'Credits' for translation

Frequently, in international advertising and marketing, we are confronted with material in another language that we need to understand quickly, so we can 'get on with our business'.  Outside translation houses, though, are not necessarily geared up to the demands of your business and that other standby, the managing director's secretary, generally has better things to do (well, he/she should do).

'Credits' are designed to overcome such barriers.  Paid up front and used as needed, they are designed to benefit both you and From Europe With Love

Buy a block of credits and you can use them anytime to get quick, useful translation from a number of languages* into English.  You can e-mail material through to From Europe With Love, who will agree with you a price, in 'credits', and then get on with the work.  You can call, you can fax..   if the material is posted on a website we can even look at it together and solve the problem.  It's a really simple concept, and it works.

For us, it has the advantage that quick help is matched by quick reward, rather than a relationship-building exercise with the finance department.  For you, it has the advantage of being quick and simple.

* From Europe With Love's core working languages for 'credits' are currently English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, allowing you to cover a significant proportion of Europe.  Other languages are also available, by way of cooperation with translation agency partners.

Other forms of 'credit'

Credits for research

Like language help, sometimes we just need to look around and find quick facts to help us overcome a barrier..  to know more about a potential (or existing) client, to check out the competition, to search for information about a new product....  Research credits are designed to make this possible.   Simply call From Europe With Love and we can discuss the task.  Once agreed on the scope, From Europe With Love can carry out the research and charge you from your 'credit account', based on the length of time taken to produce the findings (research + report) and any costs incurred in doing so.

Credits for writing

At times you have material in front of you that needs to be collated and written up (and which may be written in one or a number of languages, a barrier you have to overcome before you can do so).  From Europe With Love can work with source material across its core languages and turn this into copy/writing for internal and/or external communications.  In this case, the 'translation' phase of such an assignment is absorbed as an intermediary process towards the end result, rather than a separate task with all the cost - and time - implications that involves.

In all cases, there are occasions when credits may not be appropriate.  Certain translation/writing/research tasks may be better suited to an agreed fee or a retainer.  If this is the case, From Europe With Love will  talk with you to agree this fee/retainer, then get on with the work.
