TRANSLATIONS

At Scriptorium we specialise in translating specialised texts, in particular:

• legal documents, court judgments;

• texts dealing with economics, banking and other financial matters;

• texts on fisheries.

To ensure the consistency and quality of translations - and to make sure we can meet short deadlines - we use specialised language databases linked to translation software. This provides the translator with automatic access to all previous translations in the specific field, ensuring consistent terminology and style. In addition, all our translations undergo a double review process to ensure quality and accuracy.

EDITING

Scriptorium offers editing services for various types of texts, e.g.:

• advertising and promotional material;

• user manuals;

• newsletters;

• press announcements.

It’s worth bearing in mind that the cost of having a capable editor review and polish a text in a foreign language before publication will be a small fraction of the total budget but can make a very big difference.

INTERPRETING AND LINGUISTIC CONSULTING

Scriptorium can also provide specialised language services and linguistic advice, for example:

• interpreting at meetings and conferences;

• court interpretation;

• on the use of translation software and databases, for companies who need to work in several languages.

IMAGE

The image of a business depends to no small degree on the material it produces or the message it sends. Getting professional language assistance is key to making sure your publications in a language which is not your own say what you want to say and convey the image you want to present.

GETTING IT RIGHT

Mistakes are easy to make, and can be costly to fix, when writing in another languages. Communicating in another language requires a comprehensive knowledge of both language and culture.
 

TECHNOLOGY

Scriptorium places major emphasis on using leading-edge language technology for translation. The use of computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools and access to machine translation (MT) databases expedites the translation process and ensures a quality product.
