The Translation Process

In simplified terms, the translation process involves translators who translate texts from a source language into a target language. This is what many people think of when thinking of translation and, indeed, when requesting quotes for their translation projects.

Nevertheless, within the modern-day, digital environment, the vast majority of translation projects are subject to a series of additional factors which have a direct bearing on the time and the money invested during the translation process, as well as on the quality of the final product.

The most important of these additional factors are as follows:

• The format in which the original text is delivered.
• The format in which the final text is delivered.
• The final use to which the text is destined.

The following pages within this section have been designed to provide you with clear information about the factors that should be borne in mind when requesting a quote for a translation project. By reading this information, we hope that you will be able to obtain optimum results from your current and future translation projects.
