Well its the Friday afternoon before a bank holiday, what would you expect a translation company to be doing? Unsurprisingly we are working on a range of translation projects! Current translation projects include care label translations for two regular clients, various food label translation project, we also have work being typeset, and are working on a couple of energy drink labels which include translation, typesetting, and legal compliance work, which we are working on with one of our compliance partners. We are working on a range of assignments for a client looking to do business in China, this includes translating marketing materials, business cards and website content.

We are preparing a new brochure about our translation services, this will be available in both hard copy and as a downloadable pdf in the near future. We are due to attend several interesting promotional events during September, which looks as though its going to be a very busy month. We are up for an award in the Nottinghamshire Business Awards, we have been nominated in the International Trade category.

So what of plans for the weekend? Well many of our translators will be working on Monday, as they are based in 27 countries. For some of our translators, tomorrow isn’t even the weekend! We currently have over 150 translators in 27 countries spanning 5 continents. For the office staff, based in the UK, the weather forecast doesn’t look very exciting. Two of our staff are on holiday, and both are overseas so should miss the dreary UK weather.

I’m certainly looking forward to the break, and since the weather looks like a good excuse not to varnish the patio doors, a couple of lazy dog walks beckon, along with some selective television, and track laying on my new model railway. Whether I’ll have anything running by Tuesday we’ll have to wait and see.

If you are on holiday this weekend, have a good break, and I’m sorry if you are having to work. The office will be open again on Tuesday.
