Project scope
We handle business, technical, legal, marketing and personal documents. For interpreting, provide the date, location, format and subject. Language direction, staffing and timing are confirmed after reviewing the brief.
Language and regional requirements
Specify the target market and platform, including regional usage, writing direction, character display or layout requirements.
Delivery and review
Share the source, reference translations, terminology and target format. Agreed checks cover names, figures, units, formatting and completeness. Recurring projects can retain terminology and version records.
Agree the language variety and naming rules
- Check characters such as ? and ? and similar legacy glyphs, and confirm organization names and abbreviations; recheck the final file after font substitution.
- For ambiguous short phrases, provide surrounding sentences, screen context or a subject definition rather than asking for a choice from an isolated word.
A ready-to-use enquiry checklist
- Source → target language, target country or locale, readers and specific use.
- Representative source files, volume and formats; identify typesetting, stamps or system import requirements.
- Organization/product names, terminology references, open questions, review window and intended use date; for interpreting add time, place and format.
