Hello Mike,

Thank you for our rather pleasant telephone conversation.  As I mentioned we can offer you quality Vietnamese Translation of your Labor Law Posters including desktop publication and return print-ready documents ready for publication.  There are cities such as Orlando, and Tampa/St. Pete in Florida that have large Vietnamese populations.  And nationwide, Huston, Los Angeles, San Jose, San Francisco, Boston, Minneapolis/St. Paul, and Chicago are just a few of the markets with a huge Vietnamese workforce component.

In addition to translation and desktop publishing, we will work directly with your print shop to ensure that all of the proper fonts are available to ensure that you get sharp, vivid, Vietnamese text.  When working with Asian Languages, some print shops prefer to convert text to graphics in order to avoid font issues.  This adds cost to the development process and produces a product with a fuzzy appearance.  We have solved all of the font issues for Vietnamese and we will also be happy to work directly with your printer in order to provide technical support necessary to address any font issues in order to ensure that you receive very sharp, high quality Vietnamese text.  And as you might expect, doing it properly actually costs less since you can skip the text to graphics conversion process.

Allow us to introduce ourselves and describe some of the resources we can place at your disposal.  We are a solution-orientated language service concentrated on a single language.  Our resources are well developed and highly focused on the Vietnamese language.  Our mission is to provide the finest level of service available for Vietnamese language products at very competitive rates.  Our Lead Translator and founder, Hang Nguyen-Padfield was educated in her native Vietnam.  She is currently living in the United States.  She is also pursuing her Masters Degree in Translation Studies at the University of Birmingham in England.  She has extensive education and experience as a translator.  She works with speed and accuracy enabling her to meet challenging deadlines.  She has been immersed in both the Vietnamese and American cultures.  She has completed literally thousands of translation projects and has produced publications for a dozen fortune 500 companies.  Hang is published on the Center for Disease Control's website, and has provided translation support for medical research studies conducted by the National Institutes of Health.  All of these attributes combined make her ideally suited as a publication-quality translator.  

You can find her resume at http://www.viet-translate.com/Documents/HangNguyen-Padfield.pdf.

We support extensive software platforms and maintain a robust data center powered by Intel Xenon and Macintosh G4 processors.   We have Trados 5.0, SDLX as well as Quark 6.0, Office, Acrobat, PageMaker, Frame Maker, PhotoShop, In-Design, and Illustrator.  

As for myself, I have a very strong IT background with over 20 years of professional experience.  We have a functional data center complete with all of the necessary procedures to insure systems integrity and protect against data loss.  

We believe our two organizations are well positioned in our respective fields, and we are looking forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

Paul Padfield
