Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers regarding our translation process, turnaround times, printing technology, and technical documentation.

We offer translation services for over 42 different languages. There are specific languages that are more in demand than others: Spanish (South American, Mexican and Castilian), Brazilian Portuguese, French (Canadian and Parisian), other European languages (Portuguese, German, Italian, Ducth, Finnish, Swedish, Russian) and Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean) but we are in no way limited to these.

The cost of a project is based on its size, subject material and target language. Cost is determined by a word count. The more words a project contains, the less expensive the cost of each translated word becomes. The easiest way to find out how much your project will cost is to submit it for a free quotation. We will then provide you with a detailed costing- charges, turnaround time and expected version(s) of your finished project. This is by no means the final cost as we take your budget into account. A review can be carried out to come to a mutually beneficial agreement for both parties.

Turnaround time is directly related to the project’s subject and the amount of words. A project that requires research on the translator’s part due to the technical-specific nature of the material will take longer to complete than a translation of general material. Translation of 3000 words or less will generally take three days. A project of 10 000 words is typically completed in a week or less. This does not include the processing for additional steps. In urgent cases, we will mobilise our resources to accommodate your request whenever possible.

A review phase by your distributor is encouraged upon the submission of your initial translation proof. The amount of time needed for the review is established between the project manager and the client. Any request for changes made by the distributor will be free of charge. If there are any differences in opinion with the distributors, our translators will provide a detailed explanation so that the client will understand the differences in meaning. Ultimately, we will abide by the clients’ decisions.

We willingly enter into contracts that define confidential information and outline the manner in which the client would like such information handled. As a rule, the information would only be exposed to translators and staff on a need-to-know basis. This information is also kept separate from the material of other clients. Any confidential information will be returned upon the request of the client.

The rules and regulations vary from country to country and are industry specific. For example, some countries mandate that the foreign version be equal to that of the English in word, presentation and type size. Such information is best received directly from the government of the country you wish to export to. Additional information may be retrieved at no cost over the internet and at your public library.

Translation of your information should be an integral part of your company’s exports marketing strategy. Translation improves business relations and eliminates confusion. In addition, translation of your company’s material proves your commitment to developing a long-term relationship with international customers. Your translated version should be prepared before you send your products abroad so allow for the time and resources to accomplish this.

We invest a lot of time and money in maintaining a quality network of interpreters, translators, proofreaders and desktop publishers. We are therefore able to readily assign a project according to the specialisation that your literature calls for. The orchestration of the many job tasks involved in the production of translation projects is time-consuming and most other companies do not have the budget or the time to carry these out internally.

The World Wide Web enables people from all over the world to access information with the click of a mouse button. Translation of a company’s website is key to market expansion and lends an edge over the competition. Prospective customers not only receive instant information about your company but also a heightened awareness and understanding of your products and services. In addition, internationalisation of websites improves customer satisfaction and services, solidifying your place in the global market.

By using your existing engineering documents, product specifications, and marketing materials, we minimise time spent with your SMEs. We also save you time and money by utilising our experience in creating a broad range of publications.
Our flexible services allow you to have anything from a one-page instruction sheet to a complete service manual. This allows you to have as much or as little documentation as your project budget will allow. We also use your expertise to analyse your existing documentation and recommend a solution to create a much more concise and user-centred manual. And because we conduct most of our business off-site through the internet, you are not burdened with overhead costs.

We offer translation services for over 42 different languages. There are specific languages that are more in demand than others: Spanish (South American, Mexican and Castilian), Brazilian Portuguese, French (Canadian and Parisian), other European languages (Portuguese, German, Italian, Ducth, Finnish, Swedish, Russian) and Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean) but we are in no way limited to these.

Because of our broad knowledge of computer software and because we employ writers with significant experience in several engineering disciplines, we make it easy (translates as quicker) to document your product. Using various usability test techniques, we measure the usability of the content we have created for your product. The immediate result of usability testing is a list of specific and general recommendations for improving the software/hardware, documentation, training and/or other collateral materials provided to end users. We pride ourselves on producing draft copy that is already a ‘coherent document’ ready to be reviewed by your staff.

CMYK stands for the ink colours- Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. These are the four process colours used in offset printing. RGB refers to the colours of light- Red, Green and Blue. All colours in computer monitors are made using the RGB system. Hence, if the data is created using the RGB format, it needs to be converted to CMYK for offset printing purposes. Spot colour is a special ink that normally comes with a pantone code. When it comes to consistency, spot colour is superior. Yet, when there are too many spot colours involved, it becomes pricey. Here, process colour is the next best alternative.

Be it small or large quantities, we are more than happy to accommodate accordingly. As a matter of fact, aside from large scale sheets and web-fed offset printing, we have the option of digital printing which cater for those orders of less than 500pcs. It is a ‘Print on Demand’ concept. We provide variable data and image printing as well. This option goes well with the personalised marketing strategy.
