Re: [Framers] OFF TOPIC, Translation Need.

[de Rouck, Tom (Zelzate)]

Dear Rick,

If it's not too late, please allow me to recommend my colleagues from the SGS 
Documentation Services translation team.

SGS Documentation Services is a division of SGS Belgium, part of the 
international SGS Holding. You might know us, if your company is concerned with 
lab automation. :-)

The main business of SGS Documentation Services is technical writing and 
translating (over 25 years of experience) and we can offer the following 
services:
*Specialized translations (technical, defense, healthcare, product catalogues, 
chemistry, food, machinery, legal, etc...).
*Technical writing of user, software and service manuals, parts catalogues, 
installation guides (in short, all possible kinds of documentation).
*Art Work, technical illustrations, 2D and 3D diagrams, 3D animations, 
presentations, 3D PDF applications.
*Interactive documentation for various output formats from single source 
concepts (PDF, online help, web help, iPad, e-book, etc.), including e-learning.

Translations
Our translations are made by professional translators, always translating to 
their native language (a guarantee!). We select those translators based on 
their knowledge and experience on specific domains, and we evaluate them 
continuously. SGS Documentation Services is certified (ISO) for the quality 
procedures used. From English (or French, Dutch or German) we cover more than 
50 target languages as standard languages, but thanks to our network we can 
help our customers with almost any language combination.

best regards,
Tom

I gave up on Save As PDF months ago when it was unreliable for tables. In
tables with alternate rows shaded, sometimes the text in the shaded rows is
obscured behind the shading. So we now mandate Print Book to PDF and all is
well.

Re: [Framers] OFF TOPIC, Translation Need.

[Craig, Alison]

I can't speak for all disciplines, but in the medical device arena I know that 
some LSPs are now expanding their ISO certifications so that they are, for 
example, ISO 13485-compliant (this is the ISO standard used by Health Canada 
and CE). I believe the life sciences and medical device arms of 
TransPerfect.com claim this.

It's been so long since I had to qualify an LSP that I can't remember exactly 
what they expect when qualifying a translator - but there is absolutely no 
reason not to ask for this procedure when you're researching LSPs.

A slightly curious criterion, but I consider myself duly informed.

By 'translation language'. I guess you mean target language.

As someone who has danced around translation for many years, I accidentally 
developed a small specialization in rewriting technical material originally 
written in English by authors who did not have English as their first language. 
I am very relieved that I never had to subcontract translation services, 
because I have never been able to reconcile the correct balance between 
expertise in the source and target languages and expertise in the subject 
matter. Clearly both is the ideal, but such animals are a rare species indeed. 
I would be interested to know what process in ISO certification of an LSP 
verifies subject matter expertise.

For example, as a result of previous work on textbooks, I have recently done 
'translation' of technical material written in German. I only have a smattering 
of German, but I do understand the subject matter. So the 'translation' process 
involves transliteration using freely-available online services, followed by 
rewriting the copy so that it makes both linguistic and technical sense in the 
target language, in this case English. The latter is the huge bulk of the work, 
with a fair bit of ironing out of idiom in the source material.

I absolutely could not perform the reverse operation. So I guess I fit Alison's 
criterion, in that I live in England: certainly my clients seem happy, but in 
no way can I claim to be a professional translator. Conversely, someone with 
good German skills but little or no understanding of, say, software development 
methodologies, might well flounder. Leaving translation aside, I know of 
English-speaking copy-editors who claim to be able to work on any material: 
this makes me worried.

So what is the ideal balance between source/target language expertise and 
subject matter expertise? I suspect this question is at the heart of LSP 
specification, and Alison's suggestion of a 'test package' seems a very sound 
one.

Re: [Framers] OFF TOPIC, Translation Need.

[Craig, Alison]

I've conversed with more than a dozen LSPs over the years (I did a big RFQ for 
comparison purposes at one point) and I've never dealt with a company that 
couldn't work with Frame files. When we switched from Word to Frame back in 
2009, there wasn't so much as a hiccup. I've always received completed files in 
their original format.

This is where selecting an LSP with ISO certification is a good idea as they're 
likely to be big enough to work with any/all standard TechComm formats. They'll 
also have a process for selecting translators with qualifications in relevant 
businesses (eg, medical devices or aeronautics).

Additionally, someone mentioned something about company heads at a US-based 
firm speaking the language in question. IMO, this isn't relevant unless they're 
part of the project team and (perhaps) perform proofing duties in 
post-translation verification.

When done properly, German translations will be sent to a translator living in 
Germany (or Austria if you're looking for Austrian German). Professional 
translators are supposed to live in the country where they speak the 
translation language. ISO certified firms will have this as a hiring 
requirement.

More than a decade ago, we searched for a company to whom we could send

FrameMaker format back to us.

This was not easy, since companies doing translations into Spanish (our need) 
did not have FrameMaker, but we finally chose one that was willing to invest in

Re: [Framers] OFF TOPIC, Translation Need.

[Craig, Alison]

Before we were purchased by Analogic Corp in 2013, my (medical device) company 
used http://www.adt-international.com/en/ for 7 years. ADT (formerly Anthea 
Languages) is located in France. I was always very happy with their work.

Since 2013, our translation is handled out of our Copenhagen office and they 
use http://www.nlgworldwide.com/translations and are extremely happy with them. 
Their headquarters happen to be in Germany, but the translations are managed 
out of Greece.

There are many other good companies out there - this one also comes to mind 
http://www.transperfect.com/. However, full costs vary radically from firm to 
firm.

I recommend that you create a "test" package with a request for quotation and 
send it to at least 5 Language Service Providers (LSP). Ask them to spell out 
all their costs so you can compare them. Price per word is important, but it's 
only part of the cost.

Depending on the business, you may need an LSP with ISO certification and that 
can handle your specific industry - not all LSPs are created equal, so choose 
wisely.

Hello Framers,

Anyone want to recommend a good translation company. Going to start with German.

Thank you All.
