Text handling

Text handling is our area of expertize where real magic happens. When you order a translation, you usually see the translated text returned only, which is good, because it means that our team worked smoothly and correctly, as always. A fluent text is the product not only of one translator’s efforts. This is achieved by the work of several qualified experts, such as:

• Proofreader checking the text for grammar/spelling errors.
• Editor checking the style of the translated text.
• a translator specialized on a specific topic, or a native speaker who knows the topic of translation (for example, a physician for a medical text, an economist for an economic text, etc.) checking the correct presentation of information .

As a result of the  complex work described above, you get a result in the form of a professionally translated text, without errors, corresponding to the style of the translation topic, with all required explanations of aspects, which are difficult to understand (we accompany our texts with comments for the correct interpretation of the material presented upon request).

«OpenSpace» Translation Agency is teamwork of experts, where each employee knows his job!

As you have understood already, our work is not restricted by pure translation of texts. We would like to offer you the related services that can be ordered as a set or each individually.

Text handling by the «OpenSpace» Translation Agency involves:

• Editing, e. elimination of stylistic errors in the text and verification of terminology. As a rule, this type of work implies only comments regarding controversial issues in the text, but it is for the translator or the customer to decide whether or not to make changes. Thanks to editing, any text acquires “visual beauty” and is read as a single whole work, regardless of the subject matter of the material. It’s like a well-assembled puzzle, where each piece stands in its place. Editing is usually accompanied by proofreading.
• Proofreading, e. “tidying up” of the text for a good perception of the information presented. The proofreader’s work mainly implies the so-called “proofreading” of the material to eliminate grammatical, spelling, and syntactic errors, without the text restructuring or change of its content. You may not notice some inaccuracies, but the trained eye of the proofreader will quickly find and eliminate all the flaws, so that no one can doubt your literacy.
• Typing,e. the digitization of a handwritten medium or printed edition. It would seem that typing on a computer is quite normal at our times, but just imagine a situation when you need to convert not 1 A4 sheet, but a whole manuscript, term paper, diploma or a whole book into electronic format. This task will take you much time, while a professional typesetter will perform the same within several hours to several days, depending on the volume. Besides, we can type the text from various sources, i.e. handwritten, scanned, audio or video record; we will easily digitize tables, drawings, graphs, and diagrams.
• Making-up, e. a beautiful visual presentation of a text on a document page, according to the customer’s instruction. It can be implemented in both simple apps like Microsoft Office Word or Open Office, and in professional editors, including Adobe PageMaker, Microsoft Publisher, CorelDraw, QuarkXPress, or Adobe InDesign. We will prepare the layout for you in printed or electronic format, which you may need, for example, when translating a website, interactive catalogs, presentations, etc.
• Copywriting, e. writing a text from scratch, according to the customer’s instructions. These are advertising texts properly describing positive properties of a product or service. Copywriting often includes writing slogans (naming), scripts for commercials, landing pages, newsletters, i.e. almost any text needed in marketing. Copywriters fluent in foreign languages adapt foreign advertising literature to the local market. SEO copywriting is the writing of an advertising text according to key requests for the further promotion of a product or service by means of contextual advertising etc. Our translation agency is pleased to offer this service to you.
• Rewriting, e. processing of the source text to achieve its uniqueness. Uniqueness meant the recognition of text material by search engines as new and plagiarism-free. Rewriting is a great way to make the selected text easier for the customers to perceive, without losing its informative content. This effect is achieved by replacing words in the text with synonyms that are close in meaning. Often such text may be better than the original ones.

We are always ready to offer you any type of service from our experts on terms favorable to you and will be happy to discuss them in our comfortable office, by phone or email.
