We can help you overcome language and cultural barriers, expand your business into new markets, connect with the entire non-English speaking community and set yourself apart from your competition.

SERVICES

Translation

We specialize in translating technical, medical and scientific documents, as well as audiovisual and marketing material. We work with a network of credentialed and professional translators from all over the world and we can translate from and into more than 50 languages. We provide certified translations with the ATA certification.

Localization

Localization involves adapting your message to the cultural standards of a specific target market. Tailoring a message to an audience makes it resonate locally and fit into the local conventions in terms of codes, graphics, style, humor, beliefs and more.

Transcreation

Transcreation involves adapting the message of a text to give the content the look and feel of having been created specifically for the target market. It is mostly used in the advertising and marketing fields. It is a blend of translation and creative writing.

Editing and Proofreading

We provide editing and proofreading services to meet the highest standards. All the meaning, readability, spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are corrected and all the inconsistencies are resolved. Your content will also be checked on an extra-linguistic level to ensure cultural adequacy.

Subtitling and Dubbing

Subtitling keeps the original spoken language in the background while adding translated text to the front, whereas dubbing replaces the audio completely with audio recorded in the target language.

Desktop Publishing (DTP)

DTP is the edition of translated documents with graphic design software to recreate the original format and layout, taking into consideration the linguistic, cultural and typography norms of your audience. We can deliver translations in InDesign, Illustrator, Publisher and other complex formats.

What happens when you order a translation? Find out about our workflow at Argentum Translations! In this video, Paula explains our three-step process to ensure professional translation services. Translation is a highly-intellectual process that involves extensive linguistic knowledge, cultural competence, outstanding writing skills, and a contrastive text and genre analytical assessment. We use a three-step process where three different professional linguists handle your translation and make sure it has the highest quality possible. The three steps are translation, edition, and quality assurance. Learn more.

The Importance of SEO Translation

Considering that SEO optimization is such a fine art based on fresh and rich content and the tactical use of keywords, you would be right to assume that the literal translation of content and keywords will not rank as well in a different language and culture. A poorly executed translation may destroy all the original successful content you worked so hard to achieve. That is why it is important to pick experts in SEO translation who work to boost your website’s position on search engine results in international markets.
