Collaboration, the best linguists and a stringent Quality Assurance (QA) process! This, alongside a clear briefing and intelligent vendor questions from the start, leads to the best end product. Our adherence to ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 standards, as well as providing the best-qualified translators are what guarantees a translation you can count on. We use native-speaking colleagues to verify the quality of a translation. 

Typically, translators can get through 1,500-2,000 words a day. However, if your project is urgent, we can have a team translating faster in tandem. So, 24-hour turnaround for smaller projects is possible and is how we regularly support our clients.ble.

Google Translate is one form of machine translation. Over the years it has improved in terms of accuracy and intelligibility. Depending on the language, it can give you the basic gist of a foreign text for free, but it should never be used to render your own language into a target language without a human post-editor. Other, more advanced machine translation software is available and is what we use and offer at Dialogue.

Machine translation does the translation itself; translation memory software simply stores everything previously translated in a “translation memory”. The benefits of using Translation Memories are saving translation costs, improving QA and maintaining consistencyusing TMs are saving translation costs, improving QA and maintaining consistency.

Our Silver Service is what you need: machine translation with human proofing at the end of the line. This is your cheapest option and is sufficient for any documentation where you need to get the gist of what is written. It is a lot quicker to process (typically 8,000 words a day + time for human QA checks in comparison to a typical human translation rate of 2,000 words a day). 

Our translation project managers will discuss the scope of your project at the start and advise on service level, depending on your budget and objectives. Anything you intend to publish or print should always get our Platinum Service treatment.
