Total Language Solutions provides an advisory language translation service to assist in the production of original training materials in such a way as to avoid problems when translating into different languages from English. As an example, text in German can be up to 30% longer than the equivalent English text. This must be taken into account when designing the web site template or print layout.
Business sector: translation for human resources and training– employee policy co-ordination
The client requirement was for the translation of its human resource (HR) employee-performance related policy co-ordination strategy into all of the other languages used throughout the group. The language translations conveyed both the technical and factual content embedded found in the source material and conveyed the “people-related messages” to employees in the target languages on a consistent pan-group basis.
The client benefited from our quality language translation service: the results were improved communications with employees, their better understanding of employer expectations, group-wide consistency and more targeted reward programmes. Employee morale improved as this demonstrated equality of treatment and career opportunities across the whole of the group.
The client has appointed us to manage all of their future translation requirements.
The languages initially translated were French; German; Italian: other Central European languages followed.
Business sector: translation for human resources and training– candidate profiling and evaluation, psychometric testing and development programmes
The clients’ requirements are many and varied: they cover a wide range of material. An example of the many assignments we have undertaken is the translation of candidate evaluation testing material into other languages: the language translations convey the factual content in the test material (questions) in the target languages and convey the “results messages” (answers) back to the prospective employer company in its preferred language(s).
These international clients benefit from our quality language translation services: the results are many and varied. They include improved recruitment processes, the more effective identification of suitable candidates, both internal and external, and medium term cost savings in consultancy fees. The pay back on their investment in translation costs has been very substantial in both “hard dollar” and “soft dollar” terms.
The languages translated were: Danish; French; German; Italian; Spanish; Chinese; Russian
Business sector: translation for human resources and training– 360 degree evaluation of employee by peer group, superiors and reportees
The client decided to undertake a comprehensive evaluation of its UK-based management teams. To this end, they commissioned an externally sourced SWOT review of the key team members. In respect of each person being assessed, those with management links to that person wrote reports and completed questionnaires. These results were evaluated and summarised off-site by an independent mediator who summarised the findings as the basis for a one-to-one evaluation and report back to the person assessed.
Our client benefited from our quality translation service: the questionnaires were translated into a number of languages and localised: the feed back answers and reports were likewise translated and localised such that they could be readily summarised into the one integrated document for the feedback process.
The languages were German, then the other main West European languages
