Requirements
Having entered the fast-paced world of rally racing, Hyundai needed an equally fast-paced translation service. Rally-specific material, such as website content and press releases, needed to be translated from English into German and Spanish and needed to be available to readers within hours of the rally’s completion. Hyundai needed a trustworthy translation/review team to be on call for these rally weekends.
