When you need a professional translation service, you definitely count on a quality translation implemented within the deadline.
However, accuracy and the speed of translating can often be affected by the preliminary preparation of the texts or documents to be translated. In order to achieve better results and speed up the whole process, it is a good idea to consider several factors about the material you will hand over for translation. As a client, you have general control over these factors.
The process is not complicated at all, of course, so you have nothing to worry about. Here are some factors which may facilitate or hinder the implementation of high-quality translations within the necessary deadline.
Several main requirements
There are a lot of things you can do in order to obtain a quality translation without wasting time and effort, but today we will share with you the main ones.
Legible materials
It is of utmost importance to provide legible materials – the translator has no way of knowing what your surname is or exactly how much the turnover of your company was last year.If you place an online order for translation and take a picture of the document with your phone, you need to ensure that the quality is good enough and no parts of the text are cropped in the picture.
If you send a scanned document, check if the text is clearly visible and whether there are blurred words. Trust us, the translator will be so grateful for that!
If the document is handwritten, deciphering the text takes more time and thus may lead to a higher price and a longer deadline for your order.
Specificity and information
For a successful and fast translation, you should also share information regarding your expectations and requirements. Let’s say that you need to have your company website translated – in that case you need to figure out exactly what you expect to be translated, which pages of the site, and whether you would like to have texts within images translated as well, for example.Additional information that would be appreciated includes specific details about the target audience of the texts, specific dialect (if any) and the register you expect the text to conform to.
If you are a company, you may prepare a short thesaurus containing terms specific for your field or company – how you would like them to be translated, or words which you would like to be kept in the same way in the target language. This would be very useful for ensuring accuracy and would save you the time and effort related to subsequent corrections.
Realistic deadline
Last but not least in terms of importance is setting a realistic deadline. Very often, clients are not aware that various factors such as the volume, language, terminology have an impact on setting a realistic deadline and expect a high quality translation to be done in no time.However, quality translation takes time, and by applying our ARTE 5Е system, each translation we produce is also checked by a reviser in line with the Four Eyes method.
Do you need legalisation?
At arte.doc Translation Agency we also provide a legalization service for documents.
In case you need a legalization, the document you provide must meet the administrative requirements. You can find out about the requirements for your specific document on our website or you can make use of the free consultation we offer by calling us at: + 359 897 070 485.
You should also know that the process of legalization takes longer because the legalization of a document entails a certification at specific state institutions, each of which offers different deadlines for implementation.
If you are sending a document for legalization from another location or from another country, you should also take into account the time needed for the document to reach us, and then be translated, legalized and sent back to you.
At arte.doc Translation Agency we always strive to meet the client’s requirements as fast as possible while ensuring maximum quality. Our specialists have extensive experience and we can guarantee high quality work within a realistic deadline.
