- SAE Glossary: Our base glossary includes all terms from the official Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) glossary, ensuring we speak the language of engineering standards across all target markets.
- IATE: We leverage resources like IATE (Interactive Terminology for Europe), the EU’s terminology management system, to ensure consistency with European institutional standards.
Furthermore, we possess deep expertise in translating documentation related to the rapidly evolving electronic systems in modern vehicles:
- ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems): From AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking) to LKA (Lane Keep Assist), we accurately manage the proliferation of complex acronyms paving the way for autonomous driving.
- DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes): We ensure that critical diagnostic codes are translated with absolute precision, protecting technicians and end-users from potential errors.
