We Provide Accurate Translations
Some of the standards we follow to make sure you get a quality translation service:
1. Translation Matches Source. The number one goal of a translation is to convey the original meaning in another language. A translated text successfully conveying the original meaning is a major sign of accuracy and reliability.
2. Translation is Free of Grammar Errors. Conveying the right meaning is just part of the equation. The translated text should read professionally and free of grammar errors.
3. Terminology is Consistent. A quality translation consistently keeps the same translations for the source technical terms. Consistency keeps the translated text accurate and reliable, particularly in technical, legal, and medical translations.
4. Writing Style is Appropriate. When translated, a business text should keep the business tone in the translated text, as a light-hearted advertisement piece should convey the intended meaning accurately in the target language.
5. Translation is Free of Typos. Finally, proofreading to ensure no typos remain and a professional graphic designer to make the translated text look good will be the final touch in an accurate translation service.

Strategies for Selecting a Translation Company
First, you want a translation company that employs certified translators. Having certified translators ensures your company is receiving quality help from accurate translators. Many translation services fail to hire reliable translators, creating many problems. Before signing any contract with a translation company, ensure you have certified translators working on your project.
Second, determine how long the translation service has been in operation. You want a reliable translation company with a broad range of clients and that has been in the industry for over 5 years. Hiring a newly created translation company can put your company at risk.
Third, make sure that your project is assigned to a specialist translator who has experience and background in your field. If you’re a law firm, make sure an experienced legal translator is handling your project. If you’re an engineering firm, make certain the translation company has reliable translators who have a background in translating engineering reports, plans, or documents. Whatever field you conduct your business in, it is vital to hire a translation services company that offers the equivalent experience and background.
Finally, if you want successful results for your business translation needs, choose a translation company that guarantees satisfaction. Many translation services refuse to offer this guarantee because they are not confident in what they can provide.

Meaning of Accuracy in Translation
The most accurate translators will have the following skills:
- they have the quality of being correct or precise
- they provide translation that conforms to the original value or a standard
- they are consistent in the terminology
- they can clearly express a certain meaning
- they have the capacity to retain messages despite differences in languages
Some organizations, such as the European TAUS, have developed quality frameworks to assess quality in translation. TAUS stated goal was to develop some methodology to measure quality in translations while sharing the best practices in such evaluations. The name of their methodology is DQF – Dynamic Quality Framework, which was released in 2014:
- Evaluate the translations using different approaches: Error-typology, fluency, adequacy, comparison, ranking, and post-editing productivity.
- Assess the quality of MT engine output, identifying potential issues to improve the system.
- Online training to use the framework: “The Quality Management course” and the “Post-Editing course.”
- TAUS expects that in the future, there will be enough data to provide bench-marking functionality
- Quality Evaluation in translation requires scores that may be compared within the industry.
You can compare different LSPs using samples before outsourcing a large project. And LSPs can do the same thing with MT engines or freelance translators. The error-typology approach helps pinpoint problems.

By making TAUS DQF publicly available and providing educational programs, like webinars on translation quality and integrating DQF into different tools, courses and workflows, we are trying to address the ongoing challenge of quality and evangelize a dynamic approach to QE. However, there isn’t so far an industry-recognized standard to be applied across the board.
