Translation volumes

New computer software used in our company is more efficient when applied to large text volumes, not less than 50 pages. Results are even better with larger text volumes, namely 200 pages or more. Regarding the fact that costs and time spent on translation can be lowered due to repeated use of previous texts of the same customer we are interested in long term partnership with each of our customers. What is mostly important with the help of modern technologies our customers get significant discounts for translation of repetitive segments.

Document formats

We take for translation printed originals as well as documents in almost any electronic format:

• ANSI/ASCII/Unicode text for Windows
• Apple Macintosh text

 After the translation process is completed you receive the documents in the same electronic format as the original one (or any other at your convenience).

Software

All translations are implemented basing on Transit computer-aided Translation Memory system developed by STAR Group and efficiently applied in large technical translation projects. Our customers benefit from using Transit software in the following ways:

• Terminology consistancy both within the same order and several orders of the same topic in case of long term cooperation;
• Highest translation quality;
• Costs reduction for further translations of texts of the same topic due to discounts for repeated segments;
• Costs and time reduction of document formatting after translation.

For customer convenience we can also use other companies software if it makes the translation process faster, reduces costs and increases the quality for individual customer reasons.
