Do you need to shorten a lengthy technical translation? There are many reasons you may need our abridging and abstracting service. It may not be economical to publish it in its current form. Perhaps you are preparing a text for translation and need to shorten it. Additionally, it could be too long for the requirements of a new market, some sections may be unnecessary, or the writing style longwinded.
Types of Media Channels We Work With
Abstracts, books, calendars and diaries, catalogues, CD ROMs, conference materials, corporate publications, databases, dictionaries, directories and yearbooks, distance-learning materials, educational materials, encyclopaedias, exhibition catalogues, e-zines, hotel guides, language course materials, leaflets, magazines, manuals, maps and atlases, menus, newsletters, newspapers, online materials, phrasebooks, posters, press releases, theatre programmes, prospectuses, company reports, slide presentations, league tables, dissertations, training materials, travel guides, websites.
We can reduce the text in your document to your required word or page count by structural editing and rewriting. We also welcome any instructions regarding your specific house style.
This service is charged at an hourly rate, depending on language and subject area.
We can either:
a) abridge your text using word processing software (Word, Google Docs) and then provide you with a file where the amendments are marked using track changes
b) deliver a final version of the text without showing the tracked changes
We work in many formats and in most software packages—meaning we can deliver files by e-mail and, if needed, on disk/CD.
