Succes Story
BDO Belgium: specialised translations in various fields
Consultancy firm BDO Belgium has been putting its translation work in the hands of Belgian firm ELAN Languages since the end of 2023. The partnership came about after an extensive and successful test of our translation quality. BDO Belgium’s texts are very diverse in nature. That just so happens to be our specialised translators’ forte.
BDO Belgium's question
From HR documents such as job openings and training materials, marketing texts for the website to legal and financial reports… BDO Belgium was looking for a partner who could translate these types of documents flawlessly and as quickly as possible into Dutch, French, and English. Other specialised projects include editing and subtitles for presentations.
Our service
Regardless of the translation’s context, ELAN Languages takes the same approach every time. We carefully select a translator from our wide network who is at home in the subject matter, has mastered the technical jargon, and is a native speaker. This ensures that the language into which the text is to be translated is also the translator’s native language.
Of course, that’s the same approach that we take with BDO Belgium. At the start of the partnership, we were also given a list of the professional and preferred terms used by BDO Belgium. It’s an additional guarantee that all texts are translated consistently across all languages. We also invariably take into account the tone of voice envisaged by BDO Belgium.
Thanks in part to that input from BDO Belgium, the cooperation is a fruitful one. Lion De Clerck, a copywriter at BDO Belgium, also testifies to this. “ELAN’s translations and service certainly meet our expectations. The clearly stated deadlines with punctual delivery and the translators’ comments and suggestions are particularly valuable.”
