Basically, a translation is written text and interpreting is spoken communication. Translating is the correct term for the process of putting a text written in one language, (the source language) into written form in another language (the target language). Sight translation is the term used when a translator/interpreter reads out loud in the target language from a text written in the source language. Interpreting is saying in the target language something said in the source language.

Our turnaround time is about 1,500 words per day of finished, edited, and proofed translated text.

An electronic file is best. You can use e-mail or use our FTP site. Of course, you can also fax the text, use regular mail or bring it in person, whichever is most convenient for you.

Yes, we can translate your website and adapt it to the culture and sensibilities of the target language and country.

Electronic proofing tools are used first, then the human touch. Editing, proofing and discussion are the principal ways a document is reviewed.

The client may revise the original document as often as he/she cares to. But stopping and starting the translation will delay the process and can incur additional costs.

Yes. Software localization is highly specialized and requires knowledge of the terminology used by programmers. It is not programming. It usually entails translating the help files and links within the help files so that when clicked the link takes you to the correct location. We gladly examine and bid your project.

All translations are assigned to a project manager who organizes all aspects of the translation from beginning to end. He or she is the liaison between the client and the translator(s), making sure that translation, editing and proofing is being performed in a timely manner. If there are any changes or questions from the client the Project Manager keeps track of the requests and coordinates with the appropriate people to insure the requests are met as soon as possible. This is especially important when large and/or multi-lingual documents are being translated. The project manager is also in charge of coordinating and tracking the project when typesetting or special formatting is required. He/she makes sure all formatting issues are dealt with in all detail and in the appropriate order within the project time line, to avoid delays and to insure the product is delivered on time, every time.
