OUR IN-HOUSE APPROACH

Access the expertise you need

The art of translationToday’s digital and software technologies help us to be faster and more connected. But as translation becomes increasingly characterised by technological innovation, it is important not to lose sight of what we are trying to achieve. We should not overlook the strength of human talent.

And, when you think about it: what makes content, information and communication powerful? The kind that is consumed effortlessly, because it is professional, engaging and intelligent? EVS Translations takes the very best of technology and smart software solutions to support the very best in linguistic talent. Our translators are selected because they have a flair for producing professional written texts, underpinned by solid understanding of the sector in which they specialise. Human translators We nurture linguistic talent through graduate training schemes, on-going internal and external training, and practical solutions including our global I.T. helpdesk. Our translators are all permanent members of staff based at each of our 8 global offices.

Sometimes creating something great doesn’t have to be complicated. For us it starts simply with exceptional human talent.

HOW WE WORK

Quality management and security

Satisfying your set of metrics for a language services provider

Businesses have multiple variables to address when selecting a language services partner. Data security is coming under increased scrutiny and quality management processes are expected to deliver greater reliability and value. Finding a combination of the two creates a powerful solution for business.

Rigorous adherence to processes, which go far beyond ISO 9001:2015 and DIN ISO 17100:2015 quality management standards, by all staff results in consistently successful outcomes both for quality and overall customer satisfaction. But it is the standardisation of processes between our eight offices that brings uninterrupted coverage to your projects and the ability to produce quality at scale.

The security of your data is also paramount. Our dedicated IT department manages data-security

measures in-house and insider lists are maintained according to the EU Market Abuse Regulation, which protect your most valuable assets from misuse. We partner with an ISO 27001 certified data centre based in Germany. EVS Translations complies with national data protection laws in Germany and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

An inability to sustain quality over time and security concerns over confidential information are common reasons for buyers of translation services to lose confidence. We know this, and that is why we have continually invested in both of these areas to ensure absolute service reliability, data security, and on-time delivery according to your requirements. It is a comprehensive approach that will benefit your business.

Innovation borne from over 25 years of problem-solving

As the demand for global communication and

information exchange becomes more complex in

nature, and as pressure continues to translate

more for less, language service providers must

innovate to bring clients high-quality, value-added

solutions. Through more than 25 years of

partnering with global businesses, we have

developed a comprehensive approach to

translation services that covers essential criteria

for robust service delivery.

EVS Translations focuses on four areas to perform

as a strategic partner to global companies.

Technology stack – delivery of technology

solutions to solve specific issues experienced at

different levels of volume demand or localisation

maturity. CAT tools, system integrations,

platforms and machine intelligence – we have

the tools to help you.

Standard services – end-to-end solutions for

print and digital translations, including creation

of print-ready assets and website localisation.

Process innovation – options for process

automation to coordinate and control high

volume demand.

Consulting – actionable insights for businesses

seeking to construct an internal translation

technology architecture or support for

developing a bespoke machine intelligence

system.

Overview

Verify delivery reliability

When translation volumes grow within a company fragmented use of multiple language services providers may occur. Spend becomes difficult to monitor, content assets lose their value through inconsistency, and process innovation is difficult to achieve. But there are two critical elements to producing intelligent translations at scale: professional linguistic skill and robust management of content as it travels through production.

EVS Translations can integrate into your workflows and teams to perform as a dedicated language department for businesses working across multiple international markets and which

experience high-volume translation demand. A dedicated project manager will coordinate our in-house global resources and technology at EVS Translations to ensure process optimisation and quality assurance.

We help clients to design, refine or restructure the processes which are executed throughout the translation project life cycle. Through the integration of translation management software for greater efficiency, the introduction of a project management platform for reduced administrative effort, and by establishing a firm basis for quality control and continuous improvement, we make translation smarter for you.

WEBSITE LOCALISATION AND SEO

Create a better digital experience for your global customers

Engage your digital audience

Delivering an authentic digital experience across international markets requires a sophisticated approach to the localisation process that moves beyond classic translation. This high-visibility content will send a message about who you are as a brand. Done correctly, it creates a more intimate digital experience for your global customers, which may improve engagement and conversion rates.

EVS Translations works with companies at different stages of localisation maturity: whether your business is reacting to market opportunities

or being proactive, we deliver a solution to meet your end goals. Our teams work with your existing Content Management System (CMS) to seamlessly deliver intelligent localised content at scale. We also manage on-going updates, across multiple languages, and streamline this work with all communications and marketing activity. We provide localised and optimised content for social media posts, video content, and email marketing or pay-per-click campaigns.

Be strategic about your digital content – we can show you how.

How you benefit:

■ International Search Engine Optimisation (ISEO) for an improved digital experience ■ Our in-house teams for marketing and SEO copywriting work collaboratively for a complete solution ■ Consistent implementation of your corporate identity and corporate language ■ We work in line with your localisation maturity: from adding an additional language to running a multilingual website

Streamline production

Translation is only one part of a process for

creating a business’ print and digital assets. The

production process grows more complex as

additional design-related solutions for brochures,

manuals and other print media are required.

Package together this production workflow with

EVS Translations to free-up time and resources

while speeding up time-to-market.

Print assets, with full linguistic validation

EVS Translations has evolved and grown over the

past 25 years to deliver end-to-end solutions

perfectly honed to client requirements. This is why

we have one of the biggest in-house desktop

publishing teams in the industry, which works to

provide print-ready solutions. The team recreates

brochures, posters or user manuals across

multiple languages, so that when we deliver your

content, it is ready to go. We use:

■ Adobe Acrobat Professional ■ Adobe Creative Suite: Dreamwaver, Animate ■ FrameMaker, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop ■ Premiere Pro ■ MadCap ■ Microsoft Office, OpenOffice und LibreOffice ■ Web-Format (HTML, XML, PHP, ASP)

"But I'll get our agency to finish the work"

EVS Translations can complete both the translation and DTP work in one carefully integrated workflow.

We have the necessary linguistic and technical

expertise to understand and manage issues that

arise with different languages including unsupported

fonts, excess white space through expansion/

contraction, and line-breaks. This in-house expertise

for DTP plus full linguistic validation of the content in

its final layout, and across multiple languages,

means your print-ready materials have a truly

professional finish.
