9 With you all the way Efficiency and attention to detail are the hallmarks of our success. All our work is performed and managed by accomplished professionals using proven techniques. For quality control, projects are monitored at every stage, and on completion, feedback is fully analysed to help achieve total customer satisfaction. A project manager will be assigned for every project and will provide all the information and advice you require and ensure that the work is completed to your particular requirements, efficiently and on time. We will take the time to understand your projects as well as their significance within the context of your operations and overall objectives. Moreover, we will endeavour to work closely with you until the job is completed to your ultimate satisfaction.

10 Translation & Transcreation Translation We currently have access to a pool of over 700 internationally selected freelancers, all of whom are required to adhere to our exigent professional standards. All our translators are native speakers of the language they work in, and are assigned projects according to their native language, experience, qualifications and areas of specialisation. Transcreation Transcreation is a process for the adaptation of creative material, such as slogans, logos or adverts. Rather than simply translating text from the source language, our copywriters will provide you with copy in a style and language which reflects the spirit of your message and which will appeal to your target audience. Proofreading Our proofreaders, who work to the same stringent criteria mentioned above, check translated texts for omissions, orthographical and grammatical errors, style, formatting and overall linguistic accuracy. Final Review At this stage, a reviewer examines the text in its full and proper context (website, brochure, etc.) keeping in view its intended use. All the processes outlined above ensure a consistent high-quality output.

11 Quality is not an act, it is a habit. Aristotle (Greek Philosopher) Typesetting & Layout Our in-house graphic designers have extensive experience in typesetting of foreign languages using a wide range of software tools. We typeset into your existing artwork template so that the foreign language version even if in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese or Russian looks as good as the English original. Each project is assessed by native speakers before it is released.

12 It s not faith in technology. It s faith in people.
