Produce and sell successfully
Industry plays a central role in nearly every country in the world when it comes to jobs and economic output. The differences are sometimes enormous: while some countries focus primarily on processing raw materials, others develop and manufacture high-tech products. The boundaries between “traditional” heavy industry and the skilled trades sector on one side and the service sector on the other are sometimes fluid. After all, it’s often no longer just about the pure manufacturing of products, but also about offering (software) solutions, know-how and the associated service.
Some industries and companies are far more than just employers and taxpayers — they represent part of a country’s history and culture. What would Germany be, for example, without its automotive industry?
Hardly any sector is as internationally networked and globally interconnected as industry. How far these connections and dependencies go becomes especially clear when there’s a bottleneck somewhere in a supply chain.
That’s why industry is always closely linked to the topic of language and translation. Whether it’s supply contracts or cooperation agreements, manuals, safety data sheets, product packaging or advertising copy — they all need to be translated and adapted to the respective production sites and target markets. The translations must meet the same industry standards as the production equipment and products.
In the following, we would therefore like to introduce you to various countries and their core industries. We will of course also address the topic of language and what needs to be considered in these countries.
