Multilingual Communication

At “Untranslate” we don’t believe that things should be done a certain way just because it’s always been like that.

The name “Untranslate” is inspired by similar business concepts like “unconference” that feature open discussions rather than having a single speaker at the front of the room giving a talk. We adapt this approach to translation. Instead of offering one-size-fits-all services, we look at the purpose of your communication, the intended audience and project parameters like timeframe and budget.

Service levels can be differentiated: we mutually agree the most appropriate production process and quality approach. From fully automated to various combinations of people and technology to translation solely informed by a translator’s deep knowledge of a subject and flair for a specific language. So whether it be reaching out, selling, instructing, explaining or whatever message you want to cultivate, we ensure your communication achieves its goal.

Successful translation requires a clear understanding of goals and unhindered, fit for purpose production flows to unlock the power of communication:

Understand goals

Unlike most other agencies we don’t believe that one approach fits all. That makes us unconventional. We can promise translation in one hour, fast online quotes and even a standard approach to 75 languages.
But first we are interested in understanding the context and purpose of your communication. This way we share our expertise from the outset and help define the right quality, time, process and budget with you. And then set about delivering what is agreed.

Unhinder production

Sometimes translation is an art. At other times translation tasks are repetitive and can at least partially be completed with technology. In some cases full automation is the only viable option.

Whether its web-based workflow, automatic translation, term management, translation memories, filters or connectors to content management, we at Untranslate know these tools through-and-through. We ensure the right choices are made so that the right production process is used for each communication.

Unlock communication

Translation has a simple and important goal of helping people of different languages communicate with each other. On the other hand people want the translation to seem native and not like a translation at all.
Companies often see translation as a cost of doing business. Yet actually translation can unlock your message and open up new markets. Top brands across industry sectors testify to the link between a good multilingual presence and financial performance.
