You Get More Than a Proofreader When You Hire an Editor

Nearly every business shares written products with the public. Whether in the form of advertisements, blog posts, email newsletters or brochures, your company’s image depends on the written word. As you probably already know, it is vital to your organization’s success that your copy is free of errors, is clearly written, speaks to the audience and conveys your organization’s message.

Keeping your copy clean, updated and in line with marketing goals can be tough. It is time consuming and can take in-house focus off of projects that need attention. What is the solution? Outsource your editing.

Canarias - Noticias - Información - Revista TARA - El diccionario “Tesoro Léxico Canario-Americano” editado por la Casa de Colón recibe el premio de investigación 2011 de la RAE

El diccionario ‘Tesoro Léxico Canario-Americano’, cuyos autores son los catedráticos Cristóbal Corrales y Dolores Corbella, acaba de recibir el premio de investigación filológica 2011 que concede cada año la Real Academia Española (RAE) de la Lengua. Se trata de la primera vez que filólogos canarios reciben este prestigioso galardón. El acta del jurado, presidido por el director de la RAE, José Manuel Blecua, considera este libro “una aportación muy valiosa para el conocimiento de las interrelaciones del español atlántico”. Su candidatura fue presentada por los académicos Gregorio Salvador, Francisco Rodríguez Adrados y Salvador Gutiérrez Ordóñez.

La publicación -editada en 2010 por el Cabildo de Gran Canaria, a través de la Casa de Colón- supone el compendio de intensos años de trabajo de ambos investigadores, orientado al estudio de los léxicos empleados en Canarias y América, para, a través de ellos, fijar la huella de las relaciones experimentadas entre ambas orillas tras cinco siglos de Historia compartida.

Urdu dictionary board: at a loss for words | Metropolitan | DAWN.COM

Different events were organised in Karachi last year to celebrate the completion of the 22-volume Urdu Lughat (dictionary) with fanfare, claiming that 52 years of hard work had come to fruition.

Ever since its inception in 1958, the Urdu Dictionary Board has been headed by many noted individuals and has had to experience ups and downs, mostly the latter, primarily because of the lack of attention towards the board of the government-led institutions. No different is the situation today.

Portec Traducciones Técnicas al Portugués: Nova política de prestação de serviços de tradução

Após um inconveniente com um cliente PDF resolvi mudar minha estratégia de negociação de prazos e pagamentos. Aqui eu falo sobre como negociar pagamento com o cliente direto.
O distinto me informou, após 10 dias de vencimento da fatura, que geralmente envio para 30 dias (ou seja, lá se iam 40 dias da entrega do serviço sem ver a cor do meu cheque), que, por engano, a fatura não havia sido ingressada na contabilidade da empresa e que, somente naquele momento havia sido ingressada no sistema, e o pagamento estaria disponível em aproximadamente 30 dias (quer dizer, 70 dias após terem recebido a tradução).
Deixe-me dizer-lhe uma coisa, maledetto cliente: seu pedido de mil desculpas não pagam as minhas contas. Suas esperanças de que este inconveniente não volte a ocorrer não me exime dos compromissos que tenho (contas a pagar, com datas de vencimento).

Editorial: Translation may be worse

With nothing more urgent to do, the Oregon Geographic Names Board plans to consider requests to change the names of more than 30 places in six Eastern Oregon counties, names that now contain the word “squaw.”
The plan is to replace those names with Native American names. This is the latest chapter in a long story. For English speakers around the world, squaw used to be a perfectly ordinary Indian word. Then, the world became persuaded that it was a dirty word.
