Documentation Translation


The linguists working for Studio Gambit are able to tackle almost all kinds of documents, be it:

  • Technical documentation
  • Product specifications
  • Operating instructions
  • Training materials
  • Legal documents (agreements, warranties etc.) or
  • Marketing brochures

In all cases, our mission is to provide translations that are accurate and understandable to target readers, and at the same time to retain the original style of the particular type of document.

This may be achieved by deploying proven quality assurance procedures at all stages of projects. The basics of our approach include:

People

Our translators are qualified and verified professionals knowledgeable in particular areas. Senior staff responsible for final editing and proofreading of the worked-out materials have proven their aptitude in similar projects. If necessary, a designated team of linguists can consult specialists active in the field, priding themselves on the long-term expertise.

Processes

Compiling a glossary of terms for a project is a must. Translators can access the online issue tracking forum moderated by project terminology coordinators. Side-by-side original/translation comparison is performed. Camera-ready materials or output electronic files are thoroughly reviewed with respect to layout and technical quality.

Technology

For more than 10 years Studio Gambit has been rendering translation services by means of Translation Memory tools, thus preserving terminology consistency and stylistic integrity throughout the entire documentation within the project. Additionally, this practice can considerably lower the costs of subsequent jobs by enabling the re-usage of once translated sentences.

Depending on the client's requirements, Studio Gambit uses either SDL Trados, Idiom WorldServer, Deja Vu, Transit or its own online multi-user TM server: SG Tiger 2. Whenever possible, we apply automatic quality tests run by TM intrinsic features, commercial applications such as QA Distiller, Help QA, HTML QA or our own SG Tools.
