On Quality Control
We always had a hard time
understanding why so many companies are switching translators
all the time, missing out on the benefit of the translator
getting in-depth knowledge of the products etc.
ROn the other
hand, we have seen the strangest cases that
might explain this, like one translator
actually accepting jobs in languages he
did not even speak, simply using "machine translations" off a
website, and just relying on the fact that the client probably
had no knowledge of the actual language either!
Or the "translator" calling us for work, offering
some less common languages.
We switched the
conversation to the language she was offering, and
she hung up the phone :-)
Our translators are tested in the
specific fields and language combinations we ask them to do,
no exception, and we keep close track on the quality of each
individual translator.
