Translation Service

Independent Review of Translations You Already Have.

Translation quality review and audit for businesses that want an independent check on existing translations. We identify terminology errors, consistency issues, fluency problems, and style guide violations.

Translation Quality Review

If you have existing translations and you are not confident about their quality, or if you have changed agencies and want an independent assessment of the work you are inheriting, that is exactly what this service addresses.

Translation QA is not the same as proofreading. A proofreader might fix a comma. A translation quality reviewer compares the target text against the source, checks that meaning is accurately rendered, identifies terminology inconsistencies, flags calques and false friends, assesses register and tone against the intended audience, and identifies any cultural adaptation issues.

We deliver a structured review report that categorizes errors by type and severity. Major errors that change meaning are flagged differently from minor fluency issues. This makes it easier to decide which corrections are business-critical and which can be deferred.

We also offer terminology audits for businesses that have accumulated translations over many years without a consistent glossary. We identify all instances of a term, how it has been translated across the corpus, and recommend a consistent standard going forward.

For ongoing translation programmes, we can provide periodic QA sampling rather than full review of every document, which gives you quality assurance at a sustainable cost.
