Who was Stentor?
Stentor (Gr. Στεντωρ), an Achaean warrior in the Trojan War, known for the great power of his voice. Homer describes it as being as powerful as that of fifty others [a stentorian voice] and as capable of making the enemy run in fear.
Just as Stentor was known for the power of his voice, we are recognisable by the quality of service we deliver which contributes to expressing our clients’ voices in a unique manner.

Quality of work
International quality certificates

Translations are produced by qualified and competent translators (using all available terminological databases, translation memories and CAT tools).
Each translation includes language revision and each translation project is overseen by a project manager whose role is to ensure that the services provided comply with the order and/or contract concluded with a client.

The quality of our services is acknowledged on the domestic translation services market and recognised on the international market. So as to be able to confirm our reputation at any given moment, every project involves a team of people that perform the translation process assiduously and with attention to detail, whereby every step is monitored by a number of people.
After receiving a request for a quote, we define the client’s requirements, and analyse the text using our translation tools, after which we send a non-binding quote to the client. When the client accepts the quote, our project manager prepares and formats the source text for translation based on the client’s instructions, and assigns the task to selected translators.
The translation process is carried out with the help of translation tools, including translation memories and term bases, which streamlines the translation process and ensures the consistent use of terminology. In addition, care is taken that the layout and format of the original text are preserved. The project manager is at the client’s disposal throughout the translation process, and may be contacted regarding any details related to the translation service.
Once a text has been translated, the document is first sent to a language editor, whose task is to compare the target language text and the source language text, and if necessary correct errors, thereby ensuring the consistent use of terminology, as well as accuracy, proper register, and the style of the target language text. The text may also be sent to an expert editor and/or proof- reader at the client’s request, or where we make such a proposal to the client and they accept it.
The final phase preceding the delivery of the end-product includes the project manager’s verification as to whether the target text is in line with the visualisation requirements of the client (text formatting and layout). The project manager continues to be at the client’s disposal for any feedback (comments, subsequent modifications and corrections or proposals) and is responsible for customer satisfaction.
