Translations

Professional in every language: Syntax translates out of and into more than 40 languages, finely tuned to your own special preferences. In each language, we are familiar not only with the terminologies and text types but also the specific requirements of the prescribed communications media.

All of our translators are carefully selected, experienced specialists who translate into their native language. They have completed studies/undergone specific training and/or have practical experience in a particular field, and are therefore known for their in-depth knowledge of the background to the sector and the related terminology. Our work is shaped not only by regional preferences and a good feel for the different types of text ‒ whether technical, literary, or commercial; we will also take account of the intended communications media and channels.

Regular translators/teams

At Syntax, you can define a regular translator or a team of translators who best fit your needs.

Translations and adaptations are our core business. But you can also call upon our set of complementary language services such as transcription, i.e. the faithful commitment of the spoken word to paper, or live interpreting during the actual event.

Neural machine translation has become essential for Syntax in this area. Machine translation is a part of everyday translation work.

Whether it is better to pre-translate a text using a machine and then have it edited, or to have it translated entirely by a specialist depends on the type of text (social media post, contract, specialist publication, presentation, etc.), the purpose and the target audience. We can provide you with transparent advice regarding the correct solution for your needs and your text.

In addition, Syntax is following the rapid developments in artificial intelligence closely and, where it makes sense, integrating further tools into its service offering.

Quality

Quality is a commitment: certification of the company in line with the international ISO 9001 standard is proof of the priority that Syntax gives to quality and quality assurance. Even stronger affirmation comes from the positive feedback that Syntax receives from the marketplace: above-average customer satisfaction is the logical result of our ongoing commitment to quality in all areas.

As your source texts, preferences and requirements differ, so do the price categories that apply to our services. Our charges are based on working time and/or a standard line count, or derived from set-fee and retainer agreements.

Copy editing & quality assurance

It’s a fact! Four eyes are better than two. Copy editing by Syntax guarantees that your texts are complete and correct. It also provides that final polish while making sure that the texts we translate are stylistically fit for purpose.

Proofreading & final check

Better safe than sorry: proofreading at Syntax assures the quality of the language on the surface of a text. As part of the final check, we inspect your documents just before they are published.

Terminology & glossaries

The uniform use of language is important, and adds value: depending on your requirements and instructions, Syntax will take care that the use of your company’s terminology and linguistic style ‒ the so-called corporate language ‒ is consistent. The use of translation memory systems (CAT tools) will boost quality, uniformity and efficiency in the translation workflow.
