The translation process
Assessment and quote
You send me a copy of your document. I’ll analyse it and give you a quote and proposed timeline. If you are a new client, I will ask you to pay 50% of the fee upfront.
Translation
I never outsource translations, so you can be sure that your document has been translated by me personally. I use translation technology to recreate the original formatting of your document.
Review by a second professional translator
Two heads are better than one. I send my translation to a trusted colleague who reviews the English for errors, fluency and consistency. Confidentiality is maintained throughout the review stage.
QA
Once I’ve received the reviewed translation, I carry out a number of final checks:
- Spelling and punctuation,
- Common mistakes,
- Numbers and non-breaking spaces,
- Formatting.
Certification (optional)
If you need the English translation to be certified, at this stage I will produce a certificate bearing an ITI seal. If you need hard copies, I will send you printed copies of the original, translation and certificate to a UK address via Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed®.
