Bridging the Language Gap
Straight From the Source
BLUE DANUBE began life as a translating agency, and we still work closely with translators, editors, and partner language agencies throughout Europe. Thanks to these close working relationships, you get:
- Translations by native speakers, fully immersed in their country's social, economic, and linguistic environment
- Access to top-level expertise in your field
- Comprehensive quality assurance, even for uncommon languages
- Strict adherence to deadlines and budgets, even for complex multi-language projects
- Responsiveness to your changing language service needs
- All at rates that won't break your budget.
For maximum accuracy and idiomatic authenticity, we generally work with partners in the countries where the target language is spoken. For translations into English, or when extra security or ultra-fast turnaround is essential, we also work with translators in the United States and Canada.
Focus on Quality
Translation quality is a complex topic involving questions of accuracy, style, and consistency and requiring close cooperation between the document author or principal, the translator, and one or more editors or proofreaders. In many cases, further individuals may also be responsible for layout, typesetting, Web design, or other steps in the production of the final target-language document.
By concentrating on one region, BLUE DANUBE deals with a manageable number of languages. This allows us to implement an exceptionally rigorous quality assurance system for each of the languages we work in. This means you can be confident of receiving outstanding linguistic, technical, and customer service quality.
We take great care to select the best-qualified translators for each project, then carefully review and proofread every translation before submitting it to you. Depending on the project, quality assurance may also involve steps like consulting with your own in-house experts or with in-country specialists, compiling project glossaries, or verifying file formats and character encodings.
At BLUE DANUBE we are continually working to expand our capabilities and refine our processes in order to meet our client's needs in the most effective way. In addition to the linguistic quality of our translated texts, we also emphasize technical quality (compatible file formats, fonts, and character encodings; good word processing or DTP technique, etc.) and customer service (responsiveness, convenience, reliable deadlines and budgets, choice of delivery options, etc.).
