Choose your translation services wisely.
Translation is really important in today’s world where people try to connect to each other however way possible. Doing a job abroad or studying abroad is no more a big deal but before you go to some other country for settlements you need to translate your documents to the official language of that country. Know beforehand, what characteristics to look for in a translation service.
1. You will now get many companies that provide translation services because with the availability of CAT tools and translation software the process of translation got faster and cheaper but they will not provide you with the same quality as human translators. We have seen how Google translate, being the best translation software, has its own flaws which are sometimes hilarious. So you cannot depend on the software to give you the best results because it overlooks certain phrases which once translated, either makes no sense or is considered to be offensive. Translations by a certified translator won’t have those errors.
2. You must know your requirements really well. We always want our work to be done at the most lowest price but before you settle for the translation service that is offering you considerably low rates than the usual, don’t settle! The first thing that a translation service will cut off to give you a low rate is their quality assurance(QA) process, don’t go for that or else you’ll have severe consequences later on. QA process is the most significant step in providing you the best quality.
3. In this era where social media is of great importance, a well-established company will maintain its social media appearance at any cost. See their social media accounts, how much active they are, how often they post and also emphasis on the comments section. Also see their domain and e-mail address that weather their domain is hosted on a free server or not. Even for a new start-up it is quite affordable to get a paid hosting and an e-mail server.
4. Ask your translation service that how much time they will take to complete your project and see whether you are okay with the time allotted. Check one thing though, how much time they take to address to your queries during their office hours. If the time taken by them to reach you is more than 30 minutes then you might understand yourself how much delay they may do while completing your project.
