Trados, SDLX, Across, Wordfast, DejaVue and others are applicable as required. **QUALITY CONTROL** QUALITY FIRST The standard in the translation industry is for a translator to translate a document and then proofread it. A few companies will use a second person to do the proofreading, which provides a little higher quality. Many, however, will say they are conducting a translation and proofreading or review, but neglect to tell you that the review will be done by the same person. I believes that the translated document is as important to the company success in its markets as the original document. Just as you wouldn’t have a single individual write a user’s manual and then publish it without reviews, the translation should be adequately reviewed as well. My translation process is similar to that of the publishing industry with multiple reviews. I focus the efforts of each reviewer to minimize errors and provide for a more accurate translation. FOUR-PERSON PROCESS My translation process consists of a translator, content reviewer, language reviewer and proofreader. The translation and all reviews are conducted by separate independent translators who have no allegiance to any other person on the team. Their loyalty lies with the customer and ensuring that translation is of the highest quality. Each person on the team is responsible to proofread their own work as well. TRANSLATION – STEP 1 My translators are all native speakers of the target language. Many have college degrees in translation or in specific areas of expertise, like law, medicine, engineering, or computer science. Our translator’s are only allowed to translate into their native tongue, not the other way around. This allows us to avoid problems like the Swiss Electrolux vacuum cleaner commercial translated by a German speaker into English that said, “Nothing Sucks like an Electrolux.” They thought they were very cute and poetic, but didn’t know it had a bad connotation. CONTENT REVIEW – STEP 2 (1/3 OF THE TRANSLATION RATE) Although having the translator translate into their native tongue ensures that the translation will be understood in the target language the translator may misinterpret the meaning of the source text to start with, rendering an inappropriate translation. The content reviewer is typically a native speaker of the source language and understands the target language. They reverse the translation process by first looking at the target translation and then comparing their understanding with the original source text. They focus on content, meaning, errors and omissions. Their job is to ensure that the translation has been faithful to the original text. LANGUAGE REVIEW – STEP 3 (1/4 OF THE TRANSLATION RATE) The language reviewer is typically a college educated writer of the target language. Their job is to ensure the readability of the target translation. They focus on the grammar, tone, structure, and flow of the translation. They conduct their review by reading aloud the target translation looking for awkward or difficult to understand passages. They then go back and compare each awkward passage with the original source text to ensure that while they clean up the grammar and language of the translation they don’t alter the content. PROOFREADING – Step 4 (1/5 of the translation rate) The proofreader focuses on the spelling, layout of the document, formatting, HTML coding and all the small details that ensure the document is as complete and accurate as possible. They are like the final editor in any publishing process. REVIEWS ARE OPTIONAL Although the quality will be less than using all the full translation team, some documents may not need this level of quality and for that reason the customer can choose not to have some of the reviews done. This would save some money and is perfectly appropriate. TRANSLATORS' PAYMENT (30 days from job delivery date) I has up to 30 days from the day of translation delivery to pay the translator for his/her services. If you disagree, please contact our office and we will work something out with you. Rates:
