4 Mistakes to Avoid When Ordering a Professional Translation
Do you know what all successful international companies have in common? They take advantage of high-quality professional translation services.
Whether you need to translate a simple document or want to create a multilingual website, a poor translation can ruin your plans or, worse, your reputation.
Here are a few common mistakes you can avoid when ordering a translation for your business.
1. Failing to Give Specific Instructions
A translation is much more than replacing one word with another in a different language. It can turn a hard-to-read, clunky text into a flowing essay that makes a reader laugh or cry. But only if you give a translator correct instructions.
What is the purpose of the document? What are the emotions it should induce? Where will it be used or published? Share your plans and expectations.
2. Not Sharing Supporting Literature
If you are ordering a technical translation, you may want to help the translator. Of course, experts are likely to find all the necessary information on their own. However, wouldn’t it be better to speed up the process by sharing what you already have?
For example, if your translation is related to something as complex as agricultural machinery repair, don’t hesitate to provide the company with a couple of manuals.
Translators have a tough job of becoming experts in whatever subject they are translating. Consider giving them a hand.
3. Forgetting to Check the Original Document
A common mistake that leads to utter unhappiness with the translator’s work is the low original document quality.
Check the document before sending it to the translation company. How accurate is it? Does it contain everything you need? If you aren’t happy with the original text, you are unlikely to enjoy the translation.
4. Neglecting to Set Time Limits
Even though a translation is a creative process, as a customer, you have the right to set time limits. If you need the result by a certain date, make sure to voice your needs. Don’t expect the translator to hurry if you don’t set a deadline.
Many top-notch companies are overwhelmed with orders. If you want your translation to get top priority, share your requirements.
Conclusion
A professional translation is a collaborative effort of the translator and the client. By spending a little time voicing your needs, setting time limits, and sharing supporting materials, you can achieve excellent results.
Our company can help you avoid the above mistakes. For more information, please contact us at any convenient time.

Human Translation vs. Computer Translation Services
There are two main options when you want to translate a letter, article, book or other document from one language to another. You can use automatic computer software or work with a human translator. What are the pros and cons?
Accuracy
Computer-based translation is quick and costs very little. Its accuracy has gradually improved over the years. Nonetheless, well-qualified human translators still perform this service with greater accuracy. There are several reasons why.
The same word or sentence can mean different things in different situations. Computer-based (Machine Translation) translation will often get the word arrangement incorrect creating an awkward reading style that doesn’t sound fluent. People understand context with much more success than computer software. They often have larger vocabularies as well. Humans also recognize things like humor, sarcasm and metaphors.
Customization
People are better at modifying translations to suit specific countries or regions. For example, Australians use somewhat different spelling and slang than Americans. A human can also customize translations to fit in a certain number of pages, words or characters.
Readability
Even if a computer’s output doesn’t contain any errors, it may have awkward or dull phrasing. A translator with decent writing skills can make the content more engaging and interesting while ensuring that the target audience can comprehend it.
Responsibility
Human service providers will (at at least should depending on your provider) take some responsibility for the quality of their work and will guarantee accuracy versus no guarantee with machine translation. They understand that mistakes can result in negative consequences. On the other hand, a computer isn’t held accountable for errors and doesn’t treat important documents any differently than other texts.
This is important because translation mistakes can have a lasting impact. A business agreement might become unenforceable, someone could damage a machine by operating it incorrectly or an expensive advertisement may be rendered incomprehensible.
The bottom line is that human translation demands more time and money, but it produces far better results. And for heavens sake, don’t use Google translate to be your vetting tool against a full-human translated document – you’ll only embarrass yourself.

Integrating Your Marketing Efforts with Translation Services
What do you expect when you get translation services? Most people want to be sure to preserve the meaning of the original while still maintaining a good writing style in the destination language. And preserving meaning is probably the most important facet of translation. However, there are also other things that must be considered, such as how your audience is going to react to a certain translation.
Cultural Biases in the West
Sometimes, you can use a certain advertising/marketing campaign in one country/region, but you can’t use it in another. This is because every advertisement uses cultural biases in order to sell a product. For example, you might have an advertisement featuring a blonde woman in order to sell a certain brand of hair dye. This might be very effective in the West. In the United States and in many parts of Europe, women like to dye their hair blonde.
Cultural Biases in the East
When you’re trying to sell hair dye in India, a picture of a blonde woman is unlikely to work because women just don’t dye their hair blonde in India. They might go with various shades of brown or auburn instead. So there’s a cultural bias at work here, in the states as well as in India. This cultural bias has to be considered when you’re selling a product in a different country.
Changing Your Marketing Message
So you could take your brand of hair dye to India but you would probably only be able to sell it in shades of brown and auburn, not blonde. And if your marketing message is based largely on the lighter shades you’re selling, then you will need to change it completely rather than just translating it into a different language.
Integrating Marketing and Translation
A good translator will probably be able to tell you what type of cultural bias you’re dealing with. They’ll also be able to tell you which marketing slogan is likely to work and which isn’t. The best idea, however, is to also get your marketing team involved and do some research about how your product will go over in the country where you’re trying to sell it. Once you understand the cultural biases you’re dealing with, you’ll also be able to come up with the best marketing slogan and translate it in a way that appeals to your clientele.

Website Translation Services: Reach Your Global Audience
When it comes to translating a website, there are many things you will need to consider. One of the important things you should know is that 25 percent of internet users are English speakers. This means over 70 percent of the users on the internet are not native English speakers. It is not surprising that over 3/4 of users shopping online will not purchase a product if the language of the website is not in the language of their native land.
After businesses have a better understanding that internet users prefer to shop online on a website that allows them to shop and contact someone from your website in their native language the business should take the correct steps in creating a plan and strategy that will improve the level of customer service.
One of the things businesses should do to ensure they are able to create a strategy that increases your visibility increases your growth, and increases the number of satisfied customers you have is to invest in website translation services. If you are not familiar with website localization, you should know that it is the action of making adjustments to a website in terms of language and culture. Website localization can be completed by doing the following:
- making adjustments to the design and/or layout of the website
- making the proper adjustments as it relates to dates, currency, etc.
We also recommend selecting and presenting your content in an appropriate manner due to the differences in culture and language terms. When you use the right website translation services and when you use website localization services, your business and the products/services you sell will be introduced to a wide range of people who live in places you may have never visited.
When you have a better understanding of the people who are more likely to visit your website, you will be able to have a better understanding of the type of content, images, layout, etc. you should use on your website. You will be able to create an effective marketing strategy that will allow you to have the global presence you want to have.
When you have the choice of browsing a website that is written in your native language or a website that is written in a language you do not understand, which option do you choose? The majority of people will make the decision to choose the website that is written in their preferred language.
Professional translation services will provide businesses with the tools they need to ensure their website’s content will not get lost in translation. As easy as it may be to use a free language-translation tool, we recommend using a professional translation service that has experience in translating websites that want to reach a global audience.
