"Working with Caroline is a guarantee of accuracy and professionalism.Together, we have developed the company's technical glossary, which she looks after and constantly updates, in order to strengthen the company's identity in all our communications."Monica D’Emidio, Communications Manager, L&L Luce&LightIf quality is important to you, and you’re proud of your product, you’ll want customers to feel proud they chose it.That’s the successful journey we all hope for, and the first step on the way is usually top-quality marketing materials. Are you presenting your company as well as you can?Of course, you’ve spent a lot of time considering that question and honing marketing copy in your own language. But it’s all too easy to undermine that hard work with a second-rate English version. That can have serious consequences, especially in today’s global marketplace, where customers’ first contact with your product may well be through your online English descriptions. Some translations are plain sloppy, full of grammatical errors, poor idiom or poor terminology. Many more are technically accurate but read terribly – they just don’t have the same flair as the original version.I make sure the quality of your products is reflected in your English-language marketing materials.Translation agencies may promise you quality, but their business model revolves around outsourcing. They can't always guarantee a consistently high standard of work, no matter what they say. Chances are it won’t always be the same person working on your account, and the skill levels of agency translators vary a great deal. There are many advantages to working directly with a translator of proven quality. Without a middleman, communication is a lot smoother. And I know from experience how much more engaged I feel when I’m dealing directly with a client. You have the knowledge that enables me to do a first-rate job, and, because you’re passionate about what you do, you’re genuinely pleased when the results are spot-on. That makes my work significantly more rewarding, so everyone’s happy. Contact me to find out more: translations@carolinedurant.co.uk; http://carolinedurant.co.uk/
