Abu-Ghazaleh Translation, Distribution and Publishing (TAGTDP) in Cairo acquires the European Standard EN 15038 LICS -Certificate

CAIRO--- March 5, 2008--- Abu-Ghazaleh Translation, Distribution and Publishing (TAGTDP) in Cairo has recently obtained the European Standard EN 15038 Certificate for translation services after a comprehensive assessment by the Austrian Standards Institute (ON).

TAGTDP became the first company to acquire such a prestigious certificate in the Arab region and the Middle East after demonstrating an excellent record, regulations and work methodologies in translating patents, trademarks, special projects and legal documents.

In addition, a comprehensive review was conducted to identify the translators' qualifications and experiences, the extent of their compliance with quality control system, confidentiality of translated material, preservation and retrieval of translations.

Certified companies with the European Standard EN 15038 are qualified to undertake translation work for the United Nations bodies and authorities, embassies of the European Union and various international organizations and institutions as well.

"The work methodology applied by TAGTDP is highly competent and meets the European Standard EN 15038 and LICS/ON audit requirements for translation services," Mr. Mohamed-Ali Ibrahim, the Austrian Standards Institute representative and lead auditor stated.

About TAGTDP:

Abu-Ghazaleh Translation, Distribution and Publishing (TAGTDP) is the biggest translation company in the Arab region rendering a complete range of professional translation services for various Arab and international bodies, organizations and companies.

About The Austrian Standards Institute (ON):

The Austrian Standards Institute (ON) is one of the most important bodies practicing audit and certification of companies in the field of translation in accordance with the European standards.

Mitsco Translation & Training receives the international quality certificate according to LICS/ON & EN 15038

For the first time in history, Egypt has taken a leading role among the world's developed nations in the field of translation.

Mitsco Translation & Training is one of the first centres in Egypt to receive the International Quality Certificate in Translation from Mr. Mohamed-Ali Ibrahim, representative of the Austrian Standards Institution in the Arab World. It is awarded to accredited translation agencies after exhaustive auditing of the agency performance, and its compliance with the conditions and specifications of the accreditation authority.

The importance of translation has emerged after the increase in number of member states in the European Union, given their different languages and the necessity of daily communication among these states in their various languages. Then, many problems appeared due to the inaccuracy of delivering information through daily translation works in these states. Consequently, it became necessary to set criteria that control translation quality. Each state established a formal body to which it entrusted the task of following up, monitoring and auditing translation agencies, and choosing a group of these accredited agencies by this regulatory body.

the Austrian Standards Institution and Termnet decided to establish a regulatory body for Translation & language industry at the level of the European Union and worldwide. This body is LICS (Language Industry Certification System). After accrediting the agencies working in the European Union states, this Body started to extend its activity outside the Union states, to those countries that have political and economic links with the European Union states. Therefore, the body headed for the Middle East Region starting with Egypt.
