SHOULD YOU BE IMPRESSED IF A TRANSLATION COMPANY CLAIMS TO BE ISO CERTIFIED?

-

This is what Google AI says about illegal use of ISO logos in company sites, products, etc.

 

While there is no single, globally tracked percentage representing all companies that use ISO logos illegally, data suggests the problem is substantial.

  • Violations in Certification: According to recent industry insights, 47% of ISO certification violations are related to improper logo usage.
  • Fraudulent Certificates: Evidence suggests a high volume of illegal activity, with over 20,000 fake or fraudulent certificates identified by IAF CertSearch in a single recent year.
  • Nature of Misuse: Companies often wrongly use the ISO logo to indicate they are "certified" when they are not, or they use the logo to falsely imply certification, which is a violation of ISO's trademark policies.
  • High-Risk Sectors: In certain regions and industries, such as the electronic component manufacturing sector, counterfeiters often boast fake ISO certifications to gain credibility

 

In other words, should you really trust that the ISO logo plastered on a translation company’s website means anything? At best, you can expect it to be bogus 47% of the time. Considering that a lot of them also claim to be ATA certified and USCIS certified, you should look at an ISO claim with a degree of suspicion.

 

We make no outrageous claims. Being in business since 1982 is our best testimonial.

JUST HOW GOOD IS AI TRANSLATION?

-
  I have been exposed to machine translation from the very beginning, so in the 90s I had already tried computer software in a few language pairs. To tell you the truth, they were all very bad back then.   However, time flies when you are having fun, and it does the same when you are not. With time translation software has become better, I must admit. However, most AI translations still sound like AI text, devoid of style and life, incapable of understanding figures of speech, cynicism, irony, humor, nuances, and the proverbial text between the lines.   However, I knew that sooner or later it would be widely adopted as a tool, so in the last couple of decades I continued to study several software titles in myriad languages.   As it stands, AI produced translation still has a major problem: it reads context very poorly. That, in certain languages, can have disastrous consequences, for the same word can have different meanings in the same language, for inst...

Should you really build an Instagram audience?

-
Imagem
Internet presence is a necessity these days, if you want to evolve in your professional and personal life. Millions of people aspire to live a life of fame, luxury and little work by becoming influencers, trusting coaches and handlers galore that promise Instagram fortune to anyone, regardless of age, body type, beauty, speech issues, lack of intelligence, culture or talent, or offering no content with any redeeming social value. Although some people that do not fit the mold young-beautiful-woman who is willing to appear almost naked actually make it, one may say there is the inclusive narrative behind this. The powers that be (Mr. algo, Silicon Valley, celebs, coaches, PR people, the press) like to portray Instagram as a place anyone can become an instant success, so they make famous 90-year old ladies, dysfunctional folks, ugly people, unfunny comedians, untalented singers and actors, to give the semblance of a level playing field.  Do not be fooled. The people that make it are e...

Emilio Zambello

  Emilio Zambello foi o primeiro piloto que conheci na vida, e posso dizer sem exagero, parcialmente responsável pela minha paixão pelo automobilismo. Eis aqui a história. O ano era 1969. Naquela altura dos acontecimentos, já sabia um pouquinho sobre o mundo das corridas. Minha introdução tinha sido um álbum de figurinhas da Disney, que me apresentou a exóticos nomes como BRM, Brabham e Cooper. Naquele mesmo ano de 1969, sempre que minha humilde mesada permitia, comprava uma ou outra revista Auto Esporte. Portanto, já sabia o que era a Equipe Jolly. Uma bela noite, assistindo a TV, vi uma reportagem sobre a equipe. Uma (ou duas) das Alfas GTA tinham sido usadas numa cena de uma novela, e a reportagem foi feita, obviamente, como uma gentileza promocional. E daí veio a bomba - descobri que a garagem da equipe Jolly, ficava há pouco mais de um quarteirão da minha casa, na Rua Frederico Steidel. Enquanto minha mãe não me levou lá, não sosseguei. Já fui inclusive com o nome de E...
