You’re hired by a client because you are supposed to be an expert in your field. With that in mind it’s extremely important to hand over the right deliverables to your clients. Giving your clients the proper format is not only going to save you from a headache, it is also what is rightfully expected from by clients. Be sure to pay extra attention to this because once it is sent there is no taking it back, and that can lead to a lot of confusion, frustration, and loss of dependability.
DELIVER IN THE FORMAT PROMISED

TRANSLATE WITH SUBJECT MATTER
EXPERTS
In the translation world, accuracy matters. It means everything. When it comes to language, it’s all about relaying a thought as accurately as possible. It is the translators responsibility to clearly and accurately share their clients message, it is equally important to accurately relay any responses intended for the client. Without accuracy many things can be lost in translation which can potentially be detrimental to a client. By having top notch translators who are experts in relevant subject matter, clients can be ensured that they are in good hands.

PROOFREAD WITH SECOND TRANSLATOR
Proofreading exists in order to ensure quality and accuracy. However, by applying a second round of proofreading clients can take comfort in knowing that their translations are foolproof. This can be quite useful for clients who have very formal and/or sensitive projects at hand.
