A quality-assured translation process.

When you need to translate an important company document, such as an annual or a  sustainability report or a company magazine, into one or more languages, we will ensure that you receive a product of the highest quality.

We will appoint a dedicated project manager with great experience of managing assignments both large and small. The project manager will then choose a translator or team of translators with the right expertise for your specific texts and documents.

We would be grateful if you could provide any reference materials, glossaries, translation memories from previous translations or style rules that have been used. This guarantees that we will be able to retain the terminology and style used within your company.

During the translation process itself, it is possible that our translators may have specific queries about the submitted text. These queries may be about terminology or may be requests for clarification of aspects of the text, or relate to special titles used within your company or organisation.

Once the document has been translated, it is passed over to one of our proofreaders. Our proofreaders, too, are chosen because of their expertise and background so that the proofreading process will ensure that the target text is of the highest quality.

If you have ordered assistance with DTP (desktop publishing) the text is then sent to our technical department, where they will ensure that the document is ready for printing.

Once completed to your specifications we deliver the document to you for final approval.

Stratcore – optimised and transparent pricing.

Competitive pricing is important for every translation company as it ensures both customer satisfaction and profitability. In order to correctly reflect the value of the service provided, there are a number of important factors to consider. First and foremost, the service and price is tailored according to each client’s unique needs, whether it be a short-term project or a long-term collaboration. Flexibility promotes strong, sustainable client relationships.

The type of text to be translated is one of the factors that affects the price. Technical documents can require specialist skills and a lot of specific technology, while creative texts require understanding of cultural nuances and the ability to express oneself in a way that is effective for the type of text involved. The complexity of the text affects the time and expertise required, which in turn affects the price.

Another factor that affects the price is how urgent it is. Tight timeframes often require additional resources and a faster workflows in order for the end result to be completed at the time the client wants. Even under pressure of time, Stratcore guarantees both quality and exceptional service.

Ultimately, it is the desired style of the translated text that must be taken into account. Whether this means faithfully adhering to the original during the translation or creativity and sylistic flair is preferred, it is important that we fully understand the client’s wishes so that we can live up to the expectations of the project.

In terms of the pricing of translation services, Stratcore’s clients are usually charged by the word or hour. Hourly charging provides transparaency and flexibility, especially for projects with varying complexity or requirements. Alternatively, in the case of word-based charging, the client knows the exact cost in advance, based on the length of the text.

With Stratcore’s Translation Management System (LangCore), the translation memory from your company’s previous translations are integrated into the process. The system enables efficient management of all your translations and is used to ensure quality and streamline the work. Repetitions in texts or from previous translations also mean that you don’t need to pay for the same content twice.

Costs are reduced while your multi-lingual business communications are improved thanks to consistent terminology and uniform Tone of Voice. The benefits grow over time as the translation memory is built up and maintained.

Faster market launches of your products and services are made possible with time-effecient translation flows.

Hourly charging is most suitable for editing and proofreading, where the time spent can vary significantly. Word-based pricing is often preferred for simpler translation projects where clients can budget more precisely. In the end, the choice between these pricing models depends on the specific needs of the client and the nature of the project concerned.

Correct and well-written – at all linguistic levels

A well-translated text is one which your audience won’t notice as having been translated. A well-translated piece will be pleasant to read and it needs to work within its context. Each translation assignment brings its own special requirements.

Texts in specialised subject areas will need to be translated by someone with the right knowledge domain to ensure that the terminology is exact and has the correct ‘ring’ to it.

For example, a marketing text needs to be translated by someone who is skilled at using the right level of style and the right words, and even ‘buzz’ words from marketing to create text that arouses interest and sells.

At Stratcore, we do not just translate words: we translate your entire message so that it gets through and hits home – in the right way, in the right style, to the right target group, all the while respecting the subject area and nature of the text.

When you purchase professional translation services from Stratcore you can expect translations to be well-written, correct in style, tone and register, appropriately matching the source language.

Localisation – translation that creates trust.

The cultural dimension is an important consideration, which we at Stractore take pride in. We tailor texts not only linguistically but also culturally. We offer several levels of cultural adaptation for your multilingual communication. Below, we describe localisation, which is part of most translation assignments, but by clicking on this link you can also find out more about Stratcore’s transcreation services.

In the context of translation, localisation means adapting something from one language to another. Consider that your company is about to launch a product or service on the global market. It would mean that the texts about the product or the service would need to be translated and culturally adapted to different countries and even different territories within that country. When readers encounter their own native language, where all the different culturally bound elements feel familiar, a sense of trust in the product or service is created. It is important for the intended target group to continue reading and not be disturbed by aspects of the text that feel unfamiliar or difficult to understand. It is important to build on the trust and establish a connection between the product and the target audience. Localisation can include:

• Units, currencies, and time indicators.
• Date, address, and telephone number formats.
• Style level and modes of address.
• Humour, plays on words and idiomatic expressions.
• Choices of colours and illustrations.

Sometimes, brand names and/or names of products and services need to be adapted to avoid evoking undesirable associations in the new language and the target market. You can be certain that at Stratcore we are sensitive to cultural differences and nuances and are able to guide our customers and provide solutions should they be needed. Contact us today for localisation that creates trust, builds a connection and enhances your brand.

It’s easy, just get in touch via our online form (see our homepage), or email or give us a call. Whichever way is best for you.

We do recommend using the form that way we can be a little prepared as to which services you are interest in.
