As globalisation alters the way business is conducted, the accurate communication of information across languages takes on an increasing importance. When a foreign client or customer's impression of you is solely dependent upon your company's literature, it is critical that this literature is as well written in their native language as it is in yours. You want the message to read the same way in both languages so that there is no room for misunderstanding, but you also want to feel confident that your message is delivered as accurately and professionally in their language as it is in yours. Naturally, since you are unlikely to know the language you are wanting your literature to be translated in well enough to be able to do it yourself, you enter into a position of trust with the company you have given the job to. This article assists you in making the decision of which company to entrust the work to.

The first thing to determine is whether the translation company has enough translators in the mother-tongue you want your work translated into to be able to do the volume of work you require to a sufficiently high standard. Bear in mind that translation can often be done in stages, with an employee whose mother tongue is the same as yours doing a rough translation into the foreign language, followed by a rewriter whose mother tongue is the language into which the article has been translated editing the translation so that it reads accurately and fluently. Depending on the specific nature of the work, you might also require this rewriter to have a specific knowledge of a designated country or business field. For example, if you are an IT company, it is worth checking whether the translation company has translators skilled in writing IT related copy, and if you wish legal documents translated, it might be an idea to ask whether the company has any translators who specialise in legal translations.

Testimonials

Alliance and Leicester

As someone who was "volunteered" to arrange a party for around 200 people with a "different theme" I had no idea where to start. The person from Approved Index was incredibly helpful and put me in touch with a range of companies who came back to me very quickly. I would definitely use Approved Index again.
