FAQ

Let's talk

What does GTU have to offer?

We work with a global network of skilled professional translators and a dedicated team of project managers to deliver high-quality translation services that meet your needs—on time and within budget. GTU specializes in all major European languages, such as English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish, as well as widely-spoken global languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and many more—helping maximize your reach. We also offer related services such as desktop publishing (DTP), linguistic testing, terminology management and creation of style guides.

How do you work?

Our standard process involves translation followed by an editing step. Depending on your needs, other steps may be necessary. We can create master glossaries of your preferred terminology, based on legacy content, as well as offering DTP, linguistic testing and in-country review management services.

Do you offer machine translation? How does it work?

Yes. We offer machine translation (MT) from most source languages into the following target languages: Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish. Text is machine-translated automatically using a third-party cloud service, then post-edited by a skilled human linguist. Post-editing is the process of checking and correcting machine-translated text. It's important to note that some types of content are better suited to MT than others. Straightforward technical texts might be right for machine translation, while creative marketing copy using puns and metaphors calls for more of the human touch.

How much do your services cost?

Costs depend on your specific project requirements, such as the languages involved and the number of words you need translated. Click the link below for a free quote. We’ll get back to you as soon as possible with an estimated price and turnaround time for your project. If you decide to work with us, you’ll have free access to all project information in our client portal, which we also use to manage translators and related resources.

How do you keep data safe and secure?

We perform daily data backups which are stored in the cloud and at an offsite location. We also use multi-factor authentication and antivirus software to protect data. Our staff receive training on digital risks such as phishing e-mails.

How do you ensure quality?

We only work with linguists who offer tried and tested quality in our two-step translation and editing process. Our talented translators draw on resources such as terminology, style guides and translation memory to help them find the right words. At the end of a project, we use technology to root out any remaining spelling and formatting errors and terminology issues that are difficult to spot manually.

Why have you chosen to specialize in these three industries?

We’ve chosen to specialize in fashion and apparel, music and lifestyle as these three industries are close to our heart. We’re a specialist agency who set out to do a few things very well. We’ve defined this niche for our strategic expansion, and we aim to establish ourselves in these industries before expanding further going forward.

How do you find your linguists and put them through their paces?

We find our translators through our memberships of industry associations, on job portals and through word of mouth from our network of industry contacts, including universities. Our Vendor Manager works closely with our pool of experienced linguists, taking them through our onboarding process and monitoring their ongoing performance.
