Do you have a Quality Management System? How does your company guarantee quality?
Yes. The Project Manager reviews the order and related source/reference documents and gathers all pertinent information in order to effectively assign the project to a qualified linguist(s).
Questions are asked of client if preparatory/contextual information is not already known. Then the Project Manager prepares the translation assignment complete with all source/reference documents, specific instructions from client (i.e. formatting requirements), company background information and websites (for reference), deadline information, and any additional information that the linguist(s) needs to know in order to complete the project.
The job order is then assigned to the most qualified translator in our network to perform the translation based upon experience, education, and subject matter expertise.
The translator reviews the source document(s) carefully, asking Project Manager for clarity when needed and produces a target text that conveys as closely as possible the meaning, language level, and tonality of the source text while adhering to cultural styles and grammar protocol of the target language and sends it back to the Project Manager.
The Project manager prepares the editing packet complete with all source/reference documents, company background information and websites (for reference), deadline information, and translated (target) text and assigns it to the most qualified editor in our network to perform the review.
The editor reviews source document(s) and carefully reads it against the translated document(s) for accuracy and understanding then the editor proofreads translated document checking for errors, typos, mistranslations or omissions and makes any necessary changes to translated text. The edited document is then sent back to the Project Manager where it is proofread and prepared for final QA Analysis.
The QA Manager reviews edited document(s) and accepts/rejects changes and prepares the final document for additional QA Analysis and if applicable, runs the target text (bilingual file) through an automated QA check with QA Distiller and Xbench, to determine if there are any inconsistencies within one or multiple documents and/or the Translation Memory (TM) tool. Note: In some cases, it may be necessary to run comparison files to review prior versions of the document(s) and compare them against the source documents to ensure consistency across all versions of a document and to ensure all requested changes have been made.
The QA Manager reviews findings and makes note of any necessary changes, checking for proper formatting, correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure and sends the document back to the Project Manager to make changes and deliver the project to the client.
DTS archives all translation work on its Translation Memory server tool and/or other server Locations.
DTS is ISO 17100 certified.
