Delivery and quality control

Scope, review path and delivery for File Evaluation.

Step 01

Intake and scope

Scope, format, deadline and glossary are agreed in writing at intake, so nothing is renegotiated later and the brief is fully documented.

Step 02

Terminology preparation

A project glossary is locked before drafting, so sector terms stay consistent across the whole file and future revisions.

Step 03

Translation

A domain translator drafts your file against the locked glossary, preserving layout, register and the exact wording of the source.

Step 04

Second-reader review

A separate linguist verifies terminology, numbers, dates and names line by line, never the original translator.

Step 05

Formatting and delivery

Fonts, tables, headers and numbering are rebuilt to match the source, and the final file is checked against it before it ships.

Common questions

Answers are limited to what we can confirm at intake.

How is enterprise & api handled?
It depends on the language pair and the document set. We review the file, confirm the receiving institution's requirements, then send the scope and the date in writing →nothing is quoted from a template.
Who reviews user demand rankings before it is sent?
A second reader reviews the translation against the source before delivery. Terminology stays on the list agreed at intake and formatting is checked on the output file.
Who reviews translation assessment before it is sent?
We do not publish a fixed price for this because the work varies. After intake you get a written figure that does not change unless the document set changes.
How long does 2 page free trial take?
Scans and phone photos are accepted for most documents. If legibility is a problem we tell you what to re-shoot rather than guessing at the text.
What do you need from me for customer cases?
If it depends on the receiving office we will not claim otherwise. Where the requirement is unclear we say it is unclear and tell you exactly what to ask them.
How long does sitemap take?
It depends on the language pair and the document set. We review the file, confirm the receiving institution's requirements, then send the scope and the date in writing →nothing is quoted from a template.
