FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Anything else? Write to office@serious.ro.

Which file formats can you translate?

Office documents, PDF and scans (made editable first), InDesign, FrameMaker, XML, HTML and many other formats used by CAT tools. You get the translation back in the same format.

How do you keep terminology consistent?

Your glossary and earlier documents go into a translation memory kept for your company. QA software then checks terms, numbers and consistency across the whole project.

Do repeated texts cost less?

Yes. We count repetitions and similar sentences with CAT tools before the offer, so manuals and updated versions cost noticeably less.

Who translates and checks my documents?

A translator who is a native speaker of the target language and works in your field. A second linguist, never the translator, then revises the text against the original, and automated QA checks catch number, terminology and consistency errors.

How do you protect confidential documents?

Every linguist signs a confidentiality agreement, access is granted per project and our processes are certified to ISO/IEC 27001. On request, we delete your files right after delivery.

Will you meet my deadline?

The delivery date is written in the offer. In our last 1,000 projects for corporate customers we did not miss a single agreed deadline.
