TranslateNOW: A Comprehensive Maximo Translation Solution for Expanding Teams 
Why relying solely on Maximo’s native translation features may be holding your global deployment back.

IBM Maximo is an industry-leading enterprise asset management (EAM) platform with powerful capabilities for organizations managing assets, work orders, and maintenance across the globe. And while Maximo includes basic translation features out of the box, many organizations quickly discover that these native tools fall short when it comes to managing complex, multi-language deployments at scale. TranslateNOW by Aquitas Solutions, can help bridge this gap.

The Basics: What Maximo Offers Out of the Box
Out of the box, IBM Maximo supports multiple languages through language packs that enable a translated user interface (UI) for supported locales. These features are included:

  • Switching UI languages for standard fields
  • Basic user experience localization
  • Deployments in a single or limited number of languages


While this functionality may seem comprehensive, these limitations become more obvious as your workforce and facilities expand. Without an enhancement like TranslateNOW, all user-generated text fields will only be visible and saved in the technician’s original language. This means that all maintenance notes, work order history, and guidance saved by an individual lose all value if another team member doesn’t speak or read in the same native language.

Bottom Line: It’s About More Than Just Language
Successful global Maximo deployments require more than just UI updates. It’s about enabling teams across cultures and regions to work efficiently, safely, and consistently. While Maximo’s out-of-the-box functionality gets you part of the way there, TranslateNOW ensures you can go the distance.
