Never used a translation service? Here’s what to expect

Some people many feel daunted about hiring a translation company. Here are a few tips to help you know what to expect with hiring and working with a translation company:

Hire a credited translation company

Some companies try and save money by having someone who is bilingual but non-qualified do their translations. This results in poor quality translation which leads to discrediting your brand and company. Good translators must have an in depth knowledge about both languages, as well as culture appropriateness.

Look at the reviews

When hiring any company, look at the reviews before deciding which company to go with. Keep in mind that not all translation companies have a large amount of reviews, especially smaller companies, but look at what the reviews say. Were documents translated accurately? How was the company’s customer service? Were they easy to work with? These are just a few things to look at when searching through the reviews.

Prepare your documents

Make sure that your document are finalized before sending to the translator. Unfinished documents or making changes later can cost you both time and money. Send the translator the original source file. The better the source file, the more money you’ll save and the document can be translated quicker.   At Same Day Translation, we pride ourselves in making the translation process as easy and quick as possible for our clients without compromising quality or culture appropriateness.Reach out to us at [email protected] if we can help you with any of your upcoming translation needs!
