Independent quality assurance

To verify that online or printed material is delivered with the highest quality and precision

Quality Assurance has always been a part of our standard production cycle. We are also offering it as a standalone task.

Document preparation for translation

Preparing documents into a format understandable by machine translation tools

We use Trados S-Tagger, Story Collectors and Copyflow tools to extract text from various DTP applications into files that can be easily translated in Microsoft Word, Trados tools or any other CAT tools.

This phase of preparation may also include different types of work over the source documentation, such as content fix and tune-up, to ease and speed up the post-translation process.

Screen Capture, Bitmap, and Vector Art Editing

Localization of the source art

Screen capture - performed on the localized operating system with the relevant software installed. Taken screen shots are inserted into the localized documents.

Bitmap and vector art editing - illustrations are manually localized with the supplied translation to ease and speed up the post-translation process.
