Linguistic Review & Consultancy

Translation Review

Proper review is a crucial step to meet the highest quality standards. We have put in place our own quality control, which guarantees all translations are proofread by a second linguist before delivery. However, for a premium service we can go into different review levels as deep as you require, from essential proofreading to thorough checking of every single sentence against its original counterpart.

Independent Review

When you want to check a translation from another vendor, just let us know. We are the ideal, flexible and competent contractor for your independent review needs.

Linguistic Consultancy

If you regularly produce literature about your field or market your own software products in Spanish, we can review their orthotypography and style for you, to make sure the right image of your company is conveyed upon publication, or we may build a style guide that your writers or hired freelance translators may use as the best tool to achieve consistency.

Translation Memory Handling

Translation Memory Handling

We are experts in all the processes involved when working with TMs, from aligning or analyzing to pre-translating, cleaning, converting material, and maintaining TM files. And we are experienced in most of the TM systems used in the market, especially Trados.

Review of text coming from Translation Memories

Pre-translated text does not always come from a trusted source. Be sure your leveraged text is free of technical problems, obsolete terminology, wrong wording, etc. We can take care of it.

Naturalization of Machine Translation text

You may invest a low amount of your budget to guarantee a basic understandability of texts quickly produced by those free, popular "translators" available on the Web, or refine the results presented by larger automatic translation systems you might already own.

Preparing, planning, setting up, allocating resources... Bringing a project to a successful conclusion is not exactly the easiest task. You need to be sure everything is going on smoothly, it is not a game.

Not enough yet? Picture this: you can now forget about splitting your project, we deal internally with any necessary linguistic update at DTP time. Your level of attention to us is zero. We have the experience to do the technical work for you using PageMaker, FrameMaker, and Adobe Acrobat.

Glossary & Terminology Management

Glossaries and Terminology lists

A product needs to be terminologically consistent across its versions. This is key to satisfy and attract users with an easier and logical product, and in turn benefits your brand's prestige. To achieve this goal, you'll find no better tools than the monolingual or bilingual lists that we can produce for you.
