who do you work with?
We work with businesses of all sizes to help them reach their audiences around the world. We have experience working with the automotive, travel & tourism, and manufacturing sectors, three dynamic global industries, but whatever your industry or size, we’d love to hear from you and see if we can help you with your next language related project.
do you use ai or machine translation tools?
At Lingua Studios we have the right professional talent as well as the latest tech to ensure we can deliver accurately and efficiently on any project.
For longer technical texts we use machine translation and human post-editors to increase speed and cost-effectiveness. We also use translation memory software which allows us to provide discounts for larger pieces of text with repeated technical terminology and this translation memory will also ensure consistency across all of your content.
For less technical, more creative content we use human translators whose goal is not to translate word for word but to ensure the original message is conveyed with no loss of nuance or emotion.
what's the difference between translation, localisation, and transcreation?
Translation is the process of converting words from one language to another. Localization is the process of adapting a product or service to meet the language, cultural, and other specific requirements of a particular country or region. Transcreation is a combination of translation and localization where the content is adapted to the target culture and audience, not just translated word for word. It is a creative process where the translator takes the meaning and spirit of the source text and recreates it in the target language, making changes to idioms, tone, and cultural references as necessary. In reality it doesn’t matter what you call it. We take a fully customised approach to every single project we work on and assemble the right team to deliver great results, every time.
what's the turnaround time?
We aim to work as quickly as possible and commit to never missing a deadline. From receiving your initial enquiry we endeavour to provide a quote within one hour, and will be fully transparent with how long each job will take, providing regular progress updates and being available 24/7 on your preferred method of communication.
