Question 1

How does a term list ensure consistent translations?

Accepted Answer

Building a robust term list is the base for accurate translations, but is not sufficient, per se, for ensuring consistency. Quality Assurance (QA) Tools automatically identifies terms and gives alerts when a term is not consistent with the term list.

Question 2

How should I compile a term list?

Accepted Answer

A term may be used variously in different cases, so it is important to provide linguists with additional information. For example, you may provide definitions for specific terminology, parts of speech, context, and usage notes to receive the maximum quality of translation.

Question 3

What stages does my project go through before delivery?

Accepted Answer

First, you may visit our website and/or contact our professionals. Then, you need to submit the file to be translated or you may send your file to our team. We check the content and detect your needs. After that, expert linguists are assigned to work on the project and the translation process starts. Before or during translation, you might be contacted for the approval of terminology, through which we eliminate possible post-translation problems and confidently maintain the translation process. Then, the file is edited by other expert linguists. Finally, a perfectly localized file is delivered to you.

Question 4

How do I create a quote for translation services?

Accepted Answer

You can go to Hareword’s order page. Choose the service type and the language pair, upload your files and state your specific requests. Then, we’ll send you a quote. After you get the quote, you need to make the payment. Once we get your payment, we start your translation project.

Question 5

What is Quality Assurance (QA)?

Accepted Answer

Quality Assurance (QA) in translation is the process of ensuring that translations are accurate and meet the client's requirements. QA involves checking translations against the original text, as well as against standards or style guides. It also includes proofreading for grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes.

Question 6

What is Machine Translation, and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Machine Translation is an AI-based translation technology that uses advanced neural network models and matching algorithms to produce high-quality translations (80%+ accuracy in almost every language). The technology also constantly learns from your edits, meaning it gets better results each time.
