TECHNICAL  TRANSLATIONS

D&L excels at professional, high quality technical translation and document management. A translated technical publication must accurately reflect the content and meaning of the source language document and read as if it were originally written in the target language. To achieve this goal, we apply the following principles:

• Style must flow between sentences and paragraphs
• Meaning must be retained, but not how meaning is expressed
• Syntax of target language must be used
• All key words must be present
• Solutions must be found to transfer idiomatic expressions and plays on words between languages

We understand the value of quality work. Review cycles, including a final visual QA, ensure that the translated publication matches the formatting standard of the original document in every respect before it is released.

Turnaround is another important aspect of a project. We will work closely with your tech pubs department or development team to make sure that we understand and agree on the timeline before work commences.

D&L completes complex technical translation projects by the following:

• Project managers that excel in handling and understanding large, multilingual document production
• Desktop publishing expertise in many DTP softwares
• Expert translation teams
• Stringent Quality Assurance protocols
• Use of Translation Memory systems
• Glossary Development
• Independent editing teams

With years of experience in technical translation, D&L can translate documentation for almost any product, but we focus on subjects such as semiconductors, audio equipment, optical systems, network security, telecommunications hardware and software, and computer hardware and software.

MULTILIGUAL DESKTOP PUBLISHING

D&L is specialist in a wide variety of digital document publishing for Catalogs/Brochures, Newsletters, Technical/User Manuals, and  Reports.

WEB LOCALIZATION

Key elements of successful website localization:

• Localization
• English into Portuguese content support
• English into Portuguese site maintenance

Localization

This process entails translating relevant software and adapting the user interface to work with a specific language.

 English into Portuguese Content Support

In addition to language translation, creating a cultural adaptation, adjusting site content to the needs of the target market, maintaining quality of content, cultural relevancy, and a distinct corporate identity.

  English into Portuguese  Site Maintenance

Web content is not static; frequent updates must be rapidly localized. This requires the ability to organize, track, and synchronize changes. Our translation memory database accommodates site updates and facilitate simultaneous site releases.
