Professional Translation Services

What is translation?

Translation is the rendering of the meaning of a text in one language, or source language, into another language, via the creation of an equivalent text, likewise called a translation, that communicates the original message in the second, or target, language.

Translation is confined to written language (in documents, books, letters, and other printed media and, increasingly, on the Internet and in web pages), while interpretation takes place orally, between two spoken languages. The key skill of a very good translator is the ability to write well, to express him/herself clearly and succinctly in the target language. That is why professional translators almost always work in only one direction, translating only into their native language.

Acute Translations’ 7-Step Total Quality Assurance Strategy

• Translator Screening. One of the keys to good translations lies in the linguistic excellence of the translator. Our translators are expert linguists who only translate into their native languages.
• Communication and Project Management. The second key to good translations is outstanding communication. Once we receive your order, it will be assigned to a Project Manager, who will act as a liaison between you and all the language experts working on your project. That way, all questions will be answered and any uncertainties will be addressed quickly and efficiently.
• Key Term Check. A third key to good translations is, obviously, use of correct terminology. Before we begin the actual translation, we first extract and translate key terms, creating a project glossary.
• Translation Memory. Increasingly, a fourth key to good translations is the use of TM software. All of our translators use Translation Memory software, which enhances translation quality and consistency.
• Proofreading. The fifth key to good translations is checking and then checking again! As soon as your translation is received from the translator, it is passed to a second linguist for proofreading.
• Final Print Check. The sixth key to good translations is the final print check. At this stage verifies and confirms proper page layout, correct headers/footers, page numbering and insertion of graphics. Now the translation is ready to be sent to you!
• Final Client Check and Approval. This, of course, is the final key to good translations – happy clients! We are always more than happy to review every element of the translation with you, and aim for your 100% satisfaction.
