SPECIALIZED LANGUAGE SERVICES

TerraSystemics provides specialised language services - translation, interpretation, document editing - in various language pairs, in our areas of expertise. 
 
All of our translators have at least one university and master degree, some even have several. For this reason, they not only have excellent language skills in their working languages, but also have a good general education as well as in-depth specialised knowledge. Our translators use translation software, which offers many advantages to the final document, such as ensuring consistency in terminology, and the construction of a "memory" of previous translations.
 
The criteria observed in our translations are fidelity to the original, accuracy, knowledge of the subject matter, choice of appropriate terminology, sound grammatical choice and high readability.  Our method of peer review, and constant supervision of the translations, guarantee that the translated text reflects the original meaning and the impression created by the original document - thus providing an accurate representation of the source language text. 

TerraSystemics maintains a plurianual framework contract for translation services with African Development Bank, and has provided services to, inter alia,  UNDP,  EU, Ministry of Environment (PT), Cooperation Agencies, and Corporations.
