Your story told in another language

Human Resources is first and foremost about people and what they do in your organisation and beyond. You want to tell them things, teach them, compliment them or bring them up to speed – whether with a new code of conduct, a job ad, a CSR report or an assessment report of a genius new coder whose Dutch isn’t quite up to par yet. Whatever your goal, you want to reach people, which requires more than the right words: you need to speak the right language. At A Way With Words, we have the know-how and experience to get your people moving and – ultimately – to drive change in your organisation.

More and more organisations are tapping into the promise of e-learning, and with good reason. It’s the best way to imbue employees with new knowledge, whether it’s a code of conduct, a manual for a new IT system or updated company procedures. Employees can take courses wherever and whenever they want, and employers get to easily keep track of who has completed which modules. If you want to make sure that everyone in your organisation has access to the same information, including non-native speakers and employees or partners abroad, sound translation is essential. And that just happens to be what we do best. We’ll make sure that your message is conveyed clearly, appealingly and effectively in any language.

Today’s IT landscape revolves around user-friendliness and accessibility. Modern apps, platforms, websites and programs need a transparent, clear and intuitive interface – in all languages. Consistency is a key concern, but there are less obvious matters that merit consideration too, such as character limits, HTML tags or the subtle difference between “sign in”, “sign up” and “register”. Each IT translation comes with countless new decisions that can ultimately make an app easier and more pleasant to use, and the last thing you want is to have Google’s algorithms make those important decisions for you. Fortunately, the time of copy-pasting translations straight into your environment is well behind us. With our vast arsenal of tools, we can easily translate a PHP, HTML, XML or XLIFF export of all your texts. When we’re done, all you have to do is import the file into your environment and you’re good to go!

We know that it takes more than good services or products to stand out as a brand: you have to tell a unique story. A story that people recognise, that touches them, intrigues them and tempts them. We can help you share your story with the world – from a marketing brochure for millennials and social media content, to a press release by a fashionable international designer looking to launch their collection in the Benelux area and Germany. We have the know-how, tools and words to inspire and activate your audience to get you the results you want. We can retell your story in any language you wish: challenge us, you’ll be rewarded.

If your project doesn’t quite fit into one of the five domains listed above, don’t worry. We’ve got much more up our sleeve. With our network of experienced translation experts, we can take on virtually any translation project under the sun, from package inserts and T&Cs to end-of-year reports and packaging labels. We’ve been in this industry for quite some time now and have seen just about any text you can imagine, so we know that each project type has its own specific challenges and requirements. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss your needs and wishes. And just between us: if we’re not 100% confident that we can get you the perfect end result you’re looking for, we’ll tell you.
