Practice Makes Perfect

We do believe in the wisdom received by people of many ages, practice makes perfect. For this reason, Imprestige’s experts only take translation jobs in their fields of expertise. When your document is translated by someone who clearly understands it, who could either sit in the chair of its author or those belonging to the target audience based on her knowledge and experience, the difference becomes huge.

We do not only believe but we were fortunate enough to prove that kindly refusing translation offers out of our domains opens the door to offers matching our profile.

Many agencies and freelancers out on the market can offer fast delivery and competitive prices, and what makes us different is domain expertise and experience.

Two Plus Two Sometimes Becomes Five

The ability to correctly interpret source texts and the advanced knowledge of the industry terminology in the source and target language makes us able to recognize when this formula comes true: when two words put next to each other form a phrase the meaning of which is different from the addition of the meaning of the individual words. We do recognize when credit card is intended to denote all kinds of plastic payment cards. We can tell cancelling and reversing an invoice apart. We know that hero in press terminology refers not to Superman. We do know, French fries are, fortunately, made not of French people. And we know a lot more. 🙂

Exploit Your Values

Help yourself to benefit as much as just possible from what you have. Entrust experts to create accurate and grammatical translations matching the style of the intended audience in order to let your customers clearly understand what you offer or what you need. Give your customers the chance to get concise and straightforward instructions in their own language. Give your customers a chance to understand and value your business. One of the keys to international business is the proper language. We can offer you this.

The Triplex, shown in the figure, summarizes our approach and values. It focuses around three pillars translations shall have and the three skills or competences required to build the pillars stable.

• Understanding relies on terminology: Knowledge of the industry terminology of the source and target languages is critical to understand the source content.
• Expressiveness relies on styling abilities: No matter if you understand something but can’ tell it clearly enough. Knowing which tone or register should be used to address the specific target audience and knowing the language of the target audience, as well as the ability to decorate the core message is what makes expressions intelligible.
• Structure relies on grammar: Lack of mastering the grammar of the target language may often result in completely misinterpreted translations. Fail to put a comma at the correct position, and you may find yourself in court. Fail to speak correct grammar, and face the fact, customers will think you must be negligent in other aspect, as well. Just another received wisdom from Hungary: the towel tells what the bathroom is like.

Now take a look at the intersections:

• Combining good terminology and good style results in professional-sounding content.
• Combining good style and good grammar results in native speaking content.
• Combining good grammar with good terminology results in accurate content.

And combining all the three yields the Triplex: accurate and fluent professional translations. Welcome at our table.
