Recommend A Translation Service

Posted by dania on 6/26/2008 at 6:08 PM ET 25 Points
Hi, I'm consulting for a company that is in need of translating 2 books from German to English. The books are about 500 pages in length and the deliverables would be the translation of the manuscript from German to English, as well as turning both of them into a chapter by chapter eBook that could be offered to users electronically. The book would be used by a medium sized software technology company, it is fairly technical in nature. I'd appreciate any feedback you have.

    Whoever you choose, make sure that they also provide input about internationalization (for example, images and colors that are appropriate to your market). It's subtle, but very important.
