Small Changes to Updated Words

The new financial year brought a few changes to Updated Words. For a long time we have made a few aesthetic changes to our page but our prices and rules were kept the same, it was time to update them and make them more in sync with the necessities of today. So on our last End of Financial Year Meeting a few changes were approved in order to update our Price List and Terms & Conditions.

We have an updated Price List. We updated our prices and included a few more services and options to our clients. Apart from a slight update to the price of our services you will find other options in the content production and editing category and also in the certified translation category. Please visit our Prices page to learn more about all these updates.

We’ve also updated our Terms& Conditions to incorporate the new changes made to pricing and also a few other small changes that needed to be made to reassure our clients of our quality and good practises. One of these changes was the inclusion of a Code of Conduct. Even though our team has always complied with a Code of Conduct that wasn’t included in our Terms & Conditions, and therefore our clients weren’t aware of that fact. There were also a few options added to the certified translation services category that also needed to be regulated. For more information about all these changes, please consult our Terms &Conditions.

We’ve also added our working hours to our professional profile. Since not all members have the same working hours we have now provide that information on each member’s professional profile so our clients are aware of the member’s working times.

For more information, please feel free to contact us.

Updated Words new look and exciting activities

The new Financial Year has just started and with it came some changes to Updated Words. Once again we've changed our look a bit to make it even more appealing to our clients. A brand new website will bring you a much better experience and a more professional look.

Please feel free to browse and leave us a message with your queries or suggestions. We will be very please to assist you.

But there's more to this brand new look.We've added a new Glossary. You can now browse through our Idiomatic Expressions Glossary. There you will find all those Idioms that have been discussed in our online activities this year. 

Our Online Activities also suffered some changes. We received suggestions from some participating readers and we took them on board. It is very important for us to know what our clients and readers think of our work and what do they believe could be done to improve it.

Today we start a new model for our Activities Online. Instead of just focusing in a theme and discuss it, we decided to create some change and discuss several themes. On the first working day of each month we will release the Theme of the Month, that will be the subject for all posts of that month. We will continue to post a word or expression on every Tuesday (Sydney time) for our readers to comment and then on Thursday's (Sydney time) we will publish the correct answer. However, instead of doing it the way it has been done for the last 6 months or so, it will be done according to the Theme of that particular month. Once again, we advise our readers that they can always suggest a theme for the incoming months. Our Monthly Polls will also continue with more interesting subjects for discussion. The Monthly Polls however, are not affected by the Theme of the Month and will be chosen randomly. Readers can also suggest polls.

But there is a brand new activity for all our Forum and Facebook members/readers. Language Happy Hour was an activity suggested by one of our frequent readers. In this activity people can interact directly with us in Real Time. Once a month, a Member or Members of the Updated Words Team, will be online answering people's questions. These questions are subject to the Theme of the Month. The activity will be available for a period of one hour and people can participate both on our Facebook Page or Forum. The date and time of the Language Happy Hour will be announced at the beginning of every month on our Facebook Page and Forum. 

We hope you like the changes we've made for you and we will be waiting for more excellent suggestions, like the ones we have already received. The Updated Words Team would like to thank all participants in our online activities, it wouldn't be possible without you.

Thank you very much.

Updated Words in 2012

A new year has started and our Team has a lot of great news for you. 

As a team of translators, it is very important to us keeping an appealing and professional outlook so our clients can be assured of the quality of our services. But we live in the technology era, and creating an active profile will certainly be a plus not only with clients but with the general public.

As linguists, we're always trying to get people to talk about languages and to have a correct knowledge of languages. Unfortunaly, sometimes the Internet is not the best place to find that and the overuse of Internet codes and abreviations ended up leading to a poor knowledge and usage of languages. We want people to think about languages as a way of comunicating and learning things. It is amazing what the correct use of a language can do in our life.

So in 2012 the Updated Words Team created a few activities to promote good language skills and give people good information about those simple things we so often forget about. 

We are planing the publication of some of our Glossaries. These glossaries were gathered by our team in our everyday work. They will be updated regularly as soon as more words are included. For our Facebook Page and Forum we will create several activities that will allow us to interact with people. There you will find polls, answers to people's questions, suggestions for translation of certain words or idiomatic expressions and many more.

To participate in this activities all you have to do is register in our Forum and be a member of our Facebook Page. Let's talk about linguitics, it can be really fun!
