Translation
Description
Translation is at the foundation of global communication. It requires more than word substitution – translators interpret context, culture, tone and subject matter to ensure messages are understood as intended in every language.
Professional translation involves multiple steps: analyzing the source, translating content, editing, reviewing and performing Quality assurance. Specialized translators work across technical, legal, medical and creative fields to deliver precise, industry-relevant output. Technology now plays a key role. Translation memory (TM) systems store previously translated segments, improving speed and consistency. Terminology management tools ensure the correct use of brand and industry terms. Neural machine translation (NMT) and AI-assisted workflows accelerate delivery while human linguists maintain quality and nuance through post-editing. Modern translation connects directly with Content Management Systems (CMS) and Translation Management Systems (TMS) to support continuous localization – enabling companies to publish multilingual content at scale and speed.

- Documentation: Product manuals, technical documentation and packaging.
