Q. I am a corporate client. I need to translate highly confidential documents. How do you ensure confidentiality of documents and contents?
A. We understand and respect the confidential nature of the contents. We sign the NDA with the client before any contents are shared with us. Also our translators are bound by the NDA with us. If need be, the work is split between two or three translators, just to ensure the confidentiality.
Q. How do you ensure accuracy of the translation?
A. The translation undergoes ruthless editing. In case of technical translations, we adopt the reverse translation way to ensure accuracy. For literary contents, we take extra care that the translation is of the meaning, not just of words. Using parallel idioms, relevant metaphors are some examples.
Q. Do you do machine translation or manual translation? / do you use CAT tools for translation?
A. For Indian languages we use manual translation only. For European languages also, we prefer manual translation. However, if time and cost are the constraints, then we may CAT tools, with the knowledge of the client, and the translation is subsequently edited.
