Prospecting for new clients for your translation/transcreation services? One technique is to identify a company, product or service that you find interesting, technically within your scope and worthy of better promotion in your target language.
Here's an example of how to add a page to your public portfolio.
Here is the link to the original (in French) concerning a product that I find fascinating. The company is called
SBS Interactive, the product is called
Vis-On and the page I have chosen to translate and adapt is headed
VIS-On : visualiser le tel que construit.
Here is my version:

Ship inspections can be difficult to organise, first because
most vessels are seldom accessible and second because inspections take time. They
are nevertheless essential for training, to plan and prepare maintenance and
other works and to show vessels to potential clients.
SBS Interactive developed the VIS-On
® enhanced
visualisation system to make ships directly accessible for online inspection and interaction.
SBS Interactive applications like VIS-On® save users
time and money.
Benefits
· Remotely inspect ships and shipboard spaces
using enhanced visualisation.
· Train personnel to follow standard procedures.

tasks as necessary.
· Do maintenance while compiling user-friendly manuals.
· Prepare quotes by giving subcontractors direct
remote access to relevant work spaces.

preparing for emergencies.
· Promote products and know-how.
· Compile visual inventories.
See equipment and spaces “as built”

Notes
- Autre possibilité pour le titre: VIS -On: See it “as built”
- Orthographe et ponctuation (surtout des listes) selon mes préférences personnelles. Bien entendu, d’autres préférences sont possibles.
- À supposer que SBS utilise « virtualisation enrichie » parce que c’est n’est pas la même chose que la « réalité virtuelle », j’ai traduit par « enhanced visualisation » plutôt que « virtual reality ».
- Dans "Maintenir en préparant l’intervention et en ajoutant des tâches", l'expression "en ajoutant des tâches" ne me semble pas très clair. Pourrait-on clarifier ou donner un exemple?
- CAMM & EDM: à confirmer.
- ‘Tasks’, ou bien ‘jobs’ ? Pourrait-on clarifier ou donner un exemple?
