How we do it:

Many companies are just beginning to discover the benefits of a well prepared off shore marketing strategy. Alternate sources of revenue are often left unrealized due to the perceived "complexity" of a given foreign language market. Verbatim has discovered a way to allow companies to remove much of the risk from such a venture.

Certification by government and professional agency databanks ensures the proper use of the correct terminology in every case.

The best translation reference materials and tools are expensive and therefore most freelance translators are not able to stay current with the latest versions of each databank, research tool, and translation memory software and terminology reference library tool. At Verbatim, since we deal with multiple translators, we employ the latest server technology to ensure that not only are these tools available, but they can be securely shared by each and every translator working on a project using password protected encrypted files so that your sensitive information is protected. This way, the translator, professional proofreader and industry quality analyst can all have access to the same information and notes used by each other. This ensures that consistent use of the same terms are deployed throughout, not only on a single translation, but as with any subsequent multiple translations that may be used by the client with similar products.
