What is Skriibl's method for delivering your perfect translation with transcreation?
1. Initial Contact
Upon receipt of your request, we review the documents and all related materials. We then draft a proposal and contract which sets out the scope of the project including all tasks to be performed, deadlines, our rates, and a quote of the expected total cost to complete the project.
2. Agreement
Upon reaching an agreement and receipt of the signed contract and any required deposit payment, our linguists will begin your transcreation project.
3. Review
We carefully review the document, taking special note of the structure of the document and anything we need to research, including industry knowledge and linguistic pitfalls, like jokes, cultural references, and tone. We may contact you for any necessary clarifications.
4. Prepare the Documents
Next, we prepare the documents, removing any extraneous information which will not be translated and correcting formatting, and load them into our CAT tools for translation.
5. Translation
Our linguist is now prepared to work through your documents segment by segment with the assistance of CAT tools, translating meaning for meaning and generating the perfect translation based on research and understanding of your industry and specific transcreation needs.
6. Proofreading
After the entire document has been translated, the linguist will review and proofread the entire document meticulously, looking for any grammar or punctuation errors, and correcting any awkwardly translated segments. The whole document should be fluid and meaningful to the target-language reader.
7. More Proofreading
Another linguist will do a second round of proofreading and error correction in cooperation with the assigned linguist who performed the translation.
A second set of eyes and a fresh review of the target material helps to smooth out all the small details.
8. Delivery
Now that the document is perfect, you will be asked to make your final payment, and the document will be delivered.
9. Polishing Touches
We now give you the opportunity to review the material and make any clarifications or corrections immediately after delivery.
Final corrections will be made, and the translation is complete.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
We want you to be completely satisfied with our work, so we offer a later round of revisions at your request.
If anything is not just how you would like, please let us know so that we can make it better.
What are CAT Tools?
CAT tools, Computer Assisted Translation Tools, break the document up into short, workable segments and save our work so that we can easily cross-reference previous segments and keep our translations consistent across the document and all your various projects.
If you have translation memories from previous translations, you may supply us with that information. This will also help to keep your terminology and branding consistent.
