Translation Services Eclipse translates texts in over 150 languages. We offer a fast and efficient service in a wide range of formats and use the latest translation technology to support our projects. TRANSLATION SPECIALISTS All of our carefully selected translators and interpreters are native speakers and experienced subject specialists. PROOFREADING We provide a full proofreading service whereby a qualified translator reads through the source and target files and provides feedback on any changes that may improve the text for the target audience, such as differences in style and context. VOICE-OVERS We offer a full service from initial transcription and translation through to final audio or film delivery across all formats. CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING & CONNOTATION CHECK Our service will check that your message and product branding is appropriate and relevant to your target audience. QUALITY CONTROL Because we understand the effect that a poor translation or an incorrect technical interpretation could have on your business, we place great emphasis on robust checking, monitoring and feedback for all of our work. Our systems are transparent and comply fully with our ISO 9001 accreditation. TYPESETTING SERVICE We ensure that all of your text is laid out correctly to match your original documents, achieving the best typographic quality. Documents that have been designed by your studio can be recreated by us, and we can work from the original artwork files or create new files compatible with both Mac and PC systems. We also provide an optional printing service if required. POST-DTP CHECK We provide a post-dtp checking service before printing. This is a final check by the original translator once the artwork has been completed by the studio. LOCALISATION A localised software product or website is vital to the success of an international company. We provide software localisation for many different platforms and our service includes engineering and QA testing. Call: 0800 376 5003 www.eclipse-translation.co.uk
