The reference material provided by the customer guides the expressions we use in our translations. This is especially important the first time the customer uses us,but even after working together for some time, we depend on:
* The customer's considered reaction to our work - e.g. market reaction to texts;
* The customer sending us printed samples, containing illustrations and diagrams of the brochures/manuals we have translated, for future reference.
By agreement with the customer, we can create glossaries and other aids to improve translation in future.

Translation is frequently used to refer to both the written and verbal transfer of meaning from one language to another, but translation actually refers to writing, while interpretation refers to spoken language (or gestural language, as in sign language).
Although interpreting can be considered a subcategory of translation, in practice the skills required for these two activities – as well as the training that is required – are quite different.
While translators receive extensive practice with representative texts in various subject areas, learn to compile and manage glossaries of relevant terminology, and master the use of both current document-related software (for example, word processors, desktop publishing systems, and graphics or presentation software) and computer-assisted translation (CAT) software tools, interpreters, by contrast, are trained in precise listening skills under challenging conditions.
