SPECIALIST TRANSLATORS
At the core of quality is accuracy. We start by hiring the best. Our recruitment standards are more rigorous than the EN 15038:2006. Below are our requirements:
- Native speaker of the target language with near-native knowledge of the source language
- Minimum of one college degree
- At least 5 years’ experience as a full-time dedicated translator or editor
- High proficiency and proven expertise and experience in specialized fields of translation
- Success at our proprietary industry-specific translation-skills, technology and customer service tests
To us, our translators are more than just translators; they are close colleagues with whom we have been working daily for years – in some cases, for decades.
EXPERIENCED TEAM
We are a medium-sized company. Most members of our team carry specialized skills with different types of expertise, allowing us to handle a broad range of projects to meet your needs. The average experience of a team member is over 11 years.
STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
In our industry, technology dictates our ability to perform four functions to various file types: receive, analyze, manage and translate. Between our integrated workflow system and various translation memory programs, we have the ability to efficiently handle thousands of projects per year, and deliver them on time and ready for presentation.
PROVEN PROCESS
To consistently meet the high accuracy standards of your industry, our process is a specially designed risk management approach that minimizes the probability of a translation error reaching the final version of your deliverable. We capitalize on the synergy created by the sequential use of four key components: our translator, independent editor, translation memory and trained reviewer. With each component, and our ISO 9001:2008 and EN15038:2006 corrective and preventative actions (CAPA) procedures, the probability of unnoticed errors diminishes with each project. Not all ISO processes are the same. With over five years of certification, our quality-control system has over 100 pages in documentation and is a proven process.
