Get expert help scaling translation
Translating into three languages is manageable.
Scaling to 15 or more with quality, compliance, and budget control?
That’s when most organizations realize they need strategic guidance.
We help you build sustainable localization operations without hiring a full-time team.
Sound familiar?
No clear Picture of what you're spending
Translation costs are spread across departments, vendors, and project types. There’s no consolidated view of spend, no way to forecast, and no baseline to improve against.
Scaling to new markets without a plan
You need to expand but don't know which languages to prioritize, what it will cost, or whether your current process can handle the volume. You’re starting from scratch with every market entry.
No one is focused on localization
Someone is juggling translation coordination on top of their actual job. There’s no localization manager, no consistent process, and no one accountable for quality or cost.
What we do
We provide strategic consulting and hands-on support to help you:
Build quality and compliance into your translation process
Make smart decisions about which languages and markets to enter
Control costs while scaling internationally
Get your team set up to manage localization effectively
Whether you need a one-time assessment or ongoing support, we tailor our approach to your situation.
Documented and audit-ready by default
Every process we design is documented with a clear record of the decisions made and the rationale given. The deliverables are structured to support review by your compliance team, your auditors, or the next person who inherits the work.
Audit-ready translations aren’t an optional extra. They’re how we work.
A logical path forward
Our consulting services follow the natural progression of building a localization function. You can start at any stage.
PLAN
Market expansion strategy
Before committing to new markets, you need a language strategy grounded in your business objectives, regulatory requirements, and realistic budget.
Prioritize languages based on market opportunity and regulatory need
Model costs across markets and content volumes
Map regulatory requirements per market (MDR, BfArM, ANSM, FDA, fintech/AML)
Define a phased expansion roadmap
Assess your current vendor setup against expansion needs
BUILD
Internal localization capability
For teams building their own localization infrastructure: TMS selection, CMS and API integration, workflow automation, and quality frameworks, designed and implemented for your content types and team structure.
Select and configure the right TMS for your volume and workflow
Set up CMS and API integrations for continuous localization
Design automation pipelines eliminating manual file handling
Build terminology governance and translation memory structure
Create quality frameworks and style guides for internal teams
OUTSOURCE

You have recurring translation needs and no dedicated localization manager. We handle vendor coordination, quality oversight, terminology governance, and reporting on an ongoing basis.
Single point of accountability for all translation operations
Vendor selection, briefing, and quality control
Terminology and translation memory maintenance
Monthly quality and cost reporting
Escalation handling and issue resolution

Why ArtLingua
Practical, not theoretical
We’ve operated a translation service provider in specialist and regulated industries for over 25 years. Our consulting recommendations are grounded in what we know works operationally.
Direct access to expertise
Our team is small and specialized. The same people who scope your project are the ones who deliver it.
Independent advice
Using our consulting services doesn’t oblige you to use ArtLingua for translation. We recommend the right approach for your situation, whether that means our services, your current vendors, or building your internal capability.
Audit-ready by default
Every strategy, workflow, and framework we deliver is documented and structured to produce evidence your auditors or compliance teams will accept.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between your consulting and just hiring a translation agency?
A translation agency delivers translations. We help you decide which languages to prioritize, which tools to use, how to structure your process, and how to manage vendors, whether or not those vendors are ArtLingua. Consulting addresses the infrastructure and strategy around translation, not just the translations themselves.
Do I need to use ArtLingua's translation services if I engage you for consulting?
No. Our consulting services are independent of our translation services. If your current vendor relationships are working, we help you optimize them. If you want to transition to ArtLingua, we can facilitate that, but it's not a requirement.
What does the localization management service include in practice?
We handle vendor coordination, quality oversight, terminology governance, and monthly reporting on an ongoing basis, giving you the accountability of a dedicated localization manager without a full-time hire.
How long does the consulting process take?
Our PLAN service typically runs for 4 to 6 weeks. BUILD runs for 6 to 12 weeks depending on complexity. Localization Management is an ongoing monthly arrangement with no fixed end date.
We're scaling our product or platform internationally. Where do we start?
The right starting point depends on where your process is currently creating the most friction. If you have no language strategy yet, PLAN helps you define which markets to prioritize and what it will cost. If you have a strategy but no infrastructure, BUILD covers TMS selection, workflow automation, and tool integration. If you need someone to manage ongoing translation operations, Localization Management handles that on a monthly basis. A 30-minute conversation is usually enough to identify the right fit for you.
