Low cost translations™ Ltd: Premium quality professional translation services by a translation agency in all languages, English to French, French to English, English to Chinese and more

It is a review report that each of our second editors send to the project managers along with the client deliverable version of the edited translation. This report prepared based on the 22-point quality control checklist is a company private document that tells our project managers the number and kind of serious errors and mistakes made by a given translator; it also tells project managers how cooperative the translator has been over the editing process.

Though company private, the Quality Certificate™ can be shared with the client if he so wishes. It necessarily bears the indication Deliverable, which means the translation complies with good practices and with the desiderata of the client. Low Cost Translations™ Ltd uses this certificate to optimise the quality of its human resources.A translator wins or loses our confidence depending on whether the reports on his output are good or bad.

• A simple grammatical error in your source text as in its translated version may cast doubt on the quality of the product you offer, tarnish your corporate identity, or impede understanding of the messages, instructions or ideas you want to convey. Now, think of how devastating the consequences of the presence in translation of wrong jargon, of cases of mistranslations, omissions, confusing and meaningless sentences, etc. can be. A good translation does not impede the commercial acceptance of your products; thanks to its grammatical and stylistic neatness and as well to as its jargon accuracy, it drives your ideas home by giving them an invaluable persuasive touch. Always remember that accuracy of expression leads to persuasion and that to persuade is to sell.
• It is perilous to choose a translation service provider (agency, company, individual) mainly based on rate considerations. An aircraft worth USD 282 million once crashed because of a mere translation error. Hundreds died on the same occasion. This means that your name, your corporate identity, your safety, the commercial success of your product, and the conveyance of your instructions, messages and ideas heavily depend on the quality of your texts. It is wise and useful to consider the skills of the translation services provider before considering what he charges.
• Translation is one of the most complex, demanding and sensitive human activities. To translate is first of all to master the specific rules of grammar, the lexicology, spelling, punctuation and mechanics, conventions, semantics, pragmatics, stylistics and two languages. Then to translate is to have a thorough knowledge of the jargon of a number of disciplines and fields of activities, as well as sound terminology research skills that help find and use only the most appropriate terms. It requires the ability to check, double-check, consult, probe, gauge, make certain, and decide in order to say in language B what is said in language A (sometimes in a more or less impenetrable style) without addition, without omission, without awkwardness, unequivocally, quite faithfully and very naturally. Finally, to translate is to master a set of equally sophisticated translation aids technologies that help ensure textual and terminological consistency.
• Translation is a fully-fledged profession with full-time professionals. It is a trade whose practitioners are always behind the scenes; it wears them out as well.

• I, founder and CEO of Low Cost Translations™ Ltd, hereby declare on my word of honour that my company is up to all it promises its customers and its employees, that it has noble objectives, and that it operates in the highest regard of the interests of its partners and in full compliance with the Cameroonian and international laws.

• Certify that the information, contact information, and other figures and statistics provided on this site are accurate.

  Undertake to ensure that no officer, employee, or subcontractor of Low Cost Translations™ Ltd engages in acts or manoeuvres aimed at deliberately concealing a defect likely to impact the final utility of work delivered to clients of Low Cost Translations™ Ltd.

• Represents and warrants that the assurances given to clients and translators of Low Cost Translation™ Ltd are firm, that the work delivered to clients has no deliberately concealed defects, and that translators and staff are well-paid and treated with respect.
• I undertake to ensure that Low Cost Translation Ltd does not resort to any act or manoeuvre in order to facilitate or favour the recruitment of certain human resources at the expense of others on the basis of racial, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender, ideological, and other similar discrimination criteria.

• Because Low Cost Translations™ Ltd does not want to feature on the long blacklists of criminal outsourcers because of customers who pay late, who go bankrupt or who vanish into thin air once they are delivered translations. We are an honest translation company. Our corporate identity should never be tarnished in specialized forums and social networks by our collaborators because we have paid them late or not paid them at all due to a purported or actual bankruptcy or evaporation of one of our clients.
• Because Low Cost Translations™ Ltd is just as much committed to delivering excellent translations to its clients as to the well-being of its freelance translators, reviewers, terminologists and employees. These are women and men who make a living of their trade and who have bills to pay at the end of each month. Low Cost Translations™ Ltd will never grieve or irritate any of its translators, reviewers, terminologists, and employees because it has paid them late or not paid them at all due to a purported or actual bankruptcy or evaporation of one of its clients.
• Because to live up to the challenge of delivering high quality translations at low costs, Low Cost Translations™ Ltd contents itself with getting minuscule benefits. If a client pays late or does not pay at all, the company will not be able to pay translators and editors out of its own resources. Therefore, its injured employees will do what it dreads most: add it to blacklists of bandit outsourcers and tarnish it corporate identity in social networks and forums dedicated to the wolves in the sheepfold.
• Because the best translators and reviewers around the world are willing to collaborate with Low Cost Translations™ Ltd though it pays slightly lower rates than its equally reputable business rivals while being very demanding. They do so because they are very confident that they will be paid immediately at the end of the project without hassle, without delay, or without having to send reminders.
