, run entirely on DAT's
own infrastructure, produces the translation — guided by the closest
matches found in your own memory, so the result respects your established
terminology instead of generating something generic. Because the model
runs on our servers rather than a third-party API, your content never
leaves our infrastructure at this step.
- **No match exists** → the sentence is translated by machine translation,
then queued for human post-editing.
The result is delivered as a single, coherent document, never a patchwork
of machine output bolted onto human work.
Quality control based on an industry standard, not a checklist
- **Terminology consistency** — the same source sentence, or the same term, translated differently in different places within a document is flagged automatically. This is the single most common source of inconsistency in large technical documents, and the hardest for a human reviewer to catch by eye across hundreds of pages.
- **AI-assisted linguistic review, scored against the MQM framework** —
machine-translated segments are re-examined and any issue found is
classified using Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM), the reference
standard used across the language industry: error category (omission,
addition, meaning reversal, numerical or unit mismatch, terminology that
should have stayed untranslated) and severity (minor, major, critical),
producing an auditable quality score rather than a simple pass/fail
verdict.
The review is advisory: it never modifies a translation on its own. Every
finding — with its MQM category and severity — is reported to the project
manager for validation before any correction is made. Human judgment stays in control of the final result.
A collaborative portal built for reviewers, not just translators
Linguists and reviewers work in a browser-based portal that shows, for each
segment, where the proposed translation came from and how reliable it is —
memory, AI-assisted, or machine translation — alongside quality alerts,
in-document concordance search, and terminology lookup across the full
memory. Corrections made by a reviewer are immediately reflected in memory,
so the next occurrence of the same sentence — in the same document, or in
the next project — benefits from it.
For teams who work in their own CAT environment, projects can also be
exported and re-imported in standard bilingual exchange formats, so your
preferred tools remain fully usable.
Confidentiality, by client, by design
Client memories are never mixed by default: a project can be configured so
that only your own translation history is used, with no fallback to shared
memory. Translation itself — including the AI-assisted step — always runs
on our own infrastructure, never on a third-party service. For projects
requiring the strictest confidentiality, quality review can also be
restricted to fully in-house processing on request. These are project-level
settings, confirmed before work begins, not an afterthought..
Beyond documents: extending the same memory to software content
The terminology, quality controls, and memory built for your technical
documentation are the same assets we are extending to structured content —
localization files and software strings — so that a product's interface and
its documentation stay consistent, built on a single memory rather than two
disconnected processes.
Website localization
Website localization goes beyond translation: it means making a site read
as if it had been written for its local audience in the first place —
avoiding wording that could feel foreign or out of place, and adopting the
turns of phrase that make a site feel native. This is the craft DAT brings
to your international sites.
Video Localization,
End to End
From a single video file to a fully subtitled or dubbed deliverable in 25+ languages. Our pipeline transcribes your audio, translates it through the same memory-driven engine as your written documentation, generates broadcast-ready subtitles (TV or web format), and produces natural AI voiceovers — original soundtrack preserved in the background, everything synced and timed automatically.
Because translation draws on the same memory as your manuals and technical documents, your training videos never drift into different terminology — the product name, the safety warning, the procedure step read the same way on screen as they do on paper.
- Automatic transcription and subtitle generation (SRT/ASS), TV and web-ready
- Translation into 25+ languages, consistent with your written documentation
- AI dubbing with natural multilingual voices and background audio mixing
- Built-in QA: reading-speed audits and a full linguist review workflow
AI-Assisted Technical Writing
From raw material to polished documentation
Turn engineer notes, spec sheets, and existing documents into structured, professionally formatted documentation — automatically, and on your own infrastructure.
Drop in your source material and pick a document type. The engine reads and merges everything you provide, then produces a structured draft: a clear title, an identification block, organized sections in proper prose, bulleted lists where they belong, safety warnings called out visually, and figure placeholders marking exactly where an illustration is needed. The result comes out as a formatted Word document, ready to hand to a reviewer.
What makes it trustworthy, not just fast:
- Nothing invented. The engine drafts only from what you actually provide — any number, value, or instruction it doesn't have is flagged in a dedicated gaps-to-fill section, never guessed.
- Your expertise, not a black box. Every document type — user manual, installation guide, product sheet — runs on an editable template that defines exactly how that document should be written. Domain knowledge lives in a template you control.
- Self-hosted AI. The engine runs on our own servers, not a third-party service — your source material never leaves our infrastructure.
- Built for real inputs. Attach your files as-is; the text is extracted automatically and folded into the draft alongside your notes.
From a pile of raw material to a structured, on-brand document — in hours, not days.
