Choosing the right translation service
Choosing the right translation service
If you are searching for a professional translation service you probably are serious about your translation needs and would rather hire a translation agency or professional freelancer instead of trying the free translation tools you can find online or get that friend of a friend who speaks Spanish and who would do it for so very little money. For starters you already know what you get with the “free” online translations and really doubt you could get a quality translation from someone who lacks the training and experience that a professional translator can offer. In the end, for you quality is paramount and you rightfully deserve it if you are paying for it.
Quality control
Whether you end up hiring the services of a translation agency or a professional freelancer the quality control process has to cover all aspects related to linguistics, culture and accepted business practices. In a translation agency, this involves the process of selecting translators and supervising them as well as counting with qualified editors and proofreaders who ultimately are in charge of quality verification. In addition to that, agencies must have a functional and efficient structure which includes project managers also trained in translation.
TSC – Translation Services Canada guarantees the quality of your translations. We do not outsource cheap translators across the globe. We only work with highly qualified, native, specialized translators in English, French and Spanish. We have a small but highly competent team and never take an order that we cannot guarantee. We want to stay this way, and keep our clients in the family.
Professional Experience
So you have friends who speak the language, but are they trained? Do they have the skills and the experience? Even graduated translators cannot guarantee you the quality that you need. It takes years of experience to build a capable translator. Translation is not a word by word process. Leave that to the computers and you’ll see what you get. Ever tried the Google language tools? Have you tried Babylon? We would all be out of business if it weren’t for the simple fact that it takes more than a computer to do a translation. How about cultural aspects, intent and so many other factors that computers cannot understand?
Greed or Reputation?
Well, the truth is that qualified translators are scarce in Toronto and the way for many translation agencies today who want your money at any cost is to outsource translators who are thousands of miles away to lower their operation costs at the expense of quality. Just think of it as all those cheap Chinese goodies you find in any store. Are you always satisfied with their quality? Think again.
There’s nothing wrong with that business model. It all depends on priorities and TSC set its priorities right from the very beginning. For us reputation is the most important thing. To lower our costs we keep a small team and do not pretend to be able to handle every order. In fact on many occasions we have to turn down orders because we do not have the time to comply with the deadline the client requests or the particular expertise required of the translation, but we remain profitable even in these times of crisis.
If you need a professional, experienced and highly trained team to handle your translation projects then you have come to the right place. Let TSC – Translation Services Canada show you what we’ve got. Request your Free No Obligation Quote Today!
