Quality translation

Quality translation means delivering texts that are linguistically accurate, that use consistent terminology and are culturally appropriate for the target audience. For companies, quality translations are a worthwhile investment that influences how your business is perceived internationally.

What characterises a high-quality translation?

High-quality translation requires a number of different factors. The translator must have subject knowledge within the relevant field – financial translation requires an understanding of economic principles, technical translation requires product knowledge and marketing translation requires creative writing ability. Quality is ensured through the four-eyes principle where at least two people review every translation. The first translator works translating the text, whilst a second expert checks the translation against the original to catch any errors or inconsistencies. Professional translation partners follow ISO standards and use ISO-certified system support to guarantee systematic quality assurance.

How to guarantee the best quality

Professional quality translation uses client-specific term bases that document how specific terms should be translated. This guarantees consistency across all projects and in the long term. ISO-certified translation memories reuse previously approved translations, which ensures the use of uniform terminology and enhances efficiency. Modern quality control tools automatically identify potential issues such as omitted text, numerical discrepancies and inconsistent terminology. Finally, you as the client can also validate the translation before publication, which gives you full control over the final result.
