What Is the Standard Process Followed at a Professional Translation Company

The standard method of a professional translation company has mystified people for decades. It is only recently that some companies have come to shine some light on the subject by revealing bits and pieces of their precise processes. But if you observe closely, you know that the processes of the top-tier companies are not vastly different from one another. Almost all of them adopt a combined approach and that, if I may say, is the secret juice of their success. Below is an overview of the standard process followed by big translation companies in Singapore.



First Screening
Good translation companies start with a preliminary screening of the documents where the text is read cover to cover and understood before the work is started. Once the translators have a general grasp of what the document is about, only then they set to translating it manually.

Project Management
Past the first screening, the project is evaluated and assigned to the most fitting linguists in the team. Deadlines are assigned and resources are allotted for the project. A starting date is also given for the project.

Word Check
Most business documents contain nomenclatures and industry-specific terminologies that are the hardest to translate. Some translators like to find equivalents of those words in the translating language before starting the conversion line by line.

Quality Improvement
Once the translation is done, the copy is passed over to the editor whose job it is to make improvements to the text. The point of this step is to make the language more lucid, the text easily readable and free of errors.

Final Screening
The final screening at a professional translation company happens in two ways. First through a software and second, manually.
Before you hire the service of a translation company next time, be sure to check if their process is standard or less.
