Use the following checklist to help decide if you are ready to employ the translation services of a company:
· Do you sometimes have the impression that your message gets lost in translation?
· Do you feel that your unique expressions and phrases are not reflected in the target text?
· Do you want to be a more successful communicator and representative of your company abroad through the employment of translation services?
· Are your personal and/or company documents, profiles, websites perfectly translated into the language of the market you are trying to reach?
· Do you sometimes feel that the written international communication of the company needs some improvement?
· Would you like to polish the company’s global image by professionally communicating in the target languages?
· Do you feel that you have paid a high-price for a poor quality translation service until now?
The following is a practical checklist that consumers can refer to once hiring the translation services of a company:
· Make sure that you have all the source material ready in advance and delivered at the same time!
· Define your precise requirements in advance!
· Define your price-range and negotiate the costs of the translation service in advance!
· Make sure you are involved in the translation process in case there are inconsistencies!
· Have a copy of all the original documents you have sent for translation, in order to avoid any confusion later on!
I immediately got a call from a moving company who was very professional. We've had good communication, the survey was punctual and they returned a quotation the following day as promised. So far, so good!
