Services & Specialization | Martin Janda - Translations Made Crisp and Clear

Services

Translation and localization (sorry, but no editing/proofreading/reviewing of 3rd party translations- I've had very bad experience with quality)
Transcreation - translating your text very loosely, or rather recreating Czech content based on your source file. Conveying the gist of the story rather than words. The perfect solution for marketing texts.
Large project management leveraging my team of experienced translators.
Interpreting, both consecutive and simultaneous: Conferences, seminars and training sessions. Clinical Trial Investigator Meetings, CRA meetings, FDA inspections, regulatory audits and more.
Software QA and onsite linguistic testing.
Second opinion in translation quality disputes and help with disaster recoveries following client quality complaints.
