Okay, so you’ve decided to order translation services for the first time. Mana Translation will provide you with a few tips on making this process much more efficient and saving time on communication with your language vendor
Preparing files for translation
There are three important aspects to consider
before you send your files to your business partner: strategic, technical and
linguistic.
The strategic aspect is the most basic one. In this phase
you decide which languages you need your files to be translated into, what is
the purpose of the translation, whether it is usability for your clients,
internal use for your offices abroad, or maybe building a marketing ground for
your products, and also a timeframe and other management planning.
The linguistic part is about things that will be sent to the
translation company. Preparing guidelines for translators and proofreaders and
creating a glossary are the most important as they help to keep your
terminology consistent within many projects.
Technical is the phase when you prepare your files to be
sent to your language partner. You can ask a localisation company to take care
of that, but you can also prepare everything within your firm with the help of
freelance language specialists. What are the possibilities to do within the
technical aspect? You can prepare your files to be translated in CAT tools, advanced
software that allows you to prepare a glossary (even with pictures!), lock
parts of your texts that are not to be edited, manage time frames, and much
more.
Freelance Language Specialists
Outsourcing translation services has many
benefits and it is a popular business decision. In many cases, start-ups or
even the long-existing companies don’t need a linguist to be present at their
office for a full-time job. Hiring specialists for a specific project is a real
money and time saver.
