WIT IN TRANSLATION

HOW TO EQUIP YOUR TRANSLATOR FOR SUCCESS

14/9/2018

6 Comments

 

So you have finally found the right translator for your content. Go you!

…….Wait - now what?

Maybe it’s your first time working with a translator and you’re wondering how to make sure you receive an accurate estimate of time and price and you receive top-quality work that aligns with your message.

Let’s take a quick look at 5 of the most important things you can do for your translator:

1 – Send (at the very least) a sample of what you need translated - not all words are created equal: incredibly specific texts in niche fields require much more research and time than a simple newsletter, so the price will vary depending on the text.

Knowing the format of the document is very important as well - trying to decipher a GP’s handwriting from a scanned pdf is almost impossible and takes lots of time compared to tackling a simple Word document – and don’t get me started on those endless Excel strings!

2 - Provide a wordcount - to estimate how much time we need to do a job, we need to know how long the text is. Most translators quote per word, so having a wordcount is essential to provide a quote, too.

3 – If you have a strict deadline, say so right away - we are happy to accommodate your needs but the sooner we know about it, the better (please note most of us charge an urgency fee and a weekend-work fee)

4 – Be available to answer queries - sometimes the context is not enough, sometimes we find an ambiguous word, we might need to ask questions and you are the right person to address. Please help 😊

5 – A style guide - Do you work with copywriters? Do you have documents outlining your style preferences? That might help… A LOT. We can usually infer it ourselves from your website or materials, but if you already have glossaries or style guides, that’s perfect.
 
That’s it, I believe I covered the very basics. Did I leave something out? Do you have any questions? Comment away!

If you're experiencing lag or unresponsiveness, restarting can often be the quickest fix. Depends on whether your system is responsive or frozen. If your laptop is functioning normally, a simple restart via the power menu works well.
