Klefta
started out several years ago as a general freelance
translating agency. The fact that we have specialised
in legal and business translations does not in any way
diminish our capacity or willingness to take care of
just about any translation you can think of.
|

|
The
term general for some implies simple texts that merely
require a basic knowledge of two or more languages. Not
so. General translations cover many disciplines and a
vast number of fields. Perhaps even more than with specialised
translations, general translations require a high degree
of flexibility, general knowledge, common sense and linguistic
creativity. One must possess the skills to switch effortlessly
from writing an inspiring advertisement to, say, an emotional
or alarming report on the progress that is made in providing
food supplies for the Congo, or a pleasantly compelling
instruction manual for staff participating in an international
exhibition. |

|
What
exactly do we consider general translations ? |
| |
|
General
translations include texts that relate to virtually every
kind of field other than legal, business and finance,
which to us are specialisations. We also provide general
translations relating - to mention but a few - to charity,
advertising, press, fashion, catering, education and training
and public relations. |
| |
|
Are
there any fields in which we do not provide translations
? |
| |
|
Yes, there are. For a number of reasons we draw the line
at highly technical translations relating to advanced
chemistry, advanced physics, advanced science, advanced
technology, advanced medicine and advanced IT. Other than
those, we are yours to dispose of. |
| |
|
Although
most of our translations are used for 'regular' purposes,
we are also fully qualified to certify them in accordance
with the appropriate legislation (sworn translations).
We are registered with the Bbtv (Registry
for Sworn Translators and Interpreters) in 's Hertogenbosch,
the Netherlands, which falls directly under the responsibility
of the Dutch Legal Aid Council. |
