Missing or duplicated content
Paragraphs, labels, footnotes or table cells may be omitted, repeated or placed in the wrong reading order.
Translated-document recovery
When the translation exists, but the document is unusable.
Send the original document and the result you received. Signifidem assesses what failed and whether a clean, coherent and professionally finished target-language document can be produced.
Common failures we assess.
An automatically produced PDF may be useful for reading but unsuitable for submission, circulation, publication or business use. The correction scope depends on the source, the existing translation and the intended use.
Broken tables and forms
Rows, columns, labels and values may no longer correspond or fit within the page.
Overlapping text
Expansion, unsuitable fonts or rigid placement can make the translated page unreadable.
RTL and LTR errors
Hebrew, Latin scripts, numbers and punctuation may appear in the wrong direction or sequence.
Unreliable terminology
Repeated terms, headings and defined expressions may be inconsistent across the document.
Lost document identity
Hierarchy, page relationships and visual conventions may need controlled reconstruction.
Assessment first
Correction is not always the economical answer.
Some files can be repaired efficiently. Others are safer and faster to reproduce from the original. Signifidem compares both routes and defines the work before accepting the assignment.
Unclear source content is not guessed. It is identified for clarification, qualified in the agreed scope or excluded.
What to provide initially.
- The original document, described without confidential content
- The translated result, if one already exists
- Source and target languages
- Page count and visible problems
- Intended use and required delivery date
- Required linguistic or specialist review level
The existing translation may still be useful.
Where appropriate, usable terminology or passages can be retained. Where the translation itself is unreliable, the document may require retranslation rather than cosmetic repair.
No claim is made before inspection.
Feasibility, scope, delivery time and price depend on the actual files. Signifidem may decline a document that cannot be produced reliably for its intended use.
Received an unusable translated PDF?
Describe the document and the visible failures before sending confidential material. We will determine what should be inspected and whether correction or reconstruction is appropriate.
