Your next-level translations

STEBRATRAN is a translation agency specialising in English, French, Spanish and Dutch translation, so we are able to offer a full range of language combinations to suit your needs.

STEBRATRAN’s translators are always qualified professionals, translating solely into their mother tongue. At STEBRATRAN, we put our clients’ needs first.

We understand that there is more to a good translation than just knowledge of the language. A good understanding of the subject matter is just as important. That’s why STEBRATRAN has a whole range of specialists at its service. Is your text technical, scientific, legal, financial or commercial? We have a professional translator for every kind of assignment.

Each text written or translated at STEBRATRAN is always proofread carefully before being sent to the client. We also offer this service for texts you have written yourself. Spelling mistakes, incorrect hyphenation, punctuation and typing errors are easily made when writing a text.

And let’s be honest, a published text riddled with typing mistakes, or errors in language usage, is a thorn in the side of many consumers and may be criticised severely, no matter how interesting the content. A typing error is not a crime, but it can give people the impression that not enough care was taken over the work: a fault that is irreversible once it has reached the public.

We are the experts, and that’s why you should let us proofread your texts and proofs.

Consecutive Interpreting: this type of interpreting does not occur simultaneously. Instead, notes are made whilst the speaker is addressing the audience, and the interpreter provides a faithful interpretation of the content afterwards. This kind of interpreting is ideal for presentations, conferences, and small meetings.

Simultaneous Interpreting: the interpreting takes place in a booth as the speaker addresses the audience. The audience then uses headphone sets to follow the interpreter’s translation. Simultaneous interpreting is suitable for conferences, and meetings with a large number of participants or a lot of readings. Simultaneous interpreting requires technical equipment (booths, IR receivers, audio equipment, etc.).

Liaison Interpreting: the interpreter translates the conversation sentence by sentence, and is responsible for communication between members of a discussion. A liaison interpreter can be brought in when executing a deed, or conducting interrogations, medical appointments, negotiations, and company visits, for example.

Do you require one of the services mentioned above? If so, we at STEBRATRAN are happy to make an offer, with no obligation.

Sometimes a text will need to be rewritten in order to retain its original tone. Then, the text is literally “customised” for the target group. This happens frequently in the world of advertising. If you need your texts to be written or rewritten in a foreign language, just leave it to us!

Subtitling is a complex task. There is simply no space on the screen for elaboration. Therefore, the basic meaning needs to be immediately apparent. Subtitling is a profession in its own right: it is an extremely challenging discipline that combines the written and spoken language. A subtitler is also limited in time (reading speed) and space (the screen). For this reason, subtitling requires an abundance of talent and experience.

Do you also take into account legal, linguistic and socio-cultural factors when translating? ‘Localization’ makes sure that your texts meet the specific requirements of your target market. Translation seems so simple, until it becomes apparent that location has a considerable impact on context and meaning. Localization is the process whereby your product or message is adapted to suit the local target market.

We make sure your message comes across clearly and appeals to the local customer. We have an international network of local professionals at our disposal, who are specialists in the areas of linguistics and cultural awareness. This enables us to operate quickly and flexibly, and supply a finished product of outstanding quality.
