As a major international event, it has put forward strict requirements for language-service tasks. As the 7th CWG had the highest number of medals in history, the pressure for compilation manuscript was large. Despite the fact that it would be late at night when the editors completed Chinese manuscripts, the project team from GTCOM had to follow the requirement that the English manuscripts should be published within two hours after the Chinese manuscripts were released. All translation tasks had to be completed on time and with excellent quality. The project team members worked closely in order to complete each day's tasks by 5 a.m., and started another busy day after two to three hours of rest. Throughout the 10-day event, the project team provided 24/7 translation service, completing the translation and editing of more than 800 manuscripts and at least 6,000 pictures so that people from all over the world could follow the CWG and enjoy the outstanding performances.
