Managing your request: every project is unique<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At TradOnline<\/a>, we understand your needs can\u2019t just fit into a box, that\u2019s why we always use a personal touch for every project. And because each request, each document, is as unique as our clients, we start by analysing the project to better understand your objectives and thus select the translator, from our large professional network, who best meets your requirements. So yes, we do use freelancers to handle your requests, but they aren\u2019t chosen at random. There are simply too many languages across our beautiful and diverse planet to create a full-time, in-house position to cover each of them. What\u2019s more, this allows us to have a larger network of translators specialized in a number of different and varied fields. Our translators are always given a test translation in their preferred domains as part of our recruitment process<\/a>. We also ask them to respect a strict code of conduct. TradOnline wouldn\u2019t be what it is without the translators who handle your translation projects. We make it a point of honour to work hand-in-hand with professionals, with mutual respect and trust, in a friendly and transparent manner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Profile of a translator: intellectually curious<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are a number of stereotypes that emerge when we think about translators: solitary but with their head in the clouds, maybe a bit off their rocker, but certainly always a bookworm\u2026 What\u2019s often forgotten is that, above all, a professional translator is a person with passion, passion for foreign languages and passion for their own native language. A good translator has a certain mastery over grammatical rules, syntax, and spelling in their native language as well as a sense for conferring the meaning of the source text without breaking any linguistic or cultural codes. As specialists in one or more fields, they often find themselves hungry to learn and master more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What does their work entail?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A translator reads, contemplates, and writes. Then, reads and writes again. It may seem simple\u2026 It\u2019s anything but! It isn\u2019t a progressive succession of operations, but rather they are intertwined constantly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
