Honouring quality and the wonder of languages TEXT: BETTINA GUIRKINGER  |  PHOTO: TRANS@

Created in early 2003, Trans@ is the brainchild of two professional translators and colleagues, Frederic Leroy and Sabine Mason, who joined forces to provide translations of optimal quality. The care they bestow on their services is based  on  two  inter-related  principles: knowing their customers and knowing their translators. After years of experience, they take pride in providing a personalised service to their customers, translating, supervising and following up the texts entrusted to them from draft to polished translations delivered on time. Furthermore, Frederic and Sabine are very exacting about the translators with whom they work. These professionals invariably

translate into their mother tongue and have extensive knowledge in the fields in which they  work  to  guarantee  optimal  results. “Jargon,  technical  terminology  and  even style  are  extremely  precise  in  certain  industries,  and  are  consequently  part  and parcel of the high quality work we are keen on delivering,” Frederic points out. Their customers include law firms, banks, trust  funds,  publishing  houses,  governmental agencies, institutions of higher education,  and  many  other  industries.  “We don’t necessarily specialise in all of these fields ourselves, but we make sure that the people we work with do,” Sabine explains. In addition to translations, Trans@ provides a variety of cutting edge services that are

constantly  being  adapted  to  customer needs. Such services include sworn translations,  copywriting,  copy  editing,  interpreting,  transcription  of  recordings,  and making  high-quality  equipment  available for conferences, events, and the like. Flexible and always reliable, Trans@ is available for any requests and further information at their website. www.transat.lu
