Our documentation management system ensures an accurate structure, maintenance and communication of documents. Our clients can benefit from this process which enhances the creation and maintenance of contents and their storage.An efficient documentation management system provides important time saving and translation cost reductions. The creation of a client-specific terminology database avoids the proliferation of versions with inconsistent and incorrect terminology. Project managementOnce clients have chosen for us to manage their translation project, an internal process is triggered which will have much to do with the quality of the final product. This process is carried out by experts in the specific subject areas. Our team includes translators, linguists and experts with ample experience in various industries. They ensure that our stringent quality control measures are kept throughout the process (glossary creation, translation, revision and DTP).All these stages are managed by the project manager, who is tasked with overseeing the entire operation, step by step, keeping the company informed of every detail. Direct collaboration with clients, partners and distributors is also a staple of Quicksilver’s project management philosophy, and it equips us to offer efficient results that meet your needs. Our experience has also taught us that this is one of the most important factors in generating a level of trust in the final documents and in minimising frustration. Large, multilingual projectsOur track record bears witness of our aptitude for working with complex, multilingual projects. We offer parallel management of translations into multiple languages, working with professional linguists and the most efficient translation tools available.We are experienced in working to tight deadlines and are also used to the type of global coordination that comes with multilingual projects. We underscore the importance of meeting every deadline, and our organisation and flexibility make us reliable. The quality of a complex project, such as a website or extensive technical manuals, depends on a close interplay between linguistic expertise and the technical tools we contribute. We give our all to achieve the desired results. Print-ready resultsAt Quicksilver we offer a comprehensive service so that our clients can relax and trust in the thoroughness of our work. We take care of every detail to free our clients from the trouble of having to deal with various providers at once. We offer hassle-free solutions to all your printing needs.No matter what your needs may be, we can handle them (translation, editing, review, updating, DTP), and we can even deliver proofs directly to the printer. This way, the documentation is under the careful watch of linguists at every stage, and errors typically introduced in the stages prior to printing are greatly reduced. Your documentation will be in good hands from start to finish. TranscriptionConverting audio files into text requires, like any translation, a high degree of linguistic competence and general cultural knowledge. The same expertise we apply to our translation work goes into our transcription service. Quality is thus guaranteed. We also have state-of-the-art software tools that help us attain the highest quality results with top efficiency and speed.We work with digital audio formats (MP3, WMA, WAV, DVD, etc.), be they interviews, thesis, chats, speeches, conferences involving one or more speakers in any language or language combination. We combine transcription with translation as well, so that clients wishing to translate a conference or their corporate video into 20 languages can do so seamlessly. Sworn translationSworn translation involves the translation and certification of a document by a professional authorised explicitly by the government body entitled to do so (in Spain it is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs). Sworn translators swear to the veracity of the translated document and deliver it, in every case, on special paper, sealed and stamped accordingly.Sworn translations are usually necessary when presenting documents (certificates, contracts, academic reports, medical reports, patents, etc.) to the Government, universities or other entities that may require it. Quicksilver Translate boasts a vast network of duly acredited and experienced sworn translators. |
