Working environment


We work in a very powerful computerised environment which allows us to obtain considerable productivity gains in matter of translation consistency and document layout generation. You benefit directly from these productivity gains, by getting a full service, including for the supported formats a total original layout preservation, at a standard translation price.



Software

In most cases, we take advantage of an integrated CAT software (Computer Aided Translation: Transit XV (and older v.) from Star http://www.star-group.net) which allows us to use previously translated material as a translation database.
However, we also have Trados Freelance Edition (v. 5.0 to 7.0) (http://www.trados.com) available for those customers who prefer to work with this software suite. Your choice is not limited there since we also offer DéjàVu version 3 and X (http://www.atril.com) and WordFast v 4.2 (http://www.wordfast.net) as alternative CAT tools and also Fusion a recent collaborative tool.
Thus, we can guarantee a perfect translation consistancy throughtout a given document, and even a given customer. The same term, the same expression is always translated in an identical way, which can even be customer specific. Furthermore, to be able to accept all the formats that our customers are using, we are equipped with the main Text, DTP (MS-Word, QuarkXPress, Pagemaker, Framemaker, Indesign, Ventura) and CAD (Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, FreeHand) editing software available. Of course, we also rely on general and specialised dictionaries and encyclopedies among which the famous Encyclopedia Universalis.



Safety

Of course, we feel very concerned by your security. Our LAN is protected by a Firewall programm (Norton) and each computer has its own Anti-virus installed (Norton).
