Bridging the Linguistic Quality Gap: How to Measurably Improve Translation Quality

A cornerstone of the translation industry is the quality of the linguistic work completed, yet linguistic quality remains nebulous for many end clients and translation suppliers. Linguistic quality means different things to different organizations and for different types of projects. With lack of measurable quality systems comes the need to add steps to the process to “ensure” quality. This perceived increase in quality (more people looking at the text) results in slower time-to-market and increased costs.

This audio conference looks at how to move from an uncertain quality outcome to measurable, predictable quality, while presenting an approach to defining, measuring and improving linguistic quality within an organization. The speaker also discusses how to utilize these measurements to meet the organization’s business objectives on a broader scale, spanning improvements in cost and time-to-market.

Bridging the Linguistic Quality Gap: How to Measurably Improve Translation Quality is being presented by Sonia Monahan, Executive Vice President, Quality Systems, with ForeignExchange Translations, and airs on Tuesday, November 10, 2009.

EN 15038:2006 - A Tool for Assessing Translation Providers

Do you wish there were objective criteria for assessing your current or prospective translation providers? With so many agencies vying for your business, wouldn't it be nice if you had a checklist you could use for your RFP process or annual vendor reviews? Well, there is help: European standard EN 15038:2006, "Translation Services - Service Requirements." Forget the dry title. This is exciting news to those in the life sciences industry, where metrics and standards are vital. The European Committee for Standardization has done the hard work of creating a way for companies to objectively rate their translation providers.

EN 15038 provides guidance on such topics as human resources, linguist competency, technical resources, project management, client relationships and quality management. In short, it covers all the important areas that will determine the level of service and quality you can expect from your translation provider.
