Quality starts with the brief, the right language and subject expertise, and a workflow that checks meaning, terminology, numbers, formatting and intended use before delivery.
The exact review route depends on the project, but the same questions matter: what is the content for, who will use it, what terminology must be protected, and what file or certification format is required?
Confirm the document type, language pair, intended use, reference material and delivery format.
Assign the content to suitable language and subject expertise for the brief.
Check meaning, terminology, names, numbers and consistency at the level appropriate to the project.
Review formatting, completeness, placeholders and delivery requirements before handover.
Return the agreed files and clarify any certification or follow-up requirements included in the scope.
Legal, medical, financial, technical and business content is matched to appropriate subject experience where the brief requires it.
Reference material, glossaries and previously approved wording can be used to keep recurring terminology consistent.
Dates, figures, names, references and formatting receive specific attention because small errors can change meaning.
The translation is prepared for the actual destination: internal use, publication, a customer journey or an official requirement.
If a delivered file raises a question about wording, formatting or the original brief, contact the project team with the relevant passage and context so it can be reviewed against the agreed scope.
