How is the quality of a translation guaranteed when the delivery time is short?
Quality is everything in our industry. Every day, we work to produce your translations to a high standard. We also work in accordance with the international translation standard and are committed to delivering your specialist translations on time, including express translations and large orders.
What matters in a high-quality specialist translation
These aspects are essential for an authentic, high-quality translation:
- Native-Speaker Principle: every translation is carried out by a translator working into their native language, without exception. That way, linguistic nuances are rendered authentically, and country-specific and cultural aspects are taken into account.
- Experienced specialist translators: extensive industry knowledge is essential when translating specialist texts. It is the only way to get the terminology, phrasing and tone exactly right, and the devil is often in the detail. Complex medical or technical translations can only be produced by native speakers with in-depth background knowledge, for example through a degree or training in the relevant field.
- Translation technology: today there is a wide range of software that supports translators in their work. These are not free, off-the-shelf programs that translate a text automatically. They recognise similar phrases and word combinations and reuse them once the translator has translated them. We use this technology to support our translators and keep terminology consistent.
- Many years of experience: Lingovo’s team has worked in the translation industry for many years, well before the company was founded. We know what both business and private clients expect and can meet requirements of every kind. We also select only vetted specialist translators who can demonstrate broad experience of their own.
Independent translation review
Our first criterion when selecting a translator is that they meet the qualifications set out in the international standard for translation services.
In some cases, however, it can make sense to add an optional independent translation review.
In an independent translation review, a second, independent and vetted specialist translator checks the finished translation.
Get in touch if you would like to add an independent translation review to your order.
