1. The Context: Knowledge Should Have No Borders

AXA Engineers is a leading educational institution providing course materials, research updates, and enrollment information to aspiring engineers. In the competitive world of international education, accessibility is key.

⚠️ La Déconnexion

While engineering principles are universal, the language of instruction is often a barrier.

  • The Discovery Gap: A brilliant student in Tokyo searching for "Engineering Scholarship" in Japanese (工学奨学金) would never find AXA's English-only admissions page.
  • The Missed Enrollment: International students often hesitate to apply if they cannot fully understand the syllabus or prerequisites. By not speaking their language during the research phase, AXA was losing them to local competitors.

2. The Challenge: Academic SEO at Scale

Translating a college website is uniquely difficult because it involves complex academic terminology and constantly changing course data.

A. The "Course Catalog" Indexing Problem

AXA needed more than just a homepage translation. They needed their entire course catalog indexed.

⚠️ Le problème : Many translation tools use "Overlay" technology that Google can't see. This meant that while a user might see the page in Spanish, Google still indexed it as English.
✅ Le besoin : Ils avaient besoin Rendu côté serveur so that searches for specific terms like "Civil Engineering Syllabus" in Spanish would land directly on the correct page.

B. The Terminology Risk

Academic integrity is non-negotiable.

⚠️ Le risque : Mistranslating "Bachelor of Science"ou "Credit Hours" could confuse students and damage the institution's reputation.
✅ The Solution: They needed a system with Glossary Memory to ensure that faculty titles and course names remained consistent across all 8 languages.

3. The Solution: Automated Academic Infrastructure

AXA Engineers integrated Infrastructure SEO de MultiLipi to automate their global outreach.

🌏 Unlocked: The Asian & Eastern European Markets

The traffic breakdown was startling. The demand wasn't coming from Western Europe; it was coming from high-growth engineering hubs.

🇯🇵 🇰🇷 East Asian Surge

Japanese (7,730 Views)et Korean (6,229 Views) became top traffic sources.

This suggests a massive, previously untapped demand for Western engineering education in these tech-forward nations.

🇵🇱 🇷🇴 Eastern European Connection
