Translation of a children’s book

Fairy tales accompany us from the moment we are born. Told to us at bedtime, passed from generation to generation, and may be also written down. Their function is not only to cheer up and teach, but also to show the truth about the world. This is why translating a fairy tale is quite a challenge. Creative translation meets very high expectations, as it is not a literal translation.

Producing a computer game is not an easy task, as you have to control many issues. These include the programming side of the project, the plot, the entertainment mechanisms, the difficulty levels, the graphics, etc. If you are planning to release the game on many markets, then it is also worth considering another issue: the language versions that positively affect the reception of the game in the target markets.

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.

Organizing a meeting involving people from many countries is a difficult undertaking, one that requires the resolution of many details. It is easy to forget about a seemingly small yet crucial issue. This is the kind of thing we need to consider in the preparation of documentation in the appropriate language versions.

The client was a video game producer and publisher who was just setting up in the industry, a company created by Polish gaming and gameDV veterans who were preparing a new cyberpunk computer game. Work on the game is still ongoing – the company wants to prepare the various language versions before the official premiere, allowing them to simultaneously enter several international markets.

We had a new translation request from an IT company – one of the largest IT academies in Poland, featuring the best specialists and trainer-practitioners in their field. The company provides professional courses for developers and also organises conferences and meetings that bring together the entire IT community. It exists in a continual development phase, with newer and more popular technologies as well as global trends towards more innovative products on the market, meaning that they continually need to maintain their competitiveness and their own growth models. In such a fast-paced business, they are often faced with the need to translate documents, and a key consideration in the decision to commission a translation is a quick deadline.

Running an international company and establishing business relationships with contractors from around the world involves, for example, the need to adapt your offer to the specific target audience. In this regard, translations are essential, as they enable smooth and uninterrupted communication between businesses. However, it may occur that a potential foreign contractor has specific expectations regarding industry-specific terminology, which might require the Polish company to align all of its (previously translated) texts with the new guidelines. Even in such a scenario, rest assured that our clients can rely on our support. We are extremely flexible and we can also help you with updating a text that has been already translated.
