20-01-2012 Renovated Helena Website

The Helena Website has been completely renovated. A completely new design has been chosen with an image that matches our professional and customer oriented attitude.

Over 20 years ago Helena was one of the translation agencies which actively used the possibilities of the internet with www.helena.nl. Helena could be found on the first page as technical translation agency for a long time. After that word of mouth advertising became the most important form of acquisition.

We hope the new setup will strongly improve the position of our website on the internet both nationally as well as internationally.

11-1-2011 Studio 2011

Helena has recently also added Studio 2011 of SDL Trados to its expansive set of translation resources. With the acquisition of Studio 2011 Helena has the most advanced translation technology from the market leader in the area of translation memory programs. This technology enables Helena to organise the translation process even more efficiently. This program also offers more possibilities to monitor the quality and consistency of the use of terminology in the translations.

From the very beginning Helena has been working with translation memory programs. Many of our customers still work with older versions or with other programs. Therefore, Helena also still delivers its services in the older versions such as SDL Trados 2007 as well as in the programs from other suppliers such as Transit NXT, Across, WordFast, Microsoft Helium, etc.

10-18-2011 Helena is using a new business management system

Helena is using a business management system from Plunet that has been developed especially for the translation industry. This system manages the whole translation process from the request for a quote up to and including the delivery of the translation and billing and it is partially automated.

Customers and external translators can log in on the Helena web portal, from the Helena website, via a secured connection. That enables customers and translators to get secure access to the relevant information of respectively their own orders and jobs. The transfer of files is also more secure and more efficient.

Helena is ready for the future as language service provider (LSP) after putting this system into service. This is necessary to be well prepared for the fast developments in the market and in the technology.
