Why
pay London prices?
Translation
is one of those services that can be carried out virtually anywhere.
Documents can be sent instantly via the internet allowing you
to make use of more cost effective linguistic solutions. Why should
you pay extra just so that a translation agency can afford plush
London offices? If you wish to hire any translation service, it
is vital to understand that your translator will make or break
your ambitions. You will be judged, not by the quality of your
products or your words, but by the quality of your translation.
These factors are far more important than geographical location.
Our
philosophy is to translate your words so that the true meaning
is felt, not just simply understood. At first, it is not always
easy to see what the difference is, but the subtleties of language
are such that it is often the undertone of a document that carries
the weight rather than the written words.
For example,
let's imagine that we have a customer who is very late paying
his bill. We might like to give him a reminder such as:
"May
we draw your attention to the fact that our invoice no. 2347 is
now considerably overdue and we would appreciate settlement at
your earliest convenience. We are sure that this is just an oversight,
but please make final settlement of your account within the next
10 days to avoid any further action being necessary"
The
tone of the letter is polite and respectful, but the undertone
is clear - Pay up in 10 days or we will be taking you to court.
This, after all, is a customer and we don't want to be rude or
offensive. We may wish to keep his business. The problems occur
when we give this letter to a translator and they fail to grasp
the subtle undertone. Instead they translate it as 'pay up or
else!'
You
can imagine the result.
Your
translator must comprehend what you want to say, and understand
how you want to say it to avoid negative situations. Just translating
a document or web page is not going to create the image you need.
The words must communicate the whole essence of your original,
to be not just understandable, but
felt.
We
do far more than just translate words. Most of our clients are
interested in building long term relationships with companies
or individuals in Russia, and other countries of the former Soviet
Union. It is our job to help those relationships to develop to
their full potential.
This
could be on a business, or on a personal level.
We
