Premium Translation: A Distinctive Service of Canberra Publishing
As part of our mission 'Spreading Immensely Influential Australian Thought Worldwide', Canberra Publishing is proud to offer its Premium Translation service, a unique initiative designed to ensure the highest standards of fidelity, accuracy, and literary quality in translated works. This service is built upon six key principles that guide our approach:
1. Preservation of the Author's Unique Language Style
We dedicate significant resources to gathering the author's speeches, writings, and other works, undertaking extensive research to identify and uphold their distinctive language style. We recognise that in the field of translation, some less professional practices risk infusing the translator's style into the original text, resulting in unnecessary additions, deletions, or alterations. This compromises the authenticity of the author's voice. Canberra Publishing rejects such practices as disrespectful to the author's creative work. Our approach ensures that translations adhere strictly to the author's writing style, while also striving to convey the literary beauty of the language.
2. Uncompromising Integrity in Content Representation
In some countries, censorship systems may require extensive deletions, modifications, or even the addition of fabricated content for ideological reasons, misleading readers into believing the author endorses a particular ideology. At Canberra Publishing, we uphold the principle of freedom of publication and remain steadfastly committed to preserving the integrity of the author's works. We do not comply with any censorship requirements that necessitate deletions, alterations, or fabricated additions for ideological reasons. Instead, we faithfully present the author's works in their entirety, ensuring readers receive an accurate and unaltered representation of the original content.
3. Rigorous Research on Specific Terminology
Given the frequent presence of specific terminology in literary works—such as names of people, places, historical events, and references to other publications—we allocate considerable time and effort to conducting detailed research. This includes consulting original sources, authoritative reference materials, and relevant annotations to ensure precision. Typically, over half of our total translation time is devoted to this vital aspect of the process.
4. Complete and High-Quality Translation of Annotations and Endnotes
Annotations and endnotes are critical components of many works, often providing context and additional depth. We translate these sections in full, ensuring their accuracy and consistency with the main text. This approach allows readers to fully appreciate the author's meticulous scholarship and the reliability of the information presented.
5. Comprehensive Professional Proofreading
To uphold the highest professional publishing standards, we implement a robust proofreading process that includes three rounds of review by independent experts with advanced expertise beyond that of the translation team. While this method incurs higher costs, it is a necessary measure to deliver an error-free, polished final publication that respects the author's intellectual and artistic contributions.
6. A Level of Translation Quality Beyond Current AI Technologies
Although recent advancements in artificial intelligence have introduced tools such as DeepL Translate, Google Translate, and ChatGPT, these technologies remain limited in their ability to conduct in-depth research or accurately interpret context. Our translation team surpasses these tools by providing comprehensive, precise, and culturally sensitive translations that respect the author's unique voice and intentions.
Through this rigorous process, Premium Translation exemplifies Canberra Publishing's unwavering commitment to excellence. This service reflects our dedication to faithfully representing the intellectual and artistic value of Australian works, ensuring they resonate with global audiences and strengthen Australia's cultural and academic impact worldwide.
