QUALITY ASSURANCE RULES
• Check target language - general feeling: This involves rereading the target text, without comparing it to the source document, to get a general feeling for logic, flow, style, and grammar.
• Check target language - specifics: The translator checks punctuation, spaces between punctuation, capital letters, and other specific requirements.
• Check source and target text - sentence-by-sentence: The translator compares the source and target text, sentence-by-sentence, for missing sentences, terminology, enumerations, etc.
• Check spelling: The translator always runs a spell checker to avoid spelling mistakes.
• Check layout: The translator checks the layout of the document according to the source, to ensure formatting consistency (i.e., bold words, italics, underlined text, etc.)
• Check localization: The translator rechecks the document to ensure that the text is formatted correctly for the target market; this includes checking the date format, telephone number, postal codes, mailing addresses, and so on, and ensures that the text conforms to the particular language, cultural norms and standards.

SPEED
- CAT tools allow for faster translations because the translator does not need to retranslate previously translated sentences that have been saved into the software’s memory- Project managers have access to a translator database that classifies
translates by language and fields of expertise, thus enabling project managers
immediate access to the most qualified translators available for the project. - Teams of translators work together on large projects such as company
meetings and webinars. Using a team approach, the job can be completed faster while
CAT tools ensure a unified terminology and style throughout the text.

IDENTICAL LAYOUT OF THE DOCUMENT- Our DTP (desktop publishing team) lays out the
translated text to ensure an identical layout to the original. Clients will be
able to print the newly translated document immediately upon delivery.
PROCESS USED TO SATISFY CLIENTS` NEEDS
All translations are properly managed by a project manager:
- EVALUATION AND ASSIGNMENT: We receive a client’s file by e-mail. A project manager evaluates the file and assigns the project to a
translator with that specific area of expertise.- TRANSLATION: The selected translator translates the text using the appropriate terminology.- VERIFICATION: A proofreader checks the completed translation for the proper style, proper sentences, vocabulary, punctuation, etc.- CHECKING AND FORMATTING: Each translation undergoes a final check before delivery to the client. Modifications and revisions may be needed
due to changes during the translation process. For example, it may be
necessary to update the table of contents, page numbers, etc. This is part of our
complete service and high quality standards.- DELIVERY: Upon final approval, the project manager sends the translation to the
client by e-mail.- CONFIRMATION: The client confirms receipt of the translation. This completes the
transaction.

OBJECTIVES ACHIEVED
Each client’s objectives become our own objects as we work on translating documents. Among the more common objectives are:
- Localization – Building a presence in a new market involves translating existing documents using local language conventions and adhering to cultural standards and norms. Using a translator native to the targeted language ensures that the local nuances are not overlooked and that final translation sounds natural to native speakers.
- Communication – A good translation requires that the original message’s meaning is conveyed and never lost. Translators must be completely fluent in both the source and target languages to ensure that the message is appropriately translated.
- Consistency – Consistent and appropriate use of terminology and formatting conventions is a must. Hieroglifs Translations follows a strict quality assurance process and uses CAT tools to ensure consistency throughout the document. All completed translations are ready for printing immediately upon delivery.
