FAQs
What are translation guidelines?
Answer:
Translation guidelines are an essential part of any successful translation project, especially when it comes to major product releases, localization efforts, or ad campaigns. These guidelines provide the project team with instructions and preferences from clients – this valuable information is the key to maintain accuracy and consistency in terms of word choices and brand identity across multiple translations.

What is a Certificate of Translation Accuracy?
Answer:
Certificate of Translation Accuracy is a signed statement of a translator or a translation agency affirming that the translation completely and accurately represents the original document. This certificate adds an important assurance layer to the translation before you proceed with subsequent procedures. A statement of accuracy in translation may be required when you submit your documents to foreign government bodies, financial or educational institutions, etc.

How to get certified translation of divorce certificate services?
Answer:
In Vietnam, you can find certified translation service for your divorce certificate at the Department of Justice and Department of Foreign Affairs but this means making room in your schedule for traveling to and from these locations. A simple and optimal solution would be to choose translation agencies that offer online notarized translation.

What are the differences between authentication and apostille?
Answer:
Both Consular Authentication and Apostille serve to confirm the authenticity of official documents, enabling them to be valid for use in other countries. However, Apostille is only applicable in countries that are parties to the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty. In other countries, Consular Authentication is required.

How do you ensure the quality of your technical translation?
Answer:
High-quality technical translation is a delicate combination of skilled linguists experienced in the relevant technical sectors, an efficient translation workflow, strict quality control, and an additional layer of review provided by industry experts. This model of technical translation delivers final works that are not only faithfully translated but also resonate well with your target audiences.

What is marketing translation?
Answer:
Marketing translation is a unique approach to effectively localizing marketing and advertising content by conveying the original message through a cultural lens. It could be considered a type of creative translation, or transcreation. However, marketing translation may differ from transcreation in terms of the source materials, objectives, and target audience. Our professional Translation + Proofreading Services are available for all form of marketing materials.

What are the best strategies for advertising translation?
Answer:
Advertising translation deals with multiple layers of complexity. A brilliantly translated ad is brief, creative, and resonates well with its target audience. To be well received, an advertising translation must also take into account accompanying audio-visual elements and the channels on which it will be broadcast.

How does general translation differ from other types of translation?
Answer:
As the name suggests, general translation deals with general content that does not include specialized terminology and does not require the translator to have extensive knowledge in any particular industry. On the other hand, creative translation and technical translation, for example, necessitate high levels of creativity and technical expertise. Our professional Translation + Proofreading Services cover a wide range of materials – the ideal choice for general translation, technical translation, and creative translation.

What is journalistic translation?
Answer:
Journalistic translation deals with print and digital newspapers, magazines, and other forms of journalistic publications. It typically involves both the accurate translation of texts and oftentimes, creative redrafting of the journalistic messages to suit specific audiences.

How to maintain the personal touch and professional appeal in a cover letter translation?
Answer:
To make a good impression on international employers, your cover letter needs to be translated and culturally adapted for the specific company and position you are applying for. Consider proper use of both idiomatic expressions and formality to appear professional yet still approachable. Personal branding statements may need to be transcreated. Our professional Translation + Proofreading Services can help you elevate your cover letter with expert translation.
