Major Things to Research before Hiring a Translation Company

Posted by ryan on July 1st, 2019

When you are looking for hiring a translation company, it can be challenging to figure out where to begin with, whether the company is professional, will they deliver high-quality services. Etc.

To answer all your concerns, and with so many options available, here are the things that you should consider when you’re looking for hiring the right translation agency in Dubai:

Does the translation agency have the right experience?

High-quality translation services have experience of working on various projects across a variety of sectors. They have been there and done it several times before. Therefore, you must check the experience of the translation company; also, you must ensure that they’ve worked previously with sectors similar to yours before hiring them.

Will they use native-speaking professional translators?

For a quality translation, it’s essential to hire a translator who works in the native language. This means that the translator should translate only into their native language. So, if a translation service is offering translation in say 100 languages, they should have native speakers in all those languages. And a high-quality translation by a native speaker never sounds stilted. It flows as if it was originally written in that language only.

Do they have long-standing relationships with their clients?

It is not necessary that only translation companies having a big name are capable of delivering high-quality service; companies having a not that big name are also capable enough. What’s more important is the review from their previous and existing clients. You must check whether the translation agency you’re planning to work with has a long-standing relationship with their clients; do their clients have to say about their service, etc.?

Where is the translation service provider located?

Using a translation service from another country is no problem at all. But if you want your translator to be available when in your office, then you must look for the services located not very far away from you, as there’s no point in hiring a translation agency on the other side of the world.

Will they help you in saving money on translation?

There are various cost-saving tools available that translation services use. These tools help them to work quicker and store content. A reputable company generally passes on the cost savings on to their clients. So, you should ask them about all such thing and then make your final decision.

Researching and discussing all of the above factors will help you in hiring the best translation agency in Dubai.
