Receives translation

Each translation is assessed by our proofreader or QA manager using our checklist of common mistakes. This checklist and its score are sent to the translator along with the edited text.

This way, translators always see their mistakes. The scores are summarised by our General Manager, and translators who score excellent marks over the course of several months receive a premium bonus. We only work with translators who deliver excellent work. All of this means that our translators are motivated to do their best and deliver nothing but high-quality results.

In all cases, our translations are always proofread, because to err is human. Even if there are no errors, our proofreaders and QA managers can often improve the text stylistically or find a better alternative translation. Two heads are better than one.

We assign only native speakers of the target language with at least five years’ translation experience in a relevant area. So, e.g., our English into Russian translations are carried out by native Russian-speaking professionals, and English into Ukrainian translations by native Ukrainian-speaking professionals. When we translate from Polish, Russian or Ukrainian into English we involve native English-speaking linguists.
