Translations that say what you meant.
Words rarely mean just one thing. syntagmax guides you through giving every passage of your work the context it needs, so it can be translated into any language faithfully, without surprises.
One sentence, many meanings
She couldn't bear the cold shoulder.
- She could not stand being snubbed by someone.
- She could not tolerate a chilly joint of meat on the table.
- She could not physically endure an icy chill on her shoulder.
A translator, human or machine, has to guess. With a little context, they do not have to:
Context: Anna's sister has ignored her since the argument. Cold shoulder
is an idiom for deliberate social coldness, not temperature or food.
Only the first meaning survives, and your translation will keep it.
Context for every passage
We walk you through your text section by section and ask for what a translator would need to know.
You have the final say
Every interpretation is yours to confirm, change or add to, including sayings, slang and proverbs.
Intent preserved
Capture scenes, characters, places, cultural references and deliberate double meanings, so they carry over.
