In-Country Review

In-country review (ICR), also known as in-house review, third-party review, or client review, is a vital quality assurance process for translated content entering new markets. In an ICR, a subject matter expert (SME) on the client’s side familiar with the relevant industry and product, who is also a native speaker of the language, will check the accuracy of all terminology and messaging to ensure that the translation is linguistically and culturally appropriate for the target audience.

In-house reviews are such an essential aspect of the translation quality assurance process because inconsistent terminology leads companies to require retranslated documents, causing project prices to increase and leading to delays in delivery. CSOFT’s global network of 10,000+ linguists and SMEs can provide companies with comprehensive, accurate in-country reviews that save costs by ensuring accurate and appropriate terminology, messaging, and linguistic and cultural tone.
