Document Translation Process | The Specification Phase

The Specification Phase

Project Planning

We encourage and ensure direct interaction between Project Manager and client prior to starting

any

translation work. Effective communication is imperative between the two to ensure a

successful

completion of the project. During this phase, all the project parameters are indicated

and the project key

components are specified starting from the Source language, to the Target

language.

Project Language Analysis

By analyzing the source documents tone, style, coding requirements and the appropriate target

audience enables us to be consistent in the usage of terminology and ensures that the

appropriate

message remains intact and is conveyed in a logical manner without compromise

throughout the entire

document translation process.

Project Technical Specifications

Once the scope of the translation project is determined, other translation components such as the

project specific terminology database compilation and conceptual framework requirements are

also

specified. In summation, it is absolutely necessary for our “Project Manager” to fully

understand the

client’s goals, objectives, and technical specifications as well as any additional

components such as

formatting, deliverables, and deadlines associated with the project.

Project Timeline Construction

Once the scale & scope of the translation project is adequately determined, a project completion

timeline

for the overall project is established which details the specific requirements of the

project. At this point,

all necessary source files, terminology glossaries, approved lexical and style

guidelines, and technical

specifications related to the project received from the client are efficiently

compiled. This enables the

document translation team to assess the most appropriate and

reliable means to achieve the best

possible solution for the document translation’s purpose and

effectiveness with regard to the target

audience.

Project Toolkit Compilation

To effectively accomplish our client’s requirements we utilize the most efficient tools such as

Computer-

aided translation (CAT) software, translation memories, and structured quality control

processes which

are implemented into the translation project. By identifying the subject field

parameters, the translation

project work flow procedures, and the intended use of the translation

localization necessary for the

specific project specifications allows for future benefits to our client

from initiation through completion of

the project.
