What is Wizard Translations ?

There are many different kind of players in the translation business. From the single freelance translator trying to lift his head off the pavement to the fully fledged holding company offering translation services on a million bucks basis. You also have specialized translations providers. (Usually a few guys translating a very specialized field, such as supraconductor applications to electronic components, or something).

Choosing the correct type of provider is one of the most important steps in setting up a translation project. Getting your usual technical docs translated by a specialized translation provider is going to cost you an arm and leg. Large providers will be able to cope with huge multi-lingual projects, but as always, you can't expect full attention on your project from a company handling hundreds of other contracts on the same time. (That's my opinion.) On the other hand, try to give six hundred thousand words in 7 languages to a freelance translator, and you will see him collapse. (and so would I :)

So what is Wizard Translations? Wizard Translations is not quite a translation company as yet, but no longer a one man show either. The concept works like this :

• You need translations in the major languages. You turn me your project over.
• I study it and propose a translation solution. (If the project is outside of my fields of competence, I will look for and propose a translations provider which might be able to handle the project at no extra charge.)
• I personnally translate or check every English to French translation.
• I contact several reputable translators to handle the other languages or meet a deadline. Only native speakers are considered for assignments. (And remember, we are the same folks translation agencies call when running their translations projects)
• I gather the translations, ensure they fit the original requirements and turn them in.

This allows you to get quality translations at freelancer's price, without the hassle of finding them and organizing the translations yourself. If your documents are sensible, I suggest you then contact another translations provider to cross-check the translations. In fact, you should do it even when using a translation agency, as this is the only way to be really sure your documents will be checked by a different translator.

My goal is to provide you with an efficient way to get high quality translations at reasonable cost. I personnally enjoy cracking my brains at the meaning of a word and getting the best translations I can. (I don't mind earning money either).
