Free Translation Services Guide!"Getting it Right," the American Translators Association's guide for consumers of translation services. This booklet (in PDF format) is extremely useful for helping you to prepare your document for translation, and to evaluate the quality of the translation services you are using. To download the booklet, click here.
Abstracting is the process by which a translator reviews a document in one language, and prepares a brief summary (an "abstract") of the document's contents in another language for the benefit of the client. Abstracting should only be used when the client only needs the "gist" of a document's contents, and should never be relied upon for legal, medical, or other circumstances in which the client should have all of the document's information rather than a summary. Oftentimes abstracting is used to help a client determine if a full translation of the document is needed or not.
*Please submit request as soon as possible. Most abstractions require about 1 day's turnaround for every 2500 words of source text. We will reply to your request with a quote by e-mail within 24 hours of receipt of your request. For urgent jobs (less than 1 day's turnaround per 2500 words of source text), or to cancel a previously confirmed event, please call Iowa Multilingual Solutions at 515-255-5241.
