French to English: Publicity, Confidentiality and Integrity
Source text - French Quand un traducteur ou une entreprise de traduction veut se faire connaître et que l’occasion se présente, il est toujours tentant de montrer au monde entier un échantillonnage de ses talents. Surtout quand cette publicité est presque gratuite et très efficace.
Et que montrera-t-on dans ces échantillons ? Des traductions réelles, bien sûr. Alors, qu’advient-il du sceau de la confidentialité sous lequel ont été faites ces traductions? Beau dilemme, n’est-ce pas?
Chez BERLUKAS, nous avons choisi une voie plus ardue, celle de l’intégrité. Comme toutes nos traductions sont confidentielles, nous ne pouvons les afficher en public. Même pas un seul paragraphe, même le plus inoffensif. Dans la même veine, vous ne trouverez pas non plus chez BERLUKAS de listes de « clients satisfaits », pas plus que leurs logos. Tout simplement parce que nous respectons notre engagement envers tous nos clients : celui d’assurer la plus stricte confidentialité de chaque transaction. Et cela, quitte à perdre quelques commandes éventuelles.
Alors, comment ces nouveaux clients peuvent-ils évaluer la capacité de BERLUKAS à « livrer la marchandise » ? Voici quelques pistes :
1- Notre site web ( www.berlukas.com ) – Il a été conçu, produit et traduit au complet par BERLUKAS. De plus, il présente en détail de nombreux aspects de notre entreprise, incluant les domaines dans lesquels nous nous spécialisons.
2- Ce texte – Il a été écrit et traduit au complet par BERLUKAS. Qu’en pensez-vous ?
3- KudoZ ( http://www.proz.com/pro/?show_mode=kudoz&sub_mode=summary )– Vous y trouverez des indices chiffrés sur les domaines où nous excellons.
4- Blue Board ( http://www.proz.com/blueboard/5830 ) – Les pigistes recrutés par BERLUKAS, eux, peuvent s’y exprimer librement – voyez ce qu’ils disent de nous.
5- Placez une première commande! – Pour vous aider à faire le premier pas, nous traduirons les deux premières pages sans aucun frais, peu importe la longueur du document.
On ne peut à la fois adhérer à de grands principes et les bafouer. Chez BERLUKAS, vous trouverez un fournisseur sur qui vous pourrez vous fier lorsqu’il s’agit de confidentialité et de respect du code d’éthique de tout traducteur professionnel.
Translation - English When translators or translation agencies wish to advertise their services, it may be very tempting to provide true samples of their best wordsmithing abilities. Especially considering that this can be a very cheap and effective way to obtain positive publicity.
What is on display in these samples? Real-life translations, of course. But what about the contract of confidentiality under which they were carried out? In our opinion, this presents a significant dilemma.
At BERLUKAS, we have instead chosen the more difficult road – the one that leads to integrity. Because all of our translations are confidential, we cannot show them to others, not even to potential clients or an anonymous public. We will not put a single paragraph on display, not even one that might appear completely innocuous. For the same reason, you will not find a list of “satisfied clients” or their logos at BERLUKAS. This is simply because we respect our commitment towards our clients: to ensure the strictest confidentiality for each and every translation. This is more important to us than winning any potential contracts.
How can new or potential clients evaluate the ability of BERLUKAS to “deliver the merchandise”? Here are a few of the ways:
1- Our website ( www.berlukas.com ) was completely designed, and its content produced and translated by BERLUKAS. It shows in detail the many aspects of our company, including the sectors in which we specialise.
2- The words on this page were written and translated by BERLUKAS. What do you think?
3- KudoZ ( http://www.proz.com/pro/?show_mode=kudoz&sub_mode=summary )– This web page provides quantitative proof of our expertise in specialised sectors of translation.
4- The Blue Board ( http://www.proz.com/blueboard/5830 ) lists the freelancers recruited by BERLUKAS. They are free to express themselves so you can see what they really think about us.
5- Try us out! To help you in this first step, we will translate the first two pages for free, no matter how long your document is.
Principles don’t mean much unless they are respected. With BERLUKAS, you will find a supplier you can count on when it comes to issues of confidentiality and respect for the translator’s professional code of ethics.
