Quality

We don’t just talk about quality – we deliver it

Translations combine expert knowledge, technical translation expertise and a very good feel for language. Only with these tools can a text be translated appropriately to ensure it hits the right note – which is a very challenging task.

However, we hear from a lot of our clients that we have risen to this challenge and satisfied their expectations again and again, and that our language services are of the highest standard.

We would love the opportunity to demonstrate these high quality standards on your project.

Translation Memory

When translator and technology cooperate

Not every text is a literary masterpiece – the majority are functional texts, with recurring phrases and a very specific style of language.

So that our translators can concentrate on the part of the translation that requires human finesse, they use the CAT tool memoQ to provide the framework.

memoQ is a translation memory system (TMS) that allows texts to be translated more consistently. During the translation process, the entire document is stored in the TMS. Repetitions of sentences or entire segments are displayed automatically and can be used again if the translator considers it appropriate.

In order to achieve a high degree of precision and efficiency, we create an individual translation memory for each of our clients. This ensures consistent use of terminology – not only within a single text, but across all the documents we translate for you over our time working together.

But we are also flexible, and will be happy to use other tools for your order as long as they satisfy our quality standards.

Terminology Management

Dissolving agglomerates and coalescing droplets

Not everyone understands what that means. But if you work in the chemicals industry, you would use ‘agglomerate’ for ‘build-up’ and ‘coalesce’ instead of ‘join’. After all, using specialist vocabulary correctly is how you demonstrate your professional expertise.

Our company-specific glossaries, individual terminology lists and specialist databases help us to ensure that your texts use consistent corporate wording.

This means that technical terms and other phrases coined within your company are translated exactly the way you want – not using synonyms.

We can add existing company-specific terminology or glossaries to a database using the online terminology management function in our tool, memoQ, or we can build a database from scratch and cultivate it as we go along. Furthermore, we can also clean up and bring consistency to any terminology inventories you already have.

The terminology management tool allows us to enter the source, language direction, field, project and definition of a (new) term.

Wir wählen unsere Übersetzer anhand strenger Kriterien aus. Dazu gehören u. a. Qualifikation, Berufserfahrung und Referenzen. Auch die von ihnen eingesetzten technischen Hilfsmittel spielen bei der Bewertung eine Rolle.

Wenn die formalen Kriterien erfüllt sind, begleiten unsere erfahrenen Kollegen und Kolleginnen das neue Teammitglied über längere Zeit und lernen so die Spezialisierung eines jeden Übersetzers detailliert kennen.

So wissen wir genau, wer am besten für Ihren Auftrag geeignet ist.
