Making Global Business Personal

Services

Translations

Electronic and printed media compose the bulk of our translation services. In order to provide the best translations available, we offer a variety of different services and turnaround times depending on each client's individual needs. This approach offers unique benefits and unsurpassed value. For example, our rush service prioritizes important documents such as press releases or urgent memos (translation within hours or just a few days, depending on length) for an additional fee. Our standard service is ideal for longer documents and includes a free check of source texts for typographical errors as an added bonus for all documents that are to be translated.

IT translations, technical translations and translation and proofreading services for additional areas including finance, business, industry, logistics and advertising help make your global business personal.

Localization and SEO Optimization

If you develop hardware or software or websites for international customers, you can increase your revenue by offering localized versions of your products and programs and the related documentation and marketing collateral. Localized and SEO-optimized versions of websites, product documentation, software menus, tutorials, help files and dialogs also lower support costs because end users generally have fewer questions when presented with content written in their native language.

Copyediting and Proofreading

Whether the text is monolingual or a translation from or into German or English, we have the skills to help you deliver perfect communications.

Have you ever developed a product pitch or an advertising slogan for a foreign market? Are you responsible for creating marketing copy directed at a broad, international audience? Often these phrases only comprise a few words. Their impact, however, is tremendous. As a professional, you know that every language has its own nuances, its own minute details that can make or break an advertising campaign. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone you can call who understands the market you are targeting? Someone who will give you honest feedback on your ideas and help you avoid making the linguistic faux pas so common in multilingual marketing copy today? For us, it only takes a minute to review a headline and offer suggestions for improvement. For many of our customers, however, this service is priceless.

For larger documents, in addition to proofreading our own work, we also offer copyediting and proofreading services for printed and electronic media created by third parties. In copyediting, native speakers proofread electronic and printed texts and offer suggestions for clearer sentence structure, more precise formulations, grammar improvement, vocabulary adjustment and the general "feeling" of the text. We also offer suggestions for the improvement of the tone of the text based upon whom the text is addressing. When proofreading we correct errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation and point out terminology issues.

 We can provide feedback in electronic or printed form. We can proofread a variety of formats such as MS Office, OpenOffice, Adobe InDesign, .pdf or .html. We also offer free telephone consultation throughout the project life cycle.

Here are some examples of how we have helped our clients in the past: 
  • Proofreading company and brand slogans and reviewing their impact on the relevant local markets
  • Copyediting advertisements, marketing brochures, white papers and technical documentation
  • Proofreading and editing corporate websites
  • Proofreading fiction and non-fiction books
  • Proofreading corporate communications, legal contracts, balance sheets and annual reports
  • Comparing the source language originals with the target language translations and checking for consistent formatting and terminology, unit conversions, style, grammar, mechanics and punctuation
  • Copyediting and proofreading service performed by an English-only editor from a target audience perspective
