Why is it necessary to enroll in the translation courses?
Translation sphere lacks professional translators. We have accumulated positive experience in a highly specialized translational work and now we want to share this experience with you.
Our Translation Bureau ABC Center Lviv constantly gets test results from university graduates who make all kinds of mistakes: from incorrect transliteration of proper names, including geographical names, and careless layout to serious terminological and semantic errors. According to our estimate, at least 80% of candidates who take the test, do not know:
- that the numerical value 0,5 in Ukrainian/Russian is transferred into English as 0.5, and 10,000 in English is 10 000 in Ukrainian
- how to automatically set up a corrector in MS Word for English or for Ukrainian
- how to automatically find all words in Latin alphabet (e.g. to detect something that has not been fully translated)
- why motor drive is a drive of a motor and not vice versa.
- where and how to search for clients
- fiscal, financial and legal aspects of a translator`s job.
If you do not know the answer to at least some of these questions, you will definitely benefit from our courses.
