The quality of translation lies in the eye of the beholder, making a "good" or "bad" judgement highly subjective. Miscommunication and stylistic preferences often mark these discussions and a surprising number of organizations and translation vendors have no quality system in place at all.

When there is no single, accepted definition of translation quality, how can organizations measure it? This audio conference will help you better understand the proven methodologies for measuring translation quality and sort through the myriad options available to find a solution that is right for you.

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

is being presented by Sonia Monahan, Executive Vice President of Quality Systems, with ForeignExchange Translations and airs Tuesday, June 1st, 2010. For more details or to register, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com

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.
