Website localization is a complex and demanding process. The preferences of website users vary from country to country, so simply translating into a foreign language is not enough. The content, images, and colors on the website are just a few elements that should be adapted to the preferences of the local recipient. Therefore, it is important to work with experienced translators and localization specialists to ensure effective and efficient adaptation to target markets.
Certified translations appear regularly in our work, but unfortunately, it is very often impossible to use the latest translation technologies when performing them.

Conducting certified training is a process consisting of many stages, all the more complicated if the training material and trainers themselves use a different language than the trainees. The training itself, i.e. the visible part of the process, is only a step. First, you need to create a training scenario, select the participants, assess their training needs, schedule meetings, prepare training materials, arrange the final certification test. The key to doing this is choosing a responsible translation agency that will take care of the f translations and interpretation in a professional and collaborative way.

In this way, the entire translation process can be carried out in one place – simply and professionally.
Multilingual projects are by definition more complex than simple source-to-target translations. The project manager has to manage the work of the whole team of translators and proofreaders, from finding the right people, through carefully planning their work to smoothly moving from one stage to the next (translation > proofreading > internal quality control), while keeping track of the agreed delivery deadlines. Sometimes the situation becomes even more complicated, when the client has their own preferences regarding the file format and the method of sending ready translations. That is exactly what happened in this case.
