Quality management via in-house proofreaders and translation memory (TM)

To maintain the precision needed in technical documents, our proofreading process centers around in-house native proofreaders. We use past translation assets known as Translation Memory (TM) to standardize terms and expressions, relying on human review to check context and subtle nuances that are difficult for machines to evaluate. This combination of proofreading and TM processing allows us to effectively manage the quality of translations.

Strategic Deployment of AI, Machine, and Human Translation

For projects prioritizing accuracy and expressive quality, we pair translator and proofreader checks with Translation Memory (TM). When prioritizing cost and turnaround time, we utilize machine translation or AI translation with translator review and revision (post-editing). We carefully consider the features of each approach to design processes that align with your translation objectives, budget, delivery timeline, and quality demands.

Translation Processes Optimized to Meet Your Needs

Strong Support Through Technology and Infrastructure

Project Assignment and Management Supported by a Translation Ecosystem

We have built a unique Translator Management System to handle multilingual rollouts and high-volume translation projects. The database contains over 1,000 translators globally, and centralizes a variety of information including their fields of expertise, past track records, compatible computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, and evaluation histories regarding quality, cost, and lead time.

Cross-referencing project parameters such as target language, domain, volume, deadline, and necessary CAT tools with our translator database allows us to select the ideal translators for every job. We pair data-informed translator assignment and workflow management with rigorous in-house proofreading to deliver the optimal production system for large-scale, multilingual projects.

Reliable Native Translation Covering Rare Languages

Our basic policy is to assign native speakers of the target languages to handle translations. With extensive experience translating over 100 languages and a strictly managed translator network, we can deliver natural, authentic expressions that resonate locally—even for complex multilingual rollouts involving rare languages.

Maximizing the Value of Your Assets with Client-Specific Translation Memory (TM) Management

We leverage our vast translation volume and experience in over 100 languages to deliver customized, strictly managed Translation Memory (TM) assets for every client. Optimizing your accumulated data eliminates terminology drift and locks in consistent brand messaging across all channels. Whether handling massive volumes of content or frequent updates, we make effective use of your translation assets to ensure steady, highly accurate multilingual output.

Managing Translation Quality with a Structured Checking System

We perform strict proofreading according to in-house rules based on quality control standards set by international translation organizations such as GALA (Globalization and Localization Association) and ATA (American Translators Association). By combining linguistic checks and proofreading by our own native proofreaders with automated checks by our proprietary AI-powered proofreading support tools, we can detect missing or inconsistent numerical values, symbols, and terminology. The results of these checks are registered in our translator database. This system creates a comprehensive feedback loop that delivers guidance while deepening collaborative partnerships capable of maintaining a consistently high level of translation quality.

Translation Processes Optimized to Meet Your Needs

We design processes aligned with your translation objectives, quality standards, turnaround time, and budget by integrating human translation, machine translation, AI translation, proofreading, and Translation Memory (TM).

Human Translation Using Translation Memory (TM)

This translation process leverages our accumulated translation memory (TM) data, combining translation by native speakers with rigorous review by our in-house proofreaders. While TM ensures consistent terminology and improved efficiency, human review refines the context and domain-specific nuances that machines miss. This approach is ideal for instruction manuals, technical documentation, and other materials requiring strict accuracy and consistency.

Machine Translation (Hybrid Machine Translation)

This process utilizes an advanced engine that combines rule-based systems (grammar and dictionaries) with statistical models (data analysis). This approach is best suited for large volumes of technical documents and internal assets where it’s essential to maintain quality while simultaneously shortening lead times and cutting costs. After translation, machine checks are performed by proofreading tools, with a proofreader polishing the results to ensure overall quality without compromising turnaround times.

AI Translation

This translation approach leverages the latest Generative AI engines, making it best suited for materials where turnaround speed and cost reduction take top priority, or where understanding the general nuance is good enough. Processing is conducted in a secure, closed environment designed for business use, eliminating concerns about input data leaking externally or being repurposed for AI training. To prevent AI-specific hallucinations and deliver business-ready quality, we also recommend combining this service with translator post-editing.
