Are you wondering how we can REALLY be specialised in so many technical fields?
The answer is simple:
Our experience (20 years in the profession) and collaboration with a community of specialised linguists!
Did you know?
When you request our services, you can send us additional documents, glossaries or instructions so that your specific vocabulary can be implemented.
It will then be saved in our terminology databases to ensure harmony between your different multilingual documents.
Your documents are handled by linguists
Because automatic translators are far from being experts!
Your profession has its own specific vocabulary. Technology is constantly improving and great progress has been made in the field of automatic translation. Nevertheless, human beings still have undeniable advantages over the machine in terms of:
Fluidity
- the style and the harmonisation of a text promote fluent reading
- sentence structure and sequence improve comprehension and the pleasure of reading
Adaptation
- the messages are written to take into account the target language's uses
- the style and wording are adapted to the communication medium (length, language level of the reader, etc.)
Harmonisation
- over time and with updates, your documents remain consistent
- our linguists can inform you of any errors and inconsistencies in your source texts
Terminology
- a vocabulary adapted to your field of activity is used by our multilingual experts
- we work together to establish terminology that is appropriate for you
Interaction
- the work is carried out according to your objectives, in keeping with your instructions
- we do not hesitate to ask you questions to make decisions adapted to your needs
Post-editing, which involves human/machine "collaboration", has appeared on the linguistic market in the last few years and is now developing significantly. In practice, post-editing is the revision by a professional linguist of a text translated by an automatic translation engine.
As the result of machine translation is of random quality, it is necessary to call upon a professional to review the machine translation and correct errors and inaccuracies in order to improve its quality.

As you will have understood, we work with digital tools to optimise our work but our services are provided by qualified and experienced linguists to guarantee you optimal quality which lasts!
Your data is protected
And it remains confidential because we value your serenity
We attach great importance to the protection of all the data we collect. We have put in place several measures to enable you to use our services with complete peace of mind:
IT security
internal engagement
formalised confidentiality
IT security:
- Secure servers
- Outsourced daily backup
- Anti virus
- Firewall

Internal engagement:
- All team members sign a health and safety charter in which they undertake to lock their workstations as soon as they leave them, not to insert USB media on their computers, only consult secure websites, not to click on attachments or suspicious hypertext links....
- All computer sessions are protected by an initialised password known only by their users. These passwords are regularly changed.
- Only people who work on your projects have authorised access to them.
- All your projects remain dematerialised.
In addition to being part of our CSR approach, these measures allow us to physically protect your data.
Formalised confidentiality:
- All our employment contracts include a confidentiality clause to protect information about our clients, their projects and documents.

- Upon request, we formalise our commitment by sending you a signed confidentiality agreement.
Data is the core of our business.
We have focused on complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (G.D.P.R.) implemented in May 2018.
We regularly participate in workshops and training sessions in order to better protect your data.

Here is a real example

How is that possible? Thanks to C.A.T. software.
Too often confused with machine translation (MT), computer-aided translation (CAT) is in fact a tool to assist translation.
It allows the translation to be optimised without taking the place of the linguist.
The use of CAT software has many advantages, both for linguists and for you!
The main advantages of CAT:
- Text analysis: quoting to the nearest word
When you need a quote for a translation or a proofreading, our CAT software analyzes your text and counts the number of words, repetitions and terminology feedback from translation memories... This analysis allows us to provide you with a precise quote that corresponds exactly to the work to be done.
- Update and implementation of translation memories and glossaries: only new sentences are invoiced
Translation memories are enriched as the work progresses. During the following translations, the translator finds the parts of sentences he/she has already translated using the CAT software. In addition to guaranteeing terminological consistency between each translation, this implementation allows us to invoice only for changes and new features in your text.
- Real-time translation propagation: optimise lead times while ensuring optimal quality
When the linguist translates sentences that appear several times in your text, they are automatically propagated further in the document. This means that the linguist does not need to retype, copy-paste or translate them again. This avoids mistakes and saves time.

Optimisation |

Our CAT software is constantly updated so that for each order you place, you will:
- capitalise on previous AND future translations
- optimise your budgets
by capitalising on my future translations
and by optimising my budgets (not bad!)
