It’s all In The Translation
Sometimes the right word can make all the difference. If I hadn’t already been convinced of that, blogging and blog surfing surely would have shown me the light. Whether the author of a non-English blog does the translation or I chose to translate their blog in order to read it confusion almost always ensues. Free, automatic online document translation services are notoriously poor.
Knowing this it makes sense that if you, like my friend Paulo, need a legal document translated you need to contact a quality professional document translator who will ensure that your document is translated clearly and correctly. You don’t ever want to leave the translation of your important documents to chance.
Professional document translators do more than just swap words in one language for words in another. A professional will take the meaning of the words, phrases, and sentences into account so that the resulting document still has the same meaning. Often in a professional service your document will be checked by more than one person, and will be checked for accuracy of meaning and intent ensuring that the translated document reads just a professionally as the original.
Too bad the free online services don’t take half this level of care in translation, the word for word translations that they produce are at best laughable, and at worst garbled giberish no one has any hope of understanding.
