Translation Review and LQA Services
CSOFT’s translation review and linguistic quality assurance (LQA) services ensure that every translation project reaches completion with the highest degree of specified quality.
For translation projects coordinated through diverse teams of translators, rather than a single language service provider (LSP), translation review services and linguistic quality assurance (LQA) from a third-party provider may be necessary to ensure the accuracy and consistency of final deliverables. By implementing a single point of accountability for the quality of documents handled by different translators and linguists, companies can reduce many risks of undertaking their translation project management. In some cases, adding that focal point may be necessary to make suitable investments in poor-quality translations from other LSPs or in situations where an LSP lacks the resources to provide an in-country review for your target market.
Regardless of circumstance, companies seeking translation reviews must utilize professional, in-country linguists with subject matter expertise in the relevant content areas, making a dependable LSP a necessary partner for this final review stage. With more than 10,000 in-country linguists who specialize in LQA for products entering world markets, CSOFT can work with translations from machines, multiple unrelated vendors, or individual linguists sourced in-house to ensure that all your content is delivered to specification. Our translation review specialists are trained to identify and eliminate a full range of translation issues, including:
- Mistranslations
- Terminology Errors
- Grammar and Spelling Mistakes
- Missing Translations
- Readability and Testing Issues
- Subject Matter Accuracy
- Cultural and Regional Appropriateness
Applying Industry-standard Best Practices for LQA
The linguistic quality assurance process can involve a range of translation review services depending on the content type you are localizing, its primary publication medium, and the specific requirements of your target market. Of these, the most important are:
- In-Country Review (ICR)
- Functional Testing
- Linguistic Testing
- Terminology Management and Style Guide Implementation
Beyond the linguistic accuracy and suitability of a piece of content, LQA must ensure that final deliverables can be formatted within the provided medium in the target language, such as an app interface or webpage layout. That crucial terminology is then standardized and applied consistently throughout your content. The complexities of language—varying text lengths, directions, and terminologies—demand rigorous evaluation to achieve seamless user experiences. Our detailed process assesses the consistency of terminology within user interfaces, safeguarding against confusion and maintaining the integrity of your software’s management.
