Traduction J translates content for non-profit organizations and for small and medium-sized businesses as well as for professionals and students. As this company is based in Quebec, Canada, we mainly translate documents in French and English. However, we could translate documents into other languages, depending on the availability of our freelance translators.

In order to avoid any predicaments, we never venture to translate documents that are beyond our fields of expertise or production capacity. Our mission is to produce a final text that is fluid and highly readable and that adheres to the client’s image and vision.

Have you written a text for your company and are not satisfied with the result? Let us review and optimize it so that the final product is exactly what you wanted. We excel in the art of optimizing important documents that will be sent to your customers or internal communications you wish to send to your employees.

We turn your drafts into effective, inviting and attention-grabbing documents. We can also edit documents, a process that is defined as “the careful examination of a text in order to make it conform to accepted linguistic and functional criteria” (Practique de la révision, p. 4).

Moreover, we practice unilingual revision, which is the revision of an original text to ensure the quality of the content as well as the form and bilingual revision. This consists of comparing the equivalence of the target language with the source text.

Copy editing “refers to texts intended for printing. It consists of indicating on printed proofs the printing errors, typos, and any other changes to be made “(Practique de la révision, p.4). We use the typographic correction protocol for proofreading. This allows the author of the text to make the changes to their document afterwards.

Traduction J is committed to always being available to answer the client’s questions about the corrections to be made as this is part of our quality assurance follow-up.

In lack of inspiration? Short of time to write a document? We have the solution! By means of a simple conversation, Traduction J will take the time to define your needs, to know your target audience, to evaluate the tone you want to use and to establish the key points of the message you wish to convey.

Whether for internal or external communications, official or not, we are fully equipped to write different types of texts.

In the field of advertising and marketing, the work of the linguist often goes beyond translation and requires an adaptation of the message. This sometimes requires rewriting or remodeling the original text so that the message is received in the target culture in the same way as in the source culture. The adaptation process aims to preserve the originality, the “ wow-factor ” and the creative side of the message. Adaptation is often used in advertising and marketing to translate play on words, humorous messages or slogans.

At Traduction J, we pride ourselves for being creative and original and we make sure to stay informed about the innovative advertising trends in order to better help you adapt your messages.

Transcription is the conversion of audio and video documents into texts. Transcription is a painstaking task, and for this reason, it always requires more time and diligence than translation.

We offer to pay for the collection and delivery of cassettes, CDs, DVDs or mini DVs as well as a secure online file upload service (Windows, SMPTE and Timecode embedded in QuickTime are accepted).
