Our Translation TipsHere are some of our main tips used by our translators to increase the translation quality and efficiency, whether technical, financial, corporate, legal or marketing document or manual translation. The tips provided here always help to save money and time:

• • Sticking to the script. This is very important. It helps to achieve goals as scheduled by using easy and very concise
     language, being better prepared for design changes and leveraging a strong translation glossary as provided below
  • Being mindful of small details or little Things. No matter what type of document content they are translating, it is always
  • important for them to stick to the basics of successful content creation: a) no use of idioms, b) use of simple and shortsentences, c) use of universally understood and known words, terms and sentences
  • Leverage terminologies management. Use of specific translation glossary that is commonly used by specific type ofcompanies that store their own terminology in their own dataset. Once stored, a Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) toolwill recognise the words, terms or expression used during the translation process and translate them as stored. This createsconsistency in the translation and has specific advantages in the translation of technical documents, where this process isvery common.
  • Preparing the text for design change. Sometimes, translated text can be 20-30 percent longer than the original.Therefore, it is always important to take into consideration the potential design change in content length, font sizes, imagesformat, etc. The text expansion is extremely important when concise manuals (technical, financial or legal, etc.) aredesigned for a limited number of pages.
  • Clarity. This is facilitated by a strong communication between our client and our expert (or language service provider) ,concerning the project scope and what the client want to achieve.
