Accuracy is the name of the game!

When speaking, we rely on intonation as much as on our choice of words. Therefore, the omission or inclusion of a written word in a text may mean the difference between success and failure in communicating one's message. That is why at America's Translators, accuracy is paramount. We follow a consistent, rigorous and quality-driven approach in achieving our clients' translation and multilingual publishing goals.

Painstaking effort is required to ensure that a fully comprehensive and accurate translation is delivered to you! The preservation of your original syntax and semantics is our task, which is why all of our translators and proofreaders are accredited and fluent in both the original and the target language. Furthermore, as familiarity with technical jargon in a particular field or type of business is mandatory, our translators are selected according to their individual backgrounds, fields of expertise, prior experience and knowledge of idiomatic expressions inherent to every country; thus, ensuring that all translations are true to the subject matter and are correctly localized.

Client Satisfaction is our Main Goal:

Our goal is to provide a clear, accurate and comprehensive translation of your products or services; conveying a specific image to your foreign customers within the time frame you require.

A step-by-step process is followed for each job:

Each project is led by an experienced project manager.

The project manager is responsible for all facets of the translation job and for making sure that the finished product complies with all client requirements. Project manager assignments may vary according to field of expertise, localization requirements and/or prior experience with the client.

Document Review and Assessment of Localization Needs:

Once the files are submitted, the text is thoroughly examined and all details of the project are assessed including specific location adaptation and formatting requirements. These formatting requirements may be as simple as localization of calendar or time settings, units of currency or measurement, numerical format, etc., or as extensive as specific desktop or website publishing requirements.

Technical Glossary Building:

A glossary of all technical terminology is prepared by one of our subject-specialist translators. The project manager reviews the glossary with the client and obtains his/her approval as appropriate. Once guidelines and specifications have been set, they are archived for future use by the client, thereby assuring that terminological integrity is consistent and is maintained as your product evolves or is marketed to other countries. This means that the longer we work with our clients, the better we can anticipate their needs!

Ongoing Communication with Client:

Just as America's Translators assigns a project manager to your project, we ask our clients to make available a member of your company to assist us in the clarification of document ambiguities. Direct, ongoing communication between our translator and your representative will ensure that the exact meaning of your intended communication, including overall 'tone', is reflected in the translated document.

Document Review and Proofreading:

Each translation project is proofread and edited by a professional who is a native speaker of the target language and familiar with subject matter and terminology. The translated document is then reviewed by the project manager who confirms that all client specifications have been met.

Text Formatting:

The translated document may be delivered in simple text as a word processing file or it may be formatted into publishing- ready text if requested by the client. We support Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, PageMaker, Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat, PDF and HTML. We will ensure that your specific formatting requirements are met.

Reliability:

Client satisfaction is our top priority. At the onset of each new project, our project manager and the client establish the completion date. Depending on the size and nature of the project, there may be one final deadline or several deadlines if your project is under development and text is 'evolving'. We know that quality and timeliness are vital for the success of your project, so America's Translators is committed to meeting all client deadlines. We can also expedite our services and offer 'rush-delivery'.

Confidentiality:

America's Translators adheres to strict confidentiality rules in compliance with the American Translators Association. Each project requires an executed Confidentiality Agreement between America's Translators and the client. In addition, all of our translators, proofreaders and project managers must sign a statement of Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality designed to preserve the identity and the information shared by our clients.

Fees:

Translation costs are a function of the source and target language, the subject matter, the document's formatting requirements and the project's time frame. We offer competitive rates and unmatched quality. If you would like to receive an estimate for your project, please fill out the online form located in our website or contact us directly.
