Translation agency — Professionals
Translation-agency leads require language, subject and purpose qualification before quoting. Providers should distinguish translation from interpreting and certification, define review responsibilities and obtain secure file access without claiming universal official acceptance or perfect equivalence from a machine-generated draft.
Service scope
Coordination of written translation between specified languages, matching the subject, intended audience and delivery requirements with suitable translators and review processes. Translation, interpreting, localisation and officially accepted certification are different services and should not be assumed interchangeable.
What is normally included
- Language and document assessment
- Translator and reviewer coordination
- Terminology management
- Delivery in agreed file formats
What is not included
- Automatic acceptance by public authorities
- Spoken interpreting by default
- Unrestricted use of confidential material in external tools
Qualification checks
- Confirm language pair and locale
- Establish subject expertise
- Identify recipient requirements
- Agree confidentiality and tool use
- Define review and file-delivery scope
Quote guidance
Separate translation, independent review, formatting and any formal certification work. State the source-volume basis and how poor scans, changed source files or additional language variants affect effort rather than assuming all pages require the same work.
Lead risks
- The source may be incomplete or unreadable
- Target locales may be unspecified
- The recipient may require a particular professional status or format
