European Institute of Romania Case Study

European Institute of Romania - terminology standardization and the Acquis Communautaire

158,000 pages of translation. Tight deadlines at every step. And an explicit need for language accuracy and consistency. The challenges facing the European Institute of Romania in localizing the Acquis Communautaire into Romanian were daunting.
