How to Select a Translation Agency

You have content that needs to be translated and you are looking around for a good translation agency. What makes a translation agency good for your project?! US translation agency has written a post just to answer the age-old question, check it out!

The points to keep in mind:

The first thing that you will ask is what decides if a translation agency is good enough or not?!

There are three things that will decide whether a translation agency is good for you!

The Translator As A Native Speaker: Every translator will tell you that you should hire a native speaker of the target language. They are right. Getting a translation from an original language that is not one’s native language is hard enough, but turning it into a target language that is not native is too complex. There is a real chance that even the most well-intentioned and hard-working translator in the business will not be able to deliver the translation that you asked for. If you have to choose between the native speaker of an original language or a target language, you should choose a native speaker of the target language.

Specialized Translation: If you are getting a translation for specialized content such as legal, medical, or any other kind of specialized translation, then you will need to get a specialized translator. You cannot trust a regular translator to conduct the job. USA Translate will advise you to make sure that the translator can give you the right kind of translation.

Proper Methodology: today’s translation industry is not about pen and paper anymore. Translation industry tends to be focused on software-based initial translation; reviews by multiple translators and proofreading as well as quality assurance teams conducting the job as well. Make sure that the translation agency you access has the right kind of software and also has a strong reviewing policy so that your translation can be delivered error-free.

Certified Attorney Review: If you are submitting a document that you consider to be highly sensitive, you should make sure that the translation agency can give you the option of ‘Certified Attorney Review’. The attorney will review your document and make sure that is sensitive to the nuances of the target submission team and will clear the system. Then, if you encounter any problems with the provided translation, you are free to go back and ask them to translate again or sort the matter out themselves.

Keep In Touch: Choose the translation agency that does not believe in the vanishing act! There are translation agencies that keep you informed about every single step of translation so that you do not worry. They are better than the ones that tell you to get back to them in two weeks.
