Global expansion of Trad Online: a translation agency launched in Spain

Boulogne, October 8 2009 – Trad Online, a language services company, continues its globalization plan by opening a translation agency in Barcelona, Spain.

Fait accompli! After a recruitment phase in early 2009, followed by a preparation phase of the website and management and sales processes with the new local manager during the summer, Trad Online launched its operation in Spain.

The company will offer its range of translation and interpretation services in Spain. The new entity will have Trad Online’s brand, and like in Italy, will manage a local website, a portfolio of local clients and will benefit from operational synergies and costs with France and Italy.

Eloy Leytte, the new local manager for Spain, in charge of day-to-day operations and marketing of services, appears confident in spite of the economic downturn: “I am happy about this partnership which I hope will quickly show good sales results. We have already done many projects for clients when the website was not yet completed which I think is a very good sign.  I hit on immediately with the French team of Trad Online and the corporate culture suits me well: independence, responsiveness, innovation or daring, depending on the subject, I think we are going to work well in Spain!”.

The new entity’s website: http://www.tradonline.es

Mathieu Maréchal, CEO of Trad Online, commented on this new development: “Trad Online is looking to expand into other European markets by adapting its French model which can be summarized by: Customer proximity, technological innovation and flexibility to meet demand. We recruited Eloy for his versatile and multilingual profile and his professional experience spanning several European countries.  Eloy will be responsible for managing the Spanish branch and we are confident that despite the downturn, Spanish clients will recognize our value.

German is a leading global language, which is spoken by about 100 million people. It has asserted itself to be the third largest language in which books are published. In regards to scientific journals, it is the second language after English used for publishing. Moreover Germany is home to many multinational giants like Siemens, Audi, Bayer, Mercedes Benz and Volkswagen. The country also houses SAP, the world’s first enterprise resource software. Due to this, Germany’s importance in world economy has been undisputable. As a result, there has been a sharp demand in the need for German translation services throughout the world.

Choosing the right German translation service company:

To capitalize on the demand for the German translation services, many companies have started offering German translation to their clients. However there is no standard regulating the services offered by these companies. This can create confusion amongst those who are looking to hire a translation company for the first time. If you are in this dilemma, use these pointers to get the best deal from the translation company.

• Does the translation company have certificates to prove its high standards of service? These certificates could be ISO 9001 or EN 15038, to denote the best practices followed by the company.
• Does the translation company employ domain experts with suitable experience in their field? E.g. if you are planning to translate any engineering documents, the company should have relevant engineer as any error in technical translation can turn out to be costly.
• Does the translation company employ native speakers? If the translation is done by those who are born German speakers, the final quality of output will be far superior to the one give by non-native speaker.
• What are the client experiences about translation company’s services? Are they happy with the quality of the service provided by the company? Did they get timely service?
• Does the translation agency support the software and hardware format that you want translation done in? E.g. if you want the translated document in Excel 2000 for Windows XP, does the company provide it?
• Are you planning to outsource translation services to overseas company? If so, are they accepting the payment by your preferred mode of payment? Some companies may not accept Paypal or Western Union for receiving payment.

These are some simple yet most important questions that you should get answers to in order to get the best from translation service company.

Translation services have become a rage with many companies and people trying to get their websites, books and documents translated. This has helped them reach out to people speaking diverse languages. However the question that comes up is: how should one select a right translation service company? If you are on the lookout for the right translation service company, here are some important criteria that you should consider:

· Check if the translation service company has the native speaker of the language on it payroll: This is a very important factor as there is a big difference between the translation done by a native speaker of the language and others. Find out if the company you have shortlisted for your translation work employs native speakers of the language.

· Find out if the translation service company has domain experts: Domain means the field of specialization of your document. So if you want to get legal or medical documents translated, the person translating them should have a basic understanding of medical or health terms. Check if your shortlisted company has such experts on board.

· Look at the company’s performance: Find out what other clients have to say about the company. Has the company been able to meet its deadlines successfully? Was the quality of translated work very good? Did the company charge extra for any alterations to the final documents? All these questions need to be answered while selecting a translation service company.

· Find out if the rates are competitive: While the lowest rates may not assure you a quality product, it is equally important that the rates should not be very high, as they can be very expensive for you in case the volume of work is very large. The rates should be competitive, so that you can get quality work without having to pay a fortune.
