Added for You - Translation of Internal Reports & Communications
We all love the idea of being our own boss, setting our own working hours and answering to no-one but ourselves. However, many of us are afraid that we don’t have what it takes to be a success. For most of us the fear of failure stops us from following our dreams but I can show you how to turn your dreams into a reality in just six easy steps.Congratulations! You have just tak
When you consider the cost of quality you should consider the costs of not having quality. I believe that the cost of translation of internal reports and communications should be considered similarly. For some organization the issue of translating internal reports will be less important then for others.
But when it is necessary, perhaps the cost is lower then first thought. The translation of internal reports and communications is a regular task and therefore discussion of this with the translation agency should allow improved
Have you always dreamed of owning your own business, having the time and money to visit exotic locations and being able to fly first class? How about starting your own air courier service?If you love traveling, live in or near a city with a large national or international airport, and you have the kind of lifestyle that lets you pick up and go on a moment's notice, then you mi
I have worked at some pretty large international companies and from my own experience most businesses have not adapted to the language needs of the company. In fact most have not localized and translated their mission statement.
What seems to happen is either: 1) the company informally states that there is a single core language of the company and therefore the translation of internal reports and communications is not required. 2) An internal effort is made to ‘translate’ information on an as requested basis.
Let us consider these in turn:
Single Language Company – Trying to pretend that you have a single language company when you don’t, is a ‘head in the sand’ approach. This can lead to some of the following issues:
1) Alienation of staff and divisions.
2) Staff turnover – In addition to (1) the career track of an employee will be linked to their ability to speak the core language rather then whether they are the best person for the job.
3) Poorly communicated objectives. If the objective is not fully understandable by all involved, then how can you expect a 100% fulfillment of the objective?
4) Lack of a common business culture.
Internal Translation – Internal translation is certainly better then no translation at all. But this has its own potential issues:
1) Is the translator capable?
2) Are all the documents translated? And are they translated in time? If the translation of internal reports and communications is a secondary task, does the translation always get carried out on time? / at all?!
3) Confidentiality – Jungle drums (informal communications) always beat strongly inside a company. I have seen that some tasks are more confidential when carried out externally.
4) Is the internal translation carried out at the expense of time spent on another core activity or objective?

Knowledge is not intelligence. Knowledge is something you obtain after repeatedly performing a skill or being trained in a skill. Knowledge has nothing to do with intelligence. You can have an IQ of 212 but you would never have the knowledge about everything there is to know.But how do you obtain knowledge? Do you read books? Do you watch videos and attend seminars? Do you en

Automatic Spanish translation tools are all over the Internet these days and it's easy to see how many people get the false idea that these tools can currently or in the near future will replace professional translators.Well, most people know that these free online Spanish translators are not ideal translators andien shouldn't be entrusted to translate important documents.
