7-Step Translation Process

1. Document review to study the terminology,
intent and content of the material. 2. Prepare
and submit a written estimate to the Client.
3
3. Upon receipt of estimate approval, a Verbatim
Languages translator (Linguist 1) begins
translating the final English version. Copy
questions are discussed with the Client. 4. The
first draft of the translation is then reviewed
by an editor (Linguist 2), who is a native
speaker or an expert in the subject translated,
to ensure content accuracy. Questions of judgment
may arise and, if this is the case, the Client
will be contacted before the completion of the
translation.

5. The edited translation is then returned to
Linguist 1, who will review all suggestions made
by the editor and accept or reject them based on
the linguists research during the translation
and on the objective of producing the best
possible product.

6. The corrected translation is provided to a
proofreader (Linguist 3, but can also be
performed by Linguist 2). The proofreader reviews
the final translation to ensure typographical and
grammatical accuracy and verifies that the
translated document culturally reads as the
original document in the target language and not
as a translation.

7. The final stage involves cleaning up the
document and output of the final version. If no
typesetting is involved, the completed
translation is delivered to the Client.
