Is anyone keeping an eye on the timeline?

If one project manager is assigned to manage the translation of your content, that means someone is accountable for meeting your release schedule. Ideally, the project manager should provide status reports so significant issues and risks can be caught and fixed before they escalate. This person should have an understanding of the entire scope of the project and ask questions regarding your future needs.

For example, if the project manager knows upfront that your manual needs to be revised quarterly; the whole file could be put into a database. Then, when future changes need to be made, only the specific updates that need to be translated would be revisited. The other option, translating the entire manual every quarter not only wastes time and money, but it could result in unnecessary errors.
