Specialised Translation
Translation Memory
Your unique translation memory is a database compiled by our industry leading software and constantly updated during the translation process.
It allows us to calculate the proportion of reoccurring text across your material.
With our system, you won’t pay double to translate the same thing twice!
That’s not all: any previously translated material will be instantly on hand for our team of professionals, which increases speed and consistency throughout your project.
- Reduces translation costs
- Increases the speed of translation
- Maintains accuracy, quality and consistency
Terminology Management
Communicating with the correct terminology in all languages is pivotal. We know how important every little detail is. Creating and updating a term base is key to ensuring quality, consistency, and precision.
Each organisation is unique and the terminology to convey your message is too. As you work with us, you will see how thorough and meticulous our translators and project managers are when it comes to cultivating your personal term base.
Most importantly, our workflow and advanced terminology management system allows your content writers or instructional designers to collaborate with us and approve all terminology. This way, we are able to provide a central resource for all your translated material.
Transcreation
Sometimes translators have to be creative to convey the meaning of a segment when a simple translation is not enough. With play on words and riddles, for example.
Localisation
Beyond translation, localisation is a case of adapting the content to the audience culturally. It addresses local idioms, cultural references, measurement units, and date formats, for instance.
Multimedia Recreation
