Translation and revision

When the quality and the image that your texts convey are paramount, imatrad offers a translation and revision service.

This service, in accordance with the UNE-15038 European Translation Standard, involves translation by a native-speaking translator who specialises in the area in question and a complete revision by another translator with the same profile. The reviewer checks the translation in terms of its suitability for the end purpose, compares the source and destination texts and makes corrections as necessary.

Translation and quality control

For informative and support texts and documentation that will not be published, whose objective is not so much style and terminology but good comprehension of the information. In this service, one of imatrad’s native-speaking and specialist translators will translate and proof read his or her own work.

imatrad also carries out an internal quality control with its computer assisted translation tools. It thus checks that everything is translated, that the figures all match and that the original document format has been maintained.

Web site, software and application translation

From a simple web page to the most complete software, including apps and games for smart phones and social networks. imatrad manages the entire content translation process using modern translation tools. And if you prefer, the translation can be adapted for optimal search engine positioning (SEO).

Creation of dictionaries and translation memories

Each subject area has its own specific language, which is sometimes even unique and distinctive to a brand or a company. imatrad uses modern computer tools to create dictionaries and translation memories from your existing translated documentation. This enables your corporate technology to be applied to all the documents you have to translate, and it works out cheaper.

Copywriting

imatrad can write personalised texts directly in the language you require, adapted to the culture of the country in question. Whether it is a post for your international social networks, a press release or an entry in your blog, imatrad has an extensive team of native-speaking copywriters who will find the perfect words to communicate your ideas.

In these times in which speaking the language of a mediator for a company is essential, imatrad has an extensive team of interpreters specialised in different ways of working and also the subject areas you may need.

Simultaneous interpretation

Ideal for conferences, courses, meetings, etc. imatrad provides the interpreters and also takes care of the equipment (booth, headphones, etc.)

Consecutive and accompanied interpretation

imatrad’s interpreters are the link with your mediator, communicating your ideas and the mediator’s ideas consecutively. Ideal for trade shows, sales meetings, etc.

Chuchotage

In this method of simultaneous interpretation, the translation is “whispered” quietly while a person speaks. It is ideal in situations in which only one person in the audience does not know the language being spoken.

Given that there are always differences in the lengths of the source and destination texts, the format often requires subsequent editing, especially if the texts will be published.

imatrad’s team of desktop publishers can edit any file format (MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Publisher, Adobe InDesign, Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, QuarkXPress, Quicksilver/Interleaf, etc.) on different platforms (MS Windows, Mac OS) and in multiple languages. This means you do not run the risk of reconstructing the format incorrectly due to not having knowledge of the destination language.

imatrad can also convert non-editable PDF files into other formats for subsequent translation or processing.
