Our 8-Step Quality Workflow

Every project follows an established, quality-controlled process designed to eliminate errors and maintain terminology discipline across revisions:

  1. Requirement Analysis: Clarifying target audience, locale conventions (Germany/Austria/Switzerland), and delivery milestones.
  2. Source File Review: Assessing file formats, character encoding, tag structures, and formatting preservation.
  3. Terminology Preparation: Developing project glossaries and aligning approved brand terms.
  4. Translation & Localization: Native subject-matter translators execute the primary draft.
  5. Independent Human Review: A second senior linguist conducts a dual-column bilingual review.
  6. Technical Quality Checks: Verifying numbers, units of measure, layout integrity, and tags.
  7. Formatting & DTP: Reconstructing tables, layouts, callouts, and typography.
  8. Final Quality Sign-off & Delivery: Complete deliverable packaged with client-owned translation memories.
