Below are some of the most common questions that are asked when trying to decide on which translation company to use:
Why should I use a translation company instead of doing the translation myself online or getting my neighbor who speaks a few languages to do it?
Transimpex will:
• Maintain a comprehensive subject-area-specific linguist database, so that it can select for your project one or more translators, revisers and/or editors as well as consultants in or from the target language country, who have the corresponding subject-related education, professional background, experience and credentials.
• Consult with you, the client, to make sure that the level and quality of language in your translated documents will be appropriate for the target audience and culture.
• Assign to your specific project one or more qualified professionals with appropriate technical, scientific, legal or other background AND proven language qualifications and translation and/or editing skills.
• Localize your document for the target countries because English in the U.S.A., Canada or India, or French in Paris, Quebec or N’Djamena can differ dramatically.
• Assemble and coordinate a well-qualified team to handle even large projects quickly and efficiently.
• Edit and proofread the final translation to ensure quality, accuracy and consistency by reviewing the translators’ work, fixing errors, omissions or oversights, while matching the copy to the audience where appropriate (The Operator instructions for the consumer may have to differ in style from those for the engineer).
• Produce final copy in the requested desktop format and layout, taking into consideration font, operating systems (PC or MAC) and other specifications (and proofread again).
• Deliver a high-quality finished product that achieves its goal: Help sell your product overseas through advertising and brochures; teach foreign personnel how to use your equipment through well-translated manuals; settle legal differences, reflect contract language as clearly or as obscurely as the original; clarify disputed points in a patent; adopt a child; or thank friends for their hospitality abroad.
