2. I) SPECIALISED TRANSLATION
(Finance, software localisation, etc.)
SYNONYME.NET responds to the needs of its clients with a customised service perfectly tailored to their specific
translation requirements. Our project managers work closely with each client, providing a comprehensive service that
ranges from translation (internal/confidential documents, websites, etc.) to final delivery of the document (DTP, etc.).
Why entrust us with your translations?
1) Rigorously selected translators:
a) Qualified translators from the most prestigious colleges and universities and are similarly endorsed by
professional associations (AICE, AIIC, ATA, ESIT, and FIT1). As a general rule, our translators have also
completed additional complementary studies in economics, finance, science, etc.
b) Native speakers of the target language => not only are native speakers able to faithfully convey the meaning
and style of the source text, they also have the ability to produce seamless translations that read like original
texts.
c) Residents of the target-language country => who better qualified to translate an annual report from English
to Chinese than a Chinese economist residing in China? Or a translator working on an advertising campaign
who must take into account the cultural values of the country in which he or she lives?
2) Strict quality control
With 20 years of experience, SYNONYME.NET can guarantee optimal reliability while minimising human error:
a) What does “quality” mean to us?
The first step involves ensuring the consistency of the terminology used from one project to the next,
irrespective of the departments involved (communications, marketing, human resources, investor relations), the
requested language pairs and the content provided:

AICE: Spanish Association of Conference Interpreters; AIIC: International Association of Conference Interpreters; ATA:
American Translators Association; ESIT: École supérieure d'interprètes et de traducteurs; FIT: International Federation of
Translators

its development in linguistic terms

b) Dialogue with the client to ensure synthesis between the terms proposed by SYNONYME.NET and those used
internally and externally by the client.
c) In-house project managers who monitor all projects and ensure that our translations meet the quality standards
and deadlines demanded by the client. The project manager is your privileged point of contact.

4. We convey our quality through a broad range of languages and translation services
1) Specialised translation: press releases, periodicals, trade magazines, advertising, annual reports, contracts,
websites, technical manuals, etc.
2) Software/website localisation: we adapt your programme/website to the destination country. This process is not
restricted to the mere translation of content – it also involves linguistic adaptation.
3) DTP: we adapt the translated document content to the format of the original one.
4) Sworn Translations
5) Last-minute content updates and modifications without additional charge.
6) Transcriptions of recordings.
We minimise the risk of accidental errors by anticipating potential problems.

positive final result is always exceptional.

5. II) CONFERENCE INTERPRETERS
Would you trust an unknown interpreter with your Chairman’s address?
You only notice the quality of an interpreter’s work when it fails to meet the standards required. As meetings progress,
content becomes more complex and dialogue more intricate. It is at this point that the interpreter’s groundwork and
preparation come into play, along with his/her ability, or lack thereof, to adapt.
The same is true of audiovisual presentations, video conferences and audio/video broadcasts on the Internet, etc.
Quality is a factor that goes unnoticed until a problem occurs. When a mistake is made, it sticks out like a sore thumb.
Quality is an essential factor in every single phase of the process.
The price difference between an amateur unable to guarantee quality and a professional interpreter with the ability to
overcome any problem can actually amount to very little.
Why should you entrust Synonyme.net with your interpretations?
1) Rigorously selected conference interpreters:
We employ graduates with degrees from Europe’s leading universities and colleges (ESIT, ETI, Georgetown,
a)
Heriot-Watt and ICADE2).
b) Our interpreters are all specialists in their chosen fields.
Our interpreters meet AIIC, AICE, ATA and FIT interpreting standards, etc.
c)
d) Our interpreters have extensive experience in international conferences, industry congresses, results
presentations via Webcast or audio conference, annual general meetings, financial and corporate meetings,
etc.
2) A direct relationship with our interpreters:

6. In accordance with the required language combinations and subject areas, SYNONYME.NET provides a real-
time list of available interpreters who have the necessary profile for the job.
How is this beneficial to you? If you have to alter the dates of an event at short notice, we can reorganise our
team immediately without affecting output quality.
3) Our operating principles:
a) We never employ the relay system3 and are therefore able to convey 100% of the information.
b) We work in both two-way and one-way booths, depending on the languages used at your meeting.
c) All our interpreters are fluent speakers of Spanish and English.
=> The quality of our interpreting services is founded upon the knowledge that we have of our working environment
and our ability to build a project-oriented team.
Simultaneous interpreting equipment that custom-adapts to your event
Portable interpreting systems (infoports)
What is a portable interpreting system?
It is a piece of equipment that allows the interpreter to provide simultaneous
interpretation for listeners.
At what type of meetings is it used?
At meetings of up to 20 people where simultaneous interpreting is required, but
where an interpreting booth proves impractical. These systems may be used for:
Guided visits to factories
•
Cultural shows and exhibitions
•
Training courses, etc
•
-{}-
Press Conferences
•
Interpreting booths
3
As opposed to direct interpreting, the relay method involves the translation of the words of another interpreter. The use of relay
interpreting is not acceptable in English as it can lead to a large number of transmission errors caused by the fact that the interpreter
is not working from the original language. As a result, service quality is often affected.
