REFERENCE MATERIAL
FOR THE SAKE OF CONSISTENCY - Letting us have access to previous technical translation is the best way to guarantee high quality work.
The reference material provided by the customer guides the expressions we use in our translations. This is especially important the first time the customer uses us,but even after working together for some time, we depend on:
* The customer's considered reaction to our work - e.g. market reaction to texts;
* The customer sending us printed samples, containing illustrations and diagrams of the brochures/manuals we have translated, for future reference.
By agreement with the customer, we can create glossaries and other aids to improve translation in future.
Please refer to my KEYWORDS on this page.
