All written documents, regardless of their size and turnaround time, are first evaluated by a Team Leader to match the projects nuances with the appropriate translator. A terminology platform may be developed to ensure document consistency. It is then translated, edited, and also proofread by a second translator. Finally, the Head Translator reviews the finished product for structural integrity. This team-oriented process ensures consistency in content, form, and style of the translated document.

Perils of Machine Translation

No matter how sophisticated or expensive a translation program may be, it has major limitations. A software package can only do what it is programmed to do. Translation programs are fine for single word translation, but they cannot perform contextual translation. Regardless of the manufacturer's claims, no software package can deal with the constantly changing nature of a living language. Legal, scientific and specialized phrases and terms are a particularly problematic area for translation programs, but they also often have difficulty with simple homonyms and synonyms.

You've probably received dozens of advertisements for software packages that claim to meet every imaginable translation need, from literal translation through to complex legal contracts. These ads often include such enticing statements as:

* Automatic complete text translation *
* Translating without linguistic knowledge *
* The complete text translator *
*Save a lot of money! A translation program will do all translations for you.*

Well, we continually test various translation programs to see just how accurate they are. Online translation services (such as the free service provided at Alta Vista) were included in the tests. Prices ranged from free to very expensive, but all tested programs provided the same results. None of the programs yielded accurate contextual translation. In other words, the meaning of the original passage was lost in the translation.

Machine translations can assist in translating simple texts to give general meaning. They are however not suitable for complex texts.
