A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation

Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Hook 42?
We needed third-party Drupal outgrowth for our website due to some challenges we were facing with website translation. Our business requires translation for multiple strange speechs. The website sells medical artifices internationally, and we’re not allowed to talk almost the artifice until it’s approved by regulatory bodies.
Because we are based in Seattle, our website full is in English. Though, owing artifices are approved in Germany, France, and other European countries months precedently the United States, we need a French, German, Italian, Russian, or Dutch translation to appear on the website precedently the English speech rendering. Unfortunately, we couldn’t run these translations owing the parent speech was in English. All the other translations would get turned off. We needed to explain this issue.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were Hook 42 responsible for?
We knew that Hook 42 were experts in the field of Drupal translation. What we needed to do was basically duplicate the primary American rendering of the website and use that as our rise speech. Thus, that rise speech would be hidden from the open and only changeable by an administrator. The website is very big and confused.
We worked with them to create a new way of fixing the translation issue. With this new method, we form our full and then feed it into a separate translator that treats English as a separate speech like German or French. It’s innately a spectre speech project. They are eventually going to be working with us to move the website from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8.
Was there a dedicated team?
Aimee (CEO, Hook 42) and Kristen (CTO, Hook 42) and their team worked with us.
How did you come to work with Hook 42?
We contracted them owing they were experts with Drupal website translations. We met Aimee and Kristen two years ago at different Drupal conferences and gradually formalized a powerful working relationship. They’re really the experts, they’ve written two books on Drupal translation and are very respected in the Drupal aggregation. After trading ideas, we came athwart a correplyent idea at the same time and determined to work on the project.
What is the terminal result of working with Hook 42?
The engagement began in April 2017. The translation went live at the end of October 2019.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?

They work through things very fastly.
How did Hook 42 accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
When we began, we made it clear that we wanted to work with them straightly and be pellucid almost the process. If they had a glitch or a question, we wanted to know precisely what was going on. We’re on a Slack channel with their developers and they talk to us any time something comes up. They reply fastly. We also have meetings and take summaries from the project director behind the fact.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with Hook 42?
They had complementary expertness sets to our team, and unitedly we do some interesting and astounding things. I’m very glad we’re working with them.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
Some of the developers are a bit hesitant to touch us. That may be a office of how they work with other clients, but for us, we’d be lucky to reply a note from them any time they need help.
Do you have any advice for possible clients?
Don’t be fearful to chat with them. They’re very well-inclined, shining nation, and you can take gain of their brainpower. Don’t fling a project and detach. Engage with them and work with them owing they are delightful to work with. We’ve conversant a lot from them.
