The translation of text from one language to another can be a simple matter or a complex process which involves a large set of skills. In today's environment, clients expect technology savvy language vendors, quality work and cost efficiencies.

A successful translation project, however, always starts with good quality original content. Many of our clients are highly informed about the issues that are involved in a successful translation process. Others are not entirely aware what they need to manage a translation project or how to look for a reliable translation vendor.

It is not uncommon for a client to call us in a state of desperation asking us to translate dozens of pages, and to deliver in the next couple of days. We like to ask these clients one question: How long did it take you to write this content? In a nut-shell, if it took someone 15 days to write a text, don't expect us to translate it in 2 days with high quality. Yes, we can assign several translators to an rush project, but the end-product will not have the same quality and consistency as if the translation had been done with time and care.

Other people try to translate large sections of content using machine translation. This is acceptable if you want to know what the text is saying, more or less. But, as of now, computer translations are not a substitute for the art and craft that human translators offer.

To help our clients and friends understand these and many other issues involved with the translation process, we offer this section of our website to inform our clients and friends about the many factors that must be taken into account when they need to translate content into other languages. We believe that it is better to be informed and plan ahead than rush at the end and risk the quality of the end-product. We recommend that translation vendor be involved from the start of your content creation process, this will save time and money.

There is no substitute for knowing and planning!
