To protect your reputation

A faulty translation can not only cause you to lose a growth opportunity but can cause much worse damage: to your reputation.

In the best case scenario poor quality translation can provoke hilarity, but it can create the impression of a similarly poor quality of work on the part of the person communicating. And thus to an impression that their products and services are of equally poor quality. In the worst case, real marketing crsises can be created, with significant repercussions on sales.

To convey the right message

The basic accuracy of a translation is not enough. The code of language exists in a cultural context which determines its meaning. To be sure of conveying the right message you need a translation that takes into account the cultural aspects of its target audience, and that reproduces it in terms of style and content.

Because communication between human beings should not be left to machines

Machines are fast but, although they have attained good levels of accuracy in translation, they will never be able to handle sarcasm, humour, irony, word play, or the subtle difference between one tone of voice and another. They will never be able to understand nuances, they are machines. And so it is better to leave the sensitivity of a human being at the helm.

Because a good translation is a lot more than a simple substitution of words

Whatever the translation or interpreting service most suitable for your needs, one thing is certain: it will never be a simple substitution of words from one language to another.

Whether it’s a matter of opening up new markets, of business opportunities, of personal opportunities, or of research and knowledge development, trusting a human translator with conveying your ideas from one language to another will add value to them and help your business succeed.
