Translation agency
A document, website or communication may need to be understood by readers in another language without losing its purpose or important detail. Specify the source and target languages, audience and intended use, and explain any confidentiality or receiving-authority requirements before sharing the full material securely.
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
Typical tasks
- Assess language pair and subject
- Clarify intended use
- Prepare terminology and file requirements
- Coordinate translation and review
- Deliver the agreed language versions
What to include in your brief
- Source and target languages
- Document or content type
- Intended reader and use
- File format and volume
- Confidentiality and formal requirements
Choosing the right professional
Ask who will translate and review the work, how subject competence is checked and how confidential files are handled. Confirm whether layout, localisation or certification is required; an agency label alone does not establish that a translation will meet every recipient's rules.
Important considerations
- An unclear intended use can lead to unsuitable output
- Terminology may differ by market
- Confidential files may be exposed through unapproved tools
