Le Figaro
Edit, a small company, specialising in the translation
of advertising and technical texts recently translated all 5000 pages
of the Boeing 747 maintenance manual in 20 days. To get the job done,
Edit created a relay of technicians and specialists working round the
clock on both sides of the Atlantic and linked by the Internet. More
than 300,000 words were translated, and a 2,500 words glossary compiled,
within this short space of time

1. To correctly translate a Web site, a localizer needs both hands-on
experience and a network of professionals. Since 1993 EDIT has nurtured
a talented family
of four hundred writers, journalists, publicists, and engineers. Their
understanding of local markets enables us to localize your content accurately
and efficiently. EDIT is comfortable with the mechanics of editorial
control (based on methods common to the newspaper industry) and we use
an arsenal of specialized software to ensure the consistency of an individual
client's vocabulary and terminology.
2. Translated text still needs to be integrated with design,
however. Because EDIT has been doing design and development work for
years, we understand the complexity of the internationalization process
and can supply professional services tailored to your needs. Our services
are frequently selected on a competitive basis and we have created some
dazzling Web sites for our monolingual client base.
3. To make the best use of a UNIX environment, to optimize your ranking
with search engines, and to provide real-time updates, you need a dedicated
hosting service
to provide rapid response and personalized service. Our server has been
running since 1996. We administer more than 700 domain names.
EDIT-one company that handles several jobs but has a global objective:
to enhance your presence on the Web, internationalize your corporate
image, expand your market, and-last but not least-show appreciation
for the diversity of the world and the cultures in which you do business.
