Background

Industry: Power & Energy Timeline: 3 months Languages: Chinese, English, Arabic Services: Standards translation, SCL documentation, As-built packages, etc.

The client operates in the power and energy value chain—exporting equipment, executing EPC packages, or replicating proven O&M models overseas. The program centers on “IEC 61850 Substation Engineering Documentation” with strict technical standards and delivery timelines.

An EPC contractor bidding on overseas digital substation projects needed IEC 61850 design notes, SCL annotations, commissioning records and as-built docs in English and Arabic for owner and consultant review.

Linguist assigned industry linguists, reviewers and a dedicated PM. Scope included Standards translation, SCL documentation, As-built packages, etc.. Within 3 months, we delivered and QA’d 3 languages—achieving: Multilingual bid and as-built docs passed owner technical review on first submission

Project challenges

  • Standard citations

    IEC 61850 clause references must not be mistranslated.

  • SCL/XML structure

    Configuration docs must preserve LN and DO naming.

  • Commissioning terms

    GOOSE/SV/MMS protocol terminology per industry usage.

  • Tight bid window

    Technical and commercial bids in parallel—staggered rush delivery.

Our approach

Phased delivery balancing quality, compliance and timeline.
