A. Western European, Scandinavian and Asian Languages Translation

• We translate several million words each year from Dutch, German and French into English for large IT, MNC and engineering clients throughout Europe, USA and India. We have, in fact, devised a translation strategy and glossary management system for several large companies, and we boast an extensive collection of dictionaries in those languages. Each document we handle is post-edited to ensure the highest quality of translation. Glossaries are compiled for large-scale projects. Translation is done using SDL Trados.
Major translation projects undertaken in these languages:
• Dutch into English: over 1 million words for an engineering MNC.
• Dutch into English: over 3 million words for a telecom project.
• Dutch into English: over 2 million words for a banking project.
• Dutch into English: over 2 million words for an insurance project.
• Dutch into English and French into English: Oracle applications, over 3 million words.
• Dutch into English: over 3 million words in finance domain.
• English into Chinese: software strings, over 0.2 million words.
• English into French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and 20 other languages: over 0.1 million words for controller and printer manuals. Done in Adobe FrameMaker.

B. Indic Language Translation/Localisation

• Translation/Localisation into:
• Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Bengali, Assamese, Urdu, Nepali and Sinhalese.
Case Study
Localisation of display strings and interface in the eight major Indic languages for a major European mobile phone manufacturer
• We applied our experience in the use of Excel-based tool-length checker, as well as Sinhalese input and rendering on the Windows platform. Product testing was conducted onsite at the client's facility in Europe by eight linguists. Innovative thinking is a key issue for evolving languages. Several suggestions were implemented by the client (Indic language keypad, SMSing procedure). An in-country translation company such as Trans Infopreneur would therefore have a better understanding of Indic locale-specific issues. Because Indic languages aren't really conducive to technical translation, terminology is a major challenge. Thus the terms used in media have significant influence on translation for mobile telephony, website globalisation, products aimed at the vernacular market, pharmaceutical documents, etc.
