Welcome to MGU Transalation Services
At MGU Translation Services Kampala, we believe that “Translation is like a woman: if it is beautiful, it is not faithful. If it is faithful, it is most certainly not beautiful.” The biggest challenge that faces any good translator, then, is to succeed in striking a balance between faithfulness to the original text and the beauty of the final text which should look and feel as if it was written in the target language. This needs a unique combination of talents, skills and education.
With extensive experience in the industry, MGU Translation Services prides itself on having developed a pool of translators and linguists who can strike that delicate balance to achieve the highest customer satisfaction levels.
Based in Kampala - Uganda, one of the world's most bustling cosmopolitan cities in Africa, MGU Translation Services positions itself in the center of this challenge, where only the best can survive. To meet this challenge, we depend on our qualified professional translators who have mastered the art of translation in every walk of life.
Finally, Why Us?
More often than not, looking for a good linguist is just like searching for a good doctor! You seek the advice of a doctor because you don’t know the reason of your pain. Likewise, you seek a translator because you don’t know the language. Here you put your life in the hand of the doctor, and there you put your trust/business/interests in the hands of the translator.
As you can’t afford a wrong diagnosis, you can’t afford grave mistakes in presenting your case. With a doctor, it is your body, your health and your life that are on the line. In translation, it is your message, your reputation, your success and, sometimes, even your existence as a business that are on the line.
Our Confidentiality Policy
For MGU Translation Service, confidentiality concerning our clients’ data is not just a commitment; it’s rather a precondition for our long-term success. We have made our translators and administrative employees sign a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement which makes them legally bound to respect our clients’ information even after they leave the company, subject to legal action. We have also put in place all electronic protocols and safeguards that ensure the protection of our data and, consequently, those of our clients. Generally, we keep the projects we translate in a safe back-up store so that our clients can benefit from new copies or updated versions of their projects. However, our clients can advise us if they would prefer us to hand-over all their originals and copies and remove their translations altogether.
Our Quality Assurance Policy
Quality assurance starts from the initial selection process we follow when recruiting our linguists and translators. These should not only be excellent scorers in their academic studies, but should also pass the most demanding tests before being accepted onboard. These tests are designed in such a way that they can only be passed by distinguished veterans in terms of their experience and knowledge of the world around them. Still, we don’t stop at that. For the way we manage our projects will always ensure the finest possible quality for your texts. In MGU Translation Services, the translation process begins by assigning your project to a professional translator who has the necessary experience in the specific subject matter of your text. Once translated, another senior translator would review
