Open communication expands the borders to business success. You need translated documents appropriate to the market (localized) in which you are doing business. Our translators have native-level fluency in both the source and target languages, possess a current cultural understanding of the language and localized region, a field-specific knowledge of the text, and full comprehension of the legal and professional formatting standards required. Localization is more than translation; it includes translation and other elements such as:

• Conversions of currency/units of measure
• Layout adaptations
• Review of graphics for cultural sensitivities
• Date, address, and phone number formats
• Expressions & idioms

How the document looks is just as important as the content. Afterall, your design team took great care to develop your document; thus, the translated piece requires the same care. Going beyond pure text formatting, our experts provide special formatting considerations including:

• Layout adjustments accommodating text expansion
• Text replacement in non-editable graphs, tables, graphics
• Design and layout adjustments for right-to-left languages
• Support of specialized fonts/typefaces

Our language translation services utilize translation memory technology as well as Terminology Management software. Translation memory refers to a linguistic database that captures and saves repetitive phrases and previously translated texts for future use. It enables our teams to work faster and maintain consistency while keeping the cost of your translation projects within budget by eliminating the need to re-translate repetitive phrases and re-utilizing previously translated texts. It is important to note that this technology does not replace human translators; it simply augments translators’ skills to provide faster and more accurate translations. Our technology supports:
