Other translation services — Translation agency
An unusual file type, multilingual project or mixed language task may not fit the standard options. Describe the material, audience and final use, and explain whether communication is written or live, so the provider can identify the right discipline instead of treating every request as ordinary document translation.
Service scope
Intake for language-conversion requests outside the named website, document, technical, marketing and business translation categories. It establishes whether the task is written translation, localisation, interpreting or another language service before selecting a provider and quotation basis.
What is normally included
- Language-service classification
- Purpose and audience clarification
- Source-format assessment
- Specialist routing and brief preparation
What is not included
- Universal language or subject coverage
- Automatic interpreting capability
- Invented meaning for unclear source text
Typical tasks
- Identify the language task
- Establish source and target requirements
- Assess format and volume
- Determine subject or formal expertise needed
- Define a quotation or referral stage
What to include in your brief
- Material or communication type
- Languages
- Intended use
- Source format
- Required output and timing
Choosing the right professional
Ask the provider to name the service it is actually offering and the relevant expertise. A general agency title does not prove interpreting, specialist certification or technical-file competence, and uncertain source passages should be clarified rather than silently rewritten.
Important considerations
- The enquiry may require interpreting rather than translation
- The format may need specialist extraction
- Formal requirements may not yet be known
