Working with GLIM on your IT and telecoms projects
- Contractual confidentiality. Every project is covered by a non-disclosure agreement signed with GLIM and passed on to everyone involved in the file. We also sign your own NDA when your procedures require it.
- Named contributors. The translators, revisers and project manager assigned to your files are bound by the same clauses. No one accesses your documents without being contractually bound to do so.
- Controlled hosting. Your files are transferred and stored in our professional environments, never on consumer file-sharing services, and are deleted at the end of the retention period agreed with you.
- ISO 17100 traceability. The standard requires documenting who works on a file, at which stage and with which qualifications. Our certification no. FR099229-1, issued by Bureau Veritas, is audited periodically: every project is traceable and auditable.
- Your language assets belong to you. Translation memories and glossaries built on your projects can be returned to you at any time, in a standard format.

Types of IT documents we translate
- Software interfaces: a complex and strategic process that involves adapting software, mobile applications or web platforms to the linguistic, cultural and technical specificities of a target market.
- Technical specifications: an essential step in ensuring successful collaboration between multilingual teams, whether they are developers, project managers or clients, located in different countries.
- Websites: we combine linguistic expertise and in-depth knowledge of technical constraints to guarantee flawless translation directly in the back office.
- E-learning modules: we translate not only written texts, but also voice-over scripts, subtitles, captions, and graphics embedded in your modules. We work directly on the source files (.PPT, .SCORM, .HTML5, .xAPI) to ensure the integrity of the layout and functionality.
In the field of new technologies, one word is not interchangeable with another. The use of precise technical terminology is vital for the functionality and safety of a product.
Translating “source code” as “source code” or ‘driver’ as “driver” is not only a semantic error, it is a technical error that can render a document incomprehensible.
Mastery of terminology is not simply an asset; it is a professional requirement for translators specializing in IT. It guarantees technical accuracy, brand consistency, and the credibility of the innovations proposed.
To be qualified in computer translation, a translator must possess certain specific skills:
-
In-depth knowledge of the sector: An IT translator must not only be comfortable with general IT concepts (hardware, software, networks, cybersecurity, etc.), but also be able to specialize in niche areas such as AI, cloud computing, blockchain, or telecommunications.
-
Mastery of terminology: IT terminology evolves very quickly. Translators must constantly stay up to date on new acronyms, emerging technologies, and terms specific to each subdomain.
-
Understanding of code and file formats: Must be able to work directly on resource files (such as .xml, .json, .strings) without altering the code. Must also be comfortable with HTML tags and other file structures used for the web and applications.
