Translation

translations
true to the spirit
of the original

Translation is all about communicating effectively with a target group in a different country with a different culture. The process entails a lot more than ‘simply’ putting sentences word for word into a different language.

It takes a language professional who is well versed in your subject matter to convert your message into his or her own native language, and to do so with understanding and feeling.

What are our languages?

We specialise in Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish.

For other languages we work with specialised agencies that adhere to the same rigorous quality standards as we do.

What are our specialised fields?

We mainly work for businesses and organisations in the following sectors:

financial services
marketing and corporate communication
medical information
government institutions at all levels

Technical tools

Automated translation is still a long way off, particularly when it comes to creative texts. But software is available for improving the quality of the translations and saving time into the bargain. sbv anderetaal takes full advantage of these tools and is an Associate Partner of SDL Trados, a leading supplier of translation tools.

These are the steps we go through to deliver a perfect result:

Briefing
Optimisation of source text
Translation
Revision
Final edit
Final check and delivery

Clear arrangements are made about all aspects of the job.

Optional - we analyse the source text and, if necessary, do a re-edit/rewrite in order to achieve the maximum effect.

By one or more specialised translators, using translation software where appropriate.

The source text is carefully checked and compared against the translation; corrections are discussed with the translator.

Optional - an experienced editor revisits the text once more to make sure the content and style are perfect.

After technical processing and a final check, we deliver the final text to the client.
