Translation Service.
This is the most common service. You send me your material and I will return it to you translated and generally, keeping the formatting of the original.

 

Translation plus legalisation.

The translation of Legal Documents (eg. Certificates of Birth, Marriage, Divorce, Statutory Declarations, etc.) might need the translator's signature and affidavit as well as its legalisation by a Solicitor or Notary Public.

You may only want to know what a document is about.

This service is excellent for those who do not need a complete translation but just want a good idea of the contents. 

You can simply send your documents by fax or email, give me an idea of what you expect from me and provide me with your contact details.

I will get back to you to coordinate your exact needs and give you a quotation.

Proofreading & Editing

Sometimes to have a translation or a text written in a specific language is not enough.

After hours and hours of reading the same text everything seems to sound right and even for the best translators it is always safer to have it checked by someone else.

These services are performed by native proofreaders of the corresponding languages.

Benefits:

To check that no bits have been missed

To check grammar, spelling, styling and accuracy

To check that there is coherence and cohesion all through the document

 

Which should you choose?  This will give you an better idea:

Editing: is basically the thorough comparison of the entire translation against the original text for completeness, mistranslations and typos, correction, stylistic accuracy, internal consistency, proper terminology, check against reference materials .
Proofreading: consist of reading the translation to check spelling, extended characters, high-level formatting, date and number formats, index, TOCs, and product names. Visually comparing the entire text against the original in order to make sure that there is not text or graphics missing, and that no text is cut off.

Formatting & Organising your Documents

No  matter if your document is a simple letter, a brochure or  a slide presentation. 
It should always look neat, tidy and appropriately. 

Additional Notes:

Files handled: .doc .rft .xls .ppt .txt .htm .html .ttx .pdf .cdr .cpt .pub (other formats on request)

The pricing of all the services depends among other factors, on the subject, length, difficulty of the text as well as  the deadline (price guide). 

Every project has its own characteristics, so don't hesitate to contact me to discuss the specific details of yours.
