Translation Services

Faithful and high-quality translation.
A secure bridge from language to language.
This is ALAYA's service.

At ALAYA, translations are produced by translators specializing in each industry, and each translation undergoes a separate review of content and writing in a two-fold checking process. Finally, the project manager verifies the translation and delivers it to the customer.

ALAYA is especially strong in translation between European languages and Japanese and other Asian languages, and with our worldwide network of translators, we offer translation services for more than 40 languages, including languages of the Middle East and Africa.

Practical Translation

We offer translation services between multiple languages for many different types of documents generated as part of our customers' business, including contracts and other legal documents, various types of certificates, technical specifications and internal documents.

Creative Translation

ALAYA's work does not stop at translation. We also provide services for creating final advertising copy by rewriting the translation into text suitable for use as a sales promotion tool. The result is appropriate and easy-to-read text that can be utilized as for company brochures, websites, various types of fliers, and many other applications.

Translation Engineering

One area where ALAYA's strengths shine is projects that require translating large volumes of text into multiple languages (for example, user manuals and guides). For each project, a project manager provides consistent overall management throughout the entire process, and translation support programs are utilized to achieve high quality, short delivery times, and low costs.

Workflow from estimate to delivery

Workflow from estimate to delivery
1. Inquiries

We quickly and carefully respond to customer inquiries received through various methods, including email, telephone or fax.

2. Submitting quotation

After receiving the documents to be translated, we prepare quotations while taking into consideration the word count, the specialized nature of the content, and the delivery deadline.

3. Coordination

We select translators who can handle the translation content and delivery deadline, and we start the translation work immediately after receiving the order from the customer.

4. Translation

The translation is done by a translator specializing in the field of the content. Translation support programs (such as SDL TRADOS) may also be used.

5. Translation checking/editing

Another translator checks the translation for errors, including missing text, writing errors, and content consistency.

6. Delivery

Adhering strictly to the deadline, we deliver the translation in the requested format (be it Microsoft Word or Excel, or another format such as SDL TRADOS).
