Our team of linguists, engineers and managers
come from all walks of life and all are qualified
professionals with years of experience in the industry.
They are all skilled in their various jobs, be it
translating, editing, project management, software
localisation or desktop publishing.
All assignments are performed by multilingual translators
in their native-language. They operate in-country
and are accredited translators (with at least, a
Bachelor's degree, and usually coupled with a Masters
degree or Doctorate). Their work is then cross-edited
by experienced proofreaders and professional editors,
whose fine tunig and identification of errors ensures
accuracy, style and consistency in the use of terminology.
Most of our translators are skilled users of Translation
Memory software.
Our editors are experienced linguists responsible
for the overall accuracy of a translation and to
ensure that there are no misinterpretations or ambiguities
in the target text. Every translation produced by
AsiaL10n is checked again in this way by a second
linguist. An editor is also responsible for ensuring
that, when the band of translators work on different
modules of the same project, the terminology and
style is consistent throughout.
Our project managers experienced industry personnel
who are responsible for ensuring that a customer's
project is completed to the highest standards, on
time and within budget: effective and efficient
management - saving time and energy throughout the
entire process from initial client contact to final
file delivery.
An AsiaL10n project manager is the customer's one
point of contact, no matter how many different languages,
files or documents are involved in the project.
Following an initial project briefing, you could
well decide to take a hands-off approach, fully
confidant that our project managers will meet the
deadline and that all languages will attain the
same quality assurance standards throughout.
In addition to client liaison, scheduling, budget
control, appointing and supervising translators,
quality control, glossary maintenance, translation
memory maintenance and updating, the project manager
ensures a smooth and consistent flow of information
to all involved in the project.
Key steps include:
1. Reviewing the source text
2. Building and maintaining client-specific glossaries
3. Quality control at all stages
4. Co-ordinating translators, editors and proofreaders
5. Co-ordinating DTP and graphics requirements
6. Co-ordinating software technicians
7. Liaising with overseas offices for translation
approval
8. Supplying files in your required format
Our production team is supported by software technicians
and IT executives responsible for localising Resource
Code, Help Text, Web sites, Multimedia and so
on. We have extensive experience with large and
highly complex engineering tasks, and can discuss
processes, working environments and suggest strategies
that can save time and cost for any specific set
of tasks.
Our language technicians have expertise in all
the tools necessary for localising Resource Code,
Help Text, Web sites, etc. Some of the tools we
employ include WinHelp, RoboHelp, HelpQA, ITP,
Corel Catalyst etc.
Trained to be able to handle almost any desktop
publishing software as well as the latest multimedia
publishing software, our DTP Specialists are able
to handle the publishing of multilingual works
on PC, Macintosh and UNIX platforms.
We are able to receive your files and documents
(in almost any format) and produce versions of
the original document in all mainstream Asian
languages. The end results are works that meet
international publishing standards of quality
and linguistic accuracy.
