SEPARATING GOOD TRANSLATION SERVICES FROM BAD ONES
Translation Services The last thing you want to happen with your documents is that the message written gets lost in translation. Enlisting the expertise of a professional Canadian Document Translation Services agency can ensure that your written documents are translated into their appropriate language, in a tone and manner that is most relevant to your specific target market. The foundation of every quality translation is the translator. But how can you tell what makes a good translator? It’s almost always recommended for you to turn to an agency, rather than an independent contractor. The reason for this is that with an agency such as LingoStar you can check their credentials, previous job history, references, testimonials, etc. You can develop an educated assessment of their quality based upon their previous work, and you can have confidence when you proceed with them during each of your translation projects. A reputable Canadian Document Translation Services agency will work only with language professionals that are native speakers of your desired language pair. This gives the translator an in-depth knowledge of a language beyond what can be learned in classrooms and books, and will prevent you from getting a translator who may be able to speak the language fluently, but isn’t qualified to provide an extremely high quality translation by any means. High quality document translators are specialists, and a Canadian document translator will ensure that your document conveys exactly what you are trying to write in your desired target language. These days, working with a Canadian document translation services agency is easier than ever. Whether you’re in Alberta, Newfoundland, or even France or Germany, you have the same... read moreAre Language Barriers Affecting Your Business?
Language Services In the modern world globalized by the internet many things can be reached by just a click of a mouse. In the field of business the competition is fierce, and an aspect just as important as service quality is its reachability. A company offering highly demanded services or goods on a market limited by country borders prevents itself from economic growth, since such a strategy only makes sense for firms selling very specific goods which only sell well in a particular region. If your company is not among them it is highly advisable to make your services globally available. To do so, you may want to start with translating your website into the language of the country where you would like to start offering your services. Global availability cannot be reached within a short period; it is established step by step. For instance, if your company is located in Germany, you might translate your website into French to expand your business, or have your software localized for French audience. With the expansion grows your client database, new clients inform others about your services, and the chain reaction starts to bring you profit. After a while you will have enough financial means to start expanding into the next country. Another thing worth considering is the fact that cross-cultural meetings can sometimes lead to misunderstandings, disappointments or awkward situations if the participants are not somewhat familiar with their partner’s cultural rituals, beliefs, languages or psychological features rooted in them. This can become an obstacle on your way to successful business development. Therefore, before expanding into a new country, you... read moreTEN QUALITIES OF A GOOD TRANSLATOR
Good translator. Many people tend to think that a person who knows foreign languages is a good translator. However, that’s not necessarily true, as levels of knowledge of a language can vary. What are the qualities that characterize a good translator? Passion. A translator should be passionate about their translation job. They should use all their means and efforts to deliver every project in excellent shape, as if it was their baby. Translation Skills. A good translator must have a specific linguistic education. They should master not only the foreign language they work with, but also the skills of translation. Curiosity. A translator must be curious and motivated to keep on learning new words and expression. The learning process of a translator should be never-ending. Rich Vocabulary. A good translator must have a wide lexicon, not only in the foreign language but also in their mother tongue. This will make the translation process easier and the quality of the translation higher. It is also convenient for translators to acquire technical terms in specific fields, such as business, law, sciences, engineering, etc… Clarity. A good translator’s goal is to express the idea of the source text as clearly as possible, without ambiguity. They should avoid difficult structures when they can use simple ones. Translation Quality. A good translator should be obsessed with quality. Resources. In order to achieve the aforementioned quality, a good translator should use all available resources at their disposal. Accuracy. A good translator should provide an exact transfer of information. Despite it being tempting sometimes, the translator should not correct the source text, trying to maintain its... read more
