Managing your project

  • 1

    Receive and analyze

    The sales department receives your request first. They take the time to understand what you need and gather all the necessary information so your project can be completed successfully. If the complexity of your project warrants it, they will call on our engineering team to analyze your files. The sales team evaluates the time and total cost of the work to be completed and sends you an appropriate quote.

    Check quality

    The expert linguists send their finished work to the project manager who completes quality control. If requested by the client, revision and/or proofreading may be completed before quality control. We strongly recommend these services for any sensitive materials. They will be completed by a second linguist.

Controlling quality on your project

Our translation agency always performs quality control before each delivery. This check is completed internally by a project manager.

Quality control includes:

  • Checking spelling, grammar and syntax
  • Verifying line breaks and capitalization
  • Verifying that the instructions were followed to the letter
  • Checking for inconsistent terminology
  • Verifying numbers, layout and formatting
