Uni-edit提供的中翻英服務，主要以學術論文為主，但許多商業客戶也會因為品質的要求，而委託Uni-edit為其服務。
我們的翻譯服務，主要是二個工作人員，我們根據您的稿件指派受過專業訓練且具相關領域經驗之譯者翻譯後，接著交由另一位同樣具有相關領域經驗的專業母語編輯人員進行編修潤飾。
但當編輯對於翻譯的文字有意見時，編輯則會與翻譯人員溝通，將其疑問及問題已新增註解方式表達，再交由翻譯人員回覆。
即使Uni-edit的翻譯及編輯非肩並肩討論，下列例子將提供給您了解Uni-edit團隊如何用心於您的文件。
編輯詢問==>
I think "pad" and "gasket" are the same thing, as the discussion around "gasket" in the conclusion matches the discussion around "pad" in the first section. Why did you translate the same Chinese word into two different English words?
翻譯回答==>
In this job, pad is described as "rail pad" in the Chinese term at the beginning; whereas in conclusion section, I do not know why the author is separating two subsection as "Causes of cracks in rail pads" and "causes of intermediate pad/gasket ruptures", so I decided to describe it as gasket whenever "intermediate" is mentioned.
Technically, pad and gasket are made of the same material, it is just that gasket has more voids than volumes in the design. The customer does not provide us the design, so we do not know how the layers are being assembled. On the safe side, I would prefer to ask the customer if there are two entities here.
編輯回答==>
Thanks. I feel translating the exact same term in the exact same contexts into two different terms only introduces confusion where none existed in the original text. It's easy to say "intermediate pad" instead without introducing new terminology. Anyway, I'll check it with the author.
