The Belgian and European construction market is multilingual. Anyone selling in Flanders, Wallonia and beyond needs datasheets and web content in Dutch, French, English and often German. Maintaining that by hand is a recipe for inconsistency.
Why multilingual is so error-prone
With a per-file translation approach, it quickly goes wrong: the Dutch datasheet is updated, the French one is not, and the German version dates from last year. For technical construction products, where standards and values must be exactly correct, that is unacceptable.
One source, all languages side by side
PimLayer manages the product data language-independently. Per product you see all languages clearly side by side, so you immediately know what still needs translating. Technical values that are language-independent, such as a performance value, only need to be entered once; they apply immediately to every language.
- Translations stay linked to the product
- Language-independent values are not managed twice
- Datasheets and web content are generated automatically per language
- On a change, every language stays consistent
Multilingual datasheets, automatically
The biggest gain is in publishing: PimLayer generates print-ready datasheets in every language from the same source, optionally with a different logo per market or brand. One action, and the right datasheet rolls out for every language and every channel.
This way multilingualism becomes a strength instead of a burden. And with onboarding included and local service in Dutch and French, you are usually operational within a month.
