What it means in practice
- Even for the home market a Belgian manufacturer needs instructions in two or three languages, so translation savings are highest here.
How TARGA helps
- Set Belgium among the delivery countries of a serial number and TARGA warns you if a mandatory language is missing (Dutch, French).
- The manual is composed for the configuration of each serial number and translated with AI plus human review, using your glossary.
- The QR page picks the language from the visitor's browser and says whether it shows the original or a translation.
- Published versions stay online for at least 10 years, and paper copy requests arrive with their one-month deadline.
