Working Definition of Translation Translate: to transfer the meaning of text written in one language to text written in another language while preserving the semantic and lexical values of the source (original) language and respecting the syntactic, lexical and semantic values of the target (resultant) language. The translation process involves the rendition of lexical items (words) and appropriate rendition of syntax (grammar) and semantics (meaning). __________________________________________________________________________ MOSAIC Translation Services can translate any document from:

__________________________________________________________________________ Step-by-step Translation Process The following step-by-step process may be altered to suit the unique needs of each of our clients.
__________________________________________________________________________ Personal translation services include regular service (five working days) and rush service (minimum two working days). Same-day service is also available, depending on the language combination. Walk-in clients receive a free cost estimate, 65 per cent of which is required as a deposit.

__________________________________________________________________________ Legal and legal aid translation services include regular service (five working days) and rush service (minimum two working days). Same-day service is also available, depending on the language combination. Legal aid translations are only available through regular service. __________________________________________________________________________ Working with the latest Windows and OS operating systems, as well as a variety of PC and Mac applications, we can typeset in 40 alphabets and a variety of formats – from text to eps files. __________________________________________________________________________ Translated documents can be provided in standard-text format, which includes the same paragraph breaks and bold/italicized words as the original text. In addition to a hard copy, you may request a Mac- or IBM-compatible electronic file of the translation in a common word- processing program. Please note: for languages containing character sets (fonts) other than UNICODE, this option may not be available. __________________________________________________________________________ Translated documents can be formatted to mimic their source. Foreign-language text is formatted to match its source text as closely as possible. In-house proofing ensures texts have been placed correctly. Supply an electronic file in a compatible application supported by original artwork and fonts and we’ll use it as a template into which the translated text will be dropped. Final layouts are provided as electronic files in the program of your choice* or in PDF or artwork format, along with a PDF proof for your approval. *Please note: for languages containing character sets (fonts) other than UNICODE, this option may not be available. __________________________________________________________________________ For an extra cost (50 per cent of the cost of the translation component in the project), an independent translator will proofread the translated document. __________________________________________________________________________ Our full translation rate applies to each individual card when all the cards are different. A reduced rate for each consecutive card applies when all the cards are identical, except for the name and position of the cardholder. For Japanese business cards, please include an organization tree depicting the hierarchy of the company from the CEO to the cardholder, as well as his/her exact function within the company. For Chinese cards, please specify in what parts of the world the cards are to be distributed, so we can produce them in traditional or simplified characters. If the cardholder already has a Chinese translation of his/her name, it should be provided. __________________________________________________________________________ We have developed the following steps to ensure strict quality-control:
If we are handling the final production (formatting and layout) of the translated document, an additional proofing step of the layout is included. __________________________________________________________________________ We will try to accommodate requests for revision or updating of materials produced in the past. We are, however, limited by changes in technology, software and personnel. __________________________________________________________________________ MOSAIC protects the confidentiality of all professionally acquired information, disclosing such information only when properly authorized or legally/professionally obligated to do so. The confidential nature of our relationship with clients is also respected. We refuse to divulge any confidential information to any person(s) without the knowledge and consent of the client, and we only record information essential to the job. Our translators (sub-contractors) are contractually bound to treat any work assigned by MOSAIC during and after its performance as confidential, as well as any information to which they become privy as a result of performing the sub-contracted work. __________________________________________________________________________ Complimentary estimates are offered upon receipt of a copy of the materials to be translated. For prompt service, mail, courier, fax or e-mail us. Preparing a budget for your project?
