LAKA
A BIKE INSURER LIKE NO OTHER YOU’VE EVER KNOWN
Laka is a completely different kind of insurer. You don’t pay in advance just in case something ever goes wrong. Laka is a collective of optimists who look out for each other and each other’s bikes.
Having already conquered the UK market, it’s only logical that the ultimate cycling country should be next. The fact that the Dutch spend more money on bikes than any other people in Europe was a major contributing factor.
WHAT LAKA WANTED
EXCELLENT TRANSLATIONS WITH CHALLENGING DEADLINES
Towards the end of 2021, Laka was on the brink of a new adventure in the Benelux region! While searching for a reliable partner that knows their business, one of our clients recommended they try Exito Vertaalbureau. In a very short time, meetings were organised, quotations made, source texts examined, and even translations completed in next to no time from and into Dutch, Belgian-French and English.
“Exito has been a fantastic help, delivering accurate translations fast in multiple languages. In addition to translations, they also provided input with regard to content and localisation for the various areas. Thanks, Exito! ”

THE APPROACH
THE IMPORTANCE OF PERMANENT PARTNERSHIPS WITH NATIVE SPEAKERS
Orders with short, tight deadlines: exactly the kind of situation in which you want to do your most efficient and accurate work. In order to achieve a perfect result, it’s crucial to have a network of specialised translators you can rely on. Whether it’s sentence construction, terminology or having a good understanding of a text or being able to trust that any errors in the source text will be flagged and having the utmost flexibility when necessary. At Exito, we’re happy that we can rely on our partners, time after time. And that enables us to provide our clients with the quality that in turn makes them happy.
THE RESULT
TRANSLATIONS STRENGTHEN LAKA’S INTERNATIONAL POSITIONING
Exito carried out a lot of translating work for Laka in the last quarter of 2021 and the first of 2022. That was our modest contribution to the launch of Laka in the Netherlands and Belgium. In addition to customer journey, policy terms and conditions and legal documents, we translated web content and Laka’s new app. Later, this was expanded to include such documents as General Terms and Conditions and Privacy Statement.
It’s great to be involved in the continued internationalisation of this professional and genuinely nice group of people with their unique vision in the field of bikes!
