Translation:

The text is translated, edited and reviewed by a professional translator with experience in the subject field.
When requested as a stand-alone service, a professional linguist with a degree in translation translates the text, following client specifications and our translation standards and internal QA process. This service may be used for draft-translation, when the purpose of the translation is just to know the general meaning, and there are no specific stylistic needs.

Editing

This includes editing by a professional linguist of existing translations completed by other linguists. The English and Spanish are compared sentence by sentence to make sure there are no mistranslations, omissions, additions or other mistakes.
No stylistic changes are made.

DTP

This service involves typesetting the translated text following the original text layout.
Output may be ready to print or proof by the client.
We provide multilingual-multimedia desktop publishing services in the most common writing scripts of the world. We are proficient in languages with double byte characters as Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Besides, we work comfortably with Right to Left languages such as Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Hebrew and Yiddish adapting Roman formatted documents to the RTL reading (RTL page format and also RTF binding of the entire publication).
