Localization Services

Certain materials require more than just translation in order to match your target markets. This is where our localization services can help. We’ll ensure that the final product appears as if it was made for the target market, not just adapted from another source.

Software localization

Converting menus, help text, and all other elements to local language and then testing the final version prior to delivery.

Graphics localization

Designing, replacing, or editing graphics that accompany documents to ensure that all graphics support the translated text. This may include changes in background images or multimedia elements to reflect the local landscape or population.

Website localization

Studies have shown that people are more likely to purchase from websites in their own language. Developing local language versions of your website can build your company’s local presence, drive new business opportunities, and increase sales in foreign markets. Translatus can localize all your source text, images, videos, etc. and work with your Content Management System (CMS) to help you bring your website alive in any language.

Website localization is the process of adapting a website to fit the language and culture of the target market so it feels natural to the user. Many website features should be adapted depending on the target market, such as graphics, date and time format, time zones, numbers, currency, special characters, fonts, and units of measurement. Translatus can localize your website into any language for any market.

Interpreting Services

Translatus provides professional interpreting services in any language anywhere in the world. We are able to provide highly trained professional linguists for any multilingual event, from intimate one-on-one meetings to major global conferences.

- Simultaneous Interpreting – Ideal for larger meetings and conferences.
- Consecutive Interpreting – The most flexible form of interpretation, it is ideally suited for on-site facility tours, technical tours, seminars and negotiations.
- Whispering – Virtually the same as simultaneous interpreting, it is essential for intimate one-on-one meetings and small negotiations.

The high level of skill and training our interpreters possess ensures that your next multilingual event will achieve the highest level of fluency and professionalism.

Translation Memory Management

Translatus builds your Translation Memory on every project, bringing you better consistency, higher quality, and cost savings.

What is Translation Memory?

Translation Memory (TM) is a system that uses translation technology to create and constantly update a glossary of your approved translated terms, expressions, and whole sentences.

These glossaries are digitally scanned each time you submit a project. Matches from the Translation Memory are incorporated into the new project, ensuring more consistent terminology and a higher quality translation.

This service is included with all of our translations. In addition, we can incorporate your existing glossaries and even allow you to edit your Translation Memory so that it becomes the greatest possible asset to you and your company.

How does Translation Memory benefit you?

- Corporate Benefits
  By building up a stored knowledge of your preferred multilingual terminology and phrasing, Translation Memory improves the quality and consistency of your translations and provides continuity throughout your whole corporation.

- Corporate Marketing Benefits
  We build your Translation Memory using your preferred translations in line with your marketing strategy. As your global marketing strategy changes, so can your Translation Memory. It is available for you to change and adapt as needed.

- Cost Benefits
  Translation Memory can also result in direct discounts off your translation prices. These discounts are based on the number of matches between the document and the Translation Memory. Because your Memory increases with every project, the longer you work with us, the more you will save through Translation Memory matches.

Which Translation Memory packages does Translatus use?

Translatus uses the SDLTrados translation memory system, the current industry leader. We are also able to work with other types of TM software, such as Déjà vu and Wordfast.

Translation Direct Access: TDApro

What is TDApro?

Translation Direct Access, or TDApro, is the project management system developed and used by Translatus in order to process all projects quickly and efficiently. Through TDApro you can:

Upload your files to be translated
See all jobs in progress and track project status
Request and approve job quotes
Supply reference materials to be distributed to the project team
Download the final translated files
Retrieve files from past projects which remain stored on the site

Creating an Account

The person whose name is filled in on the registration form is the account holder. That person can then create as many user accounts as they wish under the master account name. Setting up additional users is easy – just go to the administration management page within TDApro.

Using TDApro

When you process a new project, you have the option to request a price quote or to process the job immediately. When your project quote is ready it will be placed in your “My Projects” folder next to the project name and you will be sent an e-mail to let you know it’s ready. You can edit project information at any time.

If you submit a job for immediate processing, your project cost will be based on your agreed Translatus price rate card. If you have not negotiated your own Translatus price rates, the estimate will be based on the standard rate card.

Translation Services

Translatus brings together premier resources to translate your business materials for use in your target markets.

Project Teams

Each project team is led by an accountable project manager, who coordinates all resources and serves as the single point of contact during project delivery. Depending on the project needs, the team may consist of:

Project Manager
Translators
Proofreaders
Graphic Design/DTP staff
Technology Architects/Programmers

We seek to keep a consistent team working on all projects for a given client. This increases quality and enables the team to better understand specific client preferences from project to project.

This chart should help you understand how our project management team collaborates to achieve the most professional and seamless translation process.

Translatus draws on a wide network of accredited translators and proofreaders to match the right resources to your project needs. For each target language, we assign a translator who:

is experienced and accredited
is knowledgeable in your specific subject field
lives and works in the country where the final document will be used

We facilitate collaboration between translator and proofreader during the review process as needed to ensure the final product is correct and polished.
