Wulf-Dieter is part of the MaxiWord team. Managers, editors and typesetters work together with him to ensure the highest quality of translation. Our task is to create the most comfortable environment for the translator by providing him with translation environment, auxiliary materials, technical tools, dictionaries and glossaries so that he can concentrate only on the translation process without thinking about technical difficulties and payment. He is not alone: a team actively assists him in the translation process. He has someone to turn to for advice and tips. His work will be thoroughly checked, edited and the final file will be formatted to match the original. Upon completion, the translation will be proofread by an in-house proofreader and sent back to the translator for confirmation/rejection of changes. Alexander Saksonov, Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief at MaxiWord, is personally responsible for the translation quality.
Never stop learning
I was invited into translation by a client of mine, VOLVO, Germany, where I was teaching automotive English.
This was in 1979.
They asked me to translate the engine details for the then 740 series. It was fascinating.
Anything that any department at VOLVO had have translated from English to German or German to English was translated by myself up to 2002. By then I had already been living in Thailand for 6 years.
Further details please see: http://www.proz.com/profile/564179 and you will realise I enjoy technical machines/constructions that I build in my mind, when I translate about them. Images and drawings are helpful at times, though.
