Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. When looking for translation services, it's important to ask if the people running the company are translators themselves. World Language Communications is run by certified government cleared translators who understand the requirements of clients, big and small, as well as the work flow needs of translators from a translators point of view, which increases productivity and keeps costs down.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. It is very important to hire translators who have a deep understanding, even a specialization, in the area they are translating. If a translator can speak a language fluently, that does not mean that person can translate it and even if they can translate it well, the translation will be far more accurate if translator has a specialization in the subject area. For example, an excellent career translator of medical documents is not necessarily the right translator for mechanical engineering documents.
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. How long has the translator who will be translating my document been translating in the requested language combination and are they a 100% native translator of the target language. Also, depending on the nature of the job, is the translator certified for court, medical, state, federal or in a certain specialization. Also, if the size of the project is very large and there are inherent risks involved, does the service provider carry professional liability insurance or some form of E&O insurance?
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. The most important information a buyer should have on hand when approaching a translation agency is how many words does the document contain, when do they need the document completed by, and if they need a certified translator or a qualified one. Also, if the project is a very large, do they want only one translator to do it or will they accept multiple translators, which also means multiple proofreaders. Have they budgeted for both translation and proofreading on large jobs? How much formatting is required and are there certain software programs that the translator is required to use?
