The Top 10 Tips for Translation Projects
We can handle almost anything you throw at us—but consulting this list may help you avoid the most common pitfalls.
1. Identify the target audience for your translation, so that appropriate language dialect and weights & measures are used.
2. Translations are longer than the original by as much as 30%. Remember to provide sufficient “white space” for the extra room needed for the translation.
3. To facilitate a smoother translation, try to keep sentence length to a minimum.
4. Confirm the latest version of your document(s), before beginning the translation process.
5. Please provide files, fonts and graphics in their original, editable, electronic form.
6. Please provide specs for minimum point size and leading. Also, indicate if your graphics are fixed or able to be resized.
7. Please provide us with a contact name for any questions that may arise during the translation process.
8. Our 4-step process is designed to ensure maximum quality and accuracy. To meet your deadlines, forward each document to us as soon as it is completed and ready for translation.
9. Try to be realistic about estimating time required for your translation project. In addition to the time necessary for the translation process remember to include time to review and approve the final file(s).
10. If this is your first project with ASIST and consistency with previous translations is necessary, please provide a translation glossary for key terms, if one is available.
