Translating is
not just a matter of replacing words with a
word in another language. Often the text and
the message contain connotations mixed with
a certain message and meaning. Moreover, a
section in a text may refer to one or more
other sections in the same text, thus
casting a certain light on that section. It
should therefore be viewed in the light of
the context rather than as a literal
replacement of words. Hence, we often do not
do not provide literal translations, but
prefer to place them in the overall context,
with the right meaning, using proper
English/Dutch.
Understanding
the meaning and the message of the source
document often requires careful reading
beforehand and in some cases that takes up
more time than the actual translating
itself. A good translation also depends on
the quality of the source document. Our
approach is to carefully read the source and
contact the customer if certain things are
unclear or need further explaining. Only
this way can one ensure that the translation
will convey the message's meaning and its
content correctly. In addition, this
approach has helped our customers on
occasion, to refine their source document.
If you take quality seriously, please
contact us. We will be
glad to answer any questions you have.
