Translation

We offer accurate technical translations of your documents.  Everything from Patents to Safety Data Sheets, ISO manuals, SAP training documents, shipping labels, and much more.  Our skilled native-language translators possess either degrees and/or work experience in the subject area, greatly increasing the initial quality and reducing the overall time it takes to do a translation.  In addition, our reviewers have the same qualifications plus the added responsibility of ensuring your documents contain consistent terminology usage and are error-free.  Combining this talented linguistic staff with experienced project managers creates a team focused on exceeding your expectations every time.

Localization

We can localize your web site, meaning we can take it beyond mere translation and review the site to ensure it conforms to local customs and practices, is "User-Friendly" in the target language, and conveys the information in a way that is appealing to the target audience.  Click HERE to request a localization price quote.

Voice Over

From script translation to voice talent, we offer the ability to take your training material, product videos or marketing CDs from English into the language of your global customers.  Click HERE to request more information.

We can do brochures, posters or other marketing literature in Ventura Publisher, Quark Express, PC or Mac versions in most common Asian or European languages.

We offer interpreters in a wide range of languages for on-site and teleconference interpreting. Our standard rate for interpreting service excludes travel, food and lodging expenses. Rates may vary depending on the language skill required, urgency of the request and other factors, but the standard rate will apply for local work in most common languages. In addition we can provide interpreters at distant locations through our extended network of associate agencies. Call us at (989) 839-5804 or toll free at (877) 688-7267 to schedule an interpreter.

FAST-TRANS is for when you need a translation in a hurry and you just want to gain a basic understanding of what the material contains, excluding charts and graphs. This will provide you with the gist of the material at a rate and in a timeframe that you will not find anywhere else. The free translation sites on the internet only offer limited amounts of text, we can do your entire document. We also update our glossaries on a regular basis so your translation results can only improve the more you use this service. By providing us the document in one of the formats specified, you save even more time and money as we do not need to convert your hardcopy or PDF file back into text. Once you have your translated file back in hand, should you want a better quality, you can apply the cost of the FAST-TRANS work to a KWIKTRANS translation.

KWIKTRANS® (MAT)

KWIKTRANS represents a balance of human and machine. When you need a translation that is almost as good as a Human Translation, including charts and graphs, but you need it faster and at a lower cost. We constantly update our glossaries so the quality of our KWIKTRANS Machine Aided Translation is always improving. Our language pairs are also expanding as the technology becomes available. This is an excellent patent screening tool or as a research enhancer, allowing you to do three times the research for the money.  You determine the level of readability you need based upon the time and budget you want to spend.  Get the "gist" of the document or go all the way to a full human translation, or anywhere you find value in between. 

We currently support the following document types:

MS Word	Plain Text
MS Excel	HTML Files
MS Powerpoint	XML Files
MS RTF	PDF*
*NOTE: Translation quality dependent on original document readability and a USD 50.00 fee applies to convert image only .pdf files or hardcopy documents to text.

You may also combine different quality levels within the same document, such as requesting the patent claims by Human Translation (HT) and the rest by KWIKTRANS (MAT), or the claims and examples by HT and the rest by MT. This way you optimize your research budget and maximize the amount of research you can in a tighter development cycle.
