“How to” series: Being friends with in-house translators

translators_friends

Dealing with our potential clients, we often face the situation “We don’t need your services, we’ve got our in-house translator(s)”.

OK, fine. It’s a good option indeed, especially for the companies that have:

  • A constant flow of standard translation jobs, for example: translation of user manuals or interpretation at business meetings with clients/suppliers within one language pair;
  • A possibility to select such a specialist competently and to control the process of his/her work;
  • A wish and a financial possibility to keep this specialist as a member of the staff, although translation is not the company’s core business.

For all the other cases it’s easier and more cost-effective to assign all translation-related jobs to an outsourcing partner. Why?

Our creative friends from Province Design Studio

Let’s think of some worldwide known brands. What comes into your mind first? Four ceiling rings as a car’s symbol, a yellow “M” against a red background, an apple with a bite taken out of it… and many other images that are kept in people’s mind. Creating design for brands of every kind is exactly what our partners and friends from Province Design Studio do. We are pleased to tell about our fascinating cooperation with these talented guys :)

“How to” series: Competing with Google :)

“Hi there. Can you help us understand what our Chinese partners want from us?”

“Let’s see… Wow, what is that???”

“Well, we used to communicate with them using Google Translate. But now we’re stuck”

Not a rare occasion for us. Some customers tend to save on professional translation services and use Google Translate instead. Their wish to cut costs and adhere to modern technologies is rather understandable. To tell you the truth, we also use Google Translate for our personal needs sometimes. But there are situations where it just doesn’t work.

When is it acceptable?

Siberia became a real attraction for numerous sportsmen in the last summer month, since it hosted an international cultural and sports event called Rafting Forum “White Water of Siberia – 2016” that was held in Tomsk and Altay regions. Foreign participants were accompanied in this adventure by Russian rafting devotees and a team of volunteer interpreters selected by Lingvista.
