Please let us introduce to you OOO “KB-5” company – a well-known manufacturer of multipurpose electrical power and energy measuring equipment, and KB-5 Translation Department.
Our department’s cooperation with manufacturers of energy measuring and testing equipment has defined our main goals and principles.

Our goal is to assist the companies aimed at external growth.

The first principle – professionalism and close attention to details.

This principle defines our main features:

Focusing on a limited number of languages –
English and German

Focusing on specialized topics:

• Measuring and test equipment, electrical metrology;
• Electronics;
• Electrical engineering

Strong and supportive quality assurance system, based on:

• Working with experienced translators and editors who got specialized education;
• Keeping a close cooperation with the specialists from companies developing and manufacturing energy measuring and test equipment;
• Composing extensive terminological dictionaries and data bases

The second principle – comprehensive approach.
As a rule, multifunctional systems prove to be more profitable and effective in comparison with a set of single-function items. That’s why we don’t offer just particular services but rather a service package, which includes translation, pre-publishing document management and digital or offset printing.

And finally, the third principle – cooperation.
To achieve the best results one needs a team of like-minded and motivated people, that’s why it is so essential for us to work in cooperation with our customers. Moreover, to work fruitfully we should be aimed at mutual understanding as there are lots of factors that plague translation projects.
They are: unreasonable deadlines, ambiguities in source text, a customer’s urge to make changes after the process of translation has started, blissful unawareness of an overconfident translator, amplified by not asking questions, and even superficial attitude of the customer itself.

We do hope that the following tips will help you to avoid all traps hidden in the translation process.
