Style and Formatting Guidelines for Italian Translation

BigTranslation prides itself on the high quality of its Italian translation. When carrying out Italian translation on the platform, please follow these guidelines. They will explain exactly how to format product descriptions correctly, and they also contain valuable general information on our style preferences for any Italian translation undertaken for us.

Style and Formatting Guidelines – IT

Are style and formatting guidelines really so important?

In short, yes!

We are big fans of style and formatting guidelines and we make them available for all of our team working in each of our target languages. This document is a useful tool, not only our translators, but also for our validators, editors, project managers, the whole team. We know that you, like us, take content seriously and we believe that this is the optimal way to provide a structure and framework that is easily accessible to everybody and avoid any uncertainties or ambiguities. We find that it is an especially useful tool when working in such a large team, via our platform.

Moreover, style and formatting guides are very important for BigTranslation as a professional translation agency. They help us to maintain our credibility and to ensure that we stand out from our competitors. This is because they ensure consistency between translators and between individual texts in terms of both style and quality.

In addition, having a style and formatting guide to consult helps to unify all of the content and create a strong and reliable brand for each of our clients. This, in turn helps them to gain their target market’s trust.

As translators and proofreaders, we need to have a keen eye for detail, and a style guide helps to take care of the nitty-gritty grammatical points. It also helps us to have confidence in our choices, aiding us when selecting between more than one correct option and clearing up any uncertainties about the best way to format our work!

How to correctly create a link in your translation:

The way that we create links on the platform has slightly altered over time. To make sure that you are using the correct format in your translations, please take a look at the following information:

To correctly create a link, highlight the word (or word string) that requires the link in your target text. Right click on the word(s) and select Insert link.

A dialogue box will appear. You then need to ensure that the correct code appears in the URL code field (our system uses codes rather than web addresses for link URLs). No other text or numbers should appear in the URL box other than the code.

The following are the correct codes for the corresponding words in EN, you will need to use them accordingly in your translation.

  1. References to BigBuy:

##CMS_0##

  1. References to wholesale price:

##CMS_8##

  1. References to drop shipping:

##CMS_9##

  1. References to dropshipping shops:

##CMS_10##

  1. References to become a distributor:

##CMS_15##

  1. References to wholesale packs

##CMS_34##

 

The Text to display should be your target text term, with no spaces before or after.

In the Target, you should see the word None.

Links

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When a product website address is included in the text, the link can be copied and pasted from the source text. Once you have done this, you will still need to right click and select Insert link. You should then check that the URL code and Text to display both show the website address. Importantly, for this type of link you will need to set the Target to New Window in the drop down menu.

Links Web

Many thanks and please get in touch with the team if you have any queries about links in your translations!

translator-dutchProfessional translation into Dutch:

Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Stefanie and I’ve been a Dutch professional translator for BigTranslation for several years now. I was born in Belgium and am currently living in the Netherlands. During my academic career, where I achieved a BA in Language and Literature, MA in Business Communication and MA in Journalism, one thing was always on my mind: I wanted a career as a professional translator, and one way or another I was going to achieve it. And I did!

A passion for translation

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been passionate about languages and professional translation. As a kid, I was always looking for spelling mistakes in newspapers and magazines. I would read the subtitles on television to see how translation and subtitling worked. I would watch kids’ television in French, English and Spanish without subtitles, just to develop my language skills. Because that’s what it is: language is a passion, professional translation is a passion. Trying to find the right words, putting them in the right place, conveying connotations and meanings that are created by putting specific words together and helping someone else understand something they never could before. Without professional translation and translators, we might have never heard of some faraway countries, we would never have understood the lyrics to our favourite songs and we wouldn’t be able to follow a movie in another language.

Translation as transferral

To translate is more than just replacing one word after another with words of a different language. To translate is to replace one language with another, transferring the meaning of the text, but also conveying the words between the lines, all the nuances and suggestions. It’s like the famous English writer Anthony Burgess once said: “Translation is not a matter of words only: it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture.”

What Languages Should I Translate My Website Into?

One of the toughest decisions a company will face when carrying out website translations is deciding which markets to target first and, consequently, which languages to translate into. A great example would be the Spanish market: Spanish is one of our most popular target languages.
