Pre-translation

- Transcription of audio files, video and handwritten letters.
- PDF>Word conversion, character recognition (OCR), correction of spelling and text layout.

Post-translation
- Quality assurance through comparison and analysis of the source text and the target text.*
- Proofreading and correction of translations, but also of technical, commercial, editorial and general texts.*
- Checking consistency between the recent translation and existing texts (once validated, a marketing slogan will always remain the same for example).*
- Text adjustments for different applications or cultures (for example: summary, linguistic localisation, creative translation).
- Establishment of a relationship and collaboration with an external computer graphics designer for the layout of your texts in DTP software (advertising, brochures, catalogues...), or even for the creation of a multilingual website with content optimisation and keywords for search engines (SEO).
- Printing, enveloping, direct mailing.
- Final check after insertion. We can carry out a final quality control of your text once you have formatted it (for example, after its publication on a website or its insertion in a PDF catalogue).
