Quality control – The nuts and bolts of a
good translation
In
order to provide you with a flawless translation, I make a point of
using QA resources and methods to give a text the final touch. That
way, you don't need to worry about translation quality, but are free to
concentrate on your core business!
- Technologies
to ensure terminological and stylistic consistency in the translation
process
- Thorough
self-editing process after each translation
- Use
of the spelling and grammar checker before each delivery
- Tools
for automated QA checking to ensure the translated text meets
client-specific requirements, e.g.:
- Adherence
to preferred terminology
- Avoidance
of forbidden terminology
- QA
tools for checking form and content, e.g.:
- Punctuation
mistakes
- Number
errors
- Missing
/ superfluous spaces
- Incorrect
use of special characters
- Inconsistencies
- Tagging
errors
- Omissions
In
addition to carrying out QA checks for each text I also take long-term
quality assurance measures, for example by attending professional
training events. Through my membership in the Federal
Association of Interpreters and Translators (BDÜ) and my
participation in numerous translator forums, I keep myself up-to-date
about industry news, technological innovations, translator resources
and tools as well as professional training programmes.
