Expert technical translation services
Our selection procedures for technical translators and our continuous monitoring process ensure that your translation project is carried out using the best resources. Rigorous translator testing and evaluation procedures combined with careful project monitoring enable us to deliver clear, effective technical translations.
Translation Memory
Because of the repetitive nature of technical writing, translation memory is invaluable in ensuring consistency throughout your documents. A translation memory is a linguistic database that continually grows and “learns” from the translator. All previous translations are held in the translation memory and re-applied so that the same sentence never needs to be translated twice. As well as ensuring consistency across your documentation, translation memory can enable faster turnaround times and offer substantial cost savings as repeated text is charged at a reduced rate per word.
The project manager’s remit includes:
- Using translation memory to analyse supplied files and gain the optimum benefit from repetitions and matching text;
- Providing the translator with a current translation memory and any databases or glossaries relevant to the work;
- Processing files post-translation to ensure that the memory is kept fully up to date.
