Yes, all of our linguists are. We work only with native speakers of the target language who have a proven track record of experience in certain subject areas and who have passed all of THE RIGHT WORD's testing procedures. We have been working with our core language-specific linguist teams for many years.

Yes, most of the content THE RIGHT WORDS translates is specific to the subject area. We rarely translate general and simple texts. We have teams of expert linguists and subject matter experts for the areas we specialize in for all the target languages we handle.

Yes, THE RIGHT WORDS can have several linguist teams work on one project simultaneously to meet challenging deadlines, additionally, we use industry-specific translation software to speed up all of our internal translation workflows.

The PREMIUM service ensures the highest quality, as it includes three linguistic steps: translation, editing and proofreading – so, three pairs of eyes in total – with each step performed by an independent native speaker of the target language. The PREMIUM option is well suited for websites, marketing materials and other types of highly visible content.

The ECONOMY option includes translation and proofreading – so two pairs of eyes – with both steps performed by a native speaker of the target language; it does not include editing.

The BASIC option does not include editing or proofreading, it only includes translation, which is not revised by another linguist.

The prices are different depending on the language combination, living standards of the countries where the linguists reside, complexity and subject matter of the source content and urgency of the translation project.

We offer volume discounts in case of a large volume of content to be translated and/or on the basis of the number of language combinations per order.

DTP, or Desktop Publishing, is the process of creating documents using specialized software, with PDF among the most common types of output files.

DTP is needed to ensure that the translated content has the same formatting, layout and image quality as the source documents created using specialized DTP software. DTP is a separate service done by freelance DTP resources, not by translators. If the source content was designed using DTP software, the same should be used to design the translation.

Having the original source files allows the team to create a document with the same layout, formatting and image quality as in the source. Using DTP software to recreate the content from scratch is more expensive than using the original source files; it is more time-consuming and the final result may not be a 100% accurate representation of the source.

LSO, or Linguistic Sign-Off, is a final quality assessment carried out by the linguist who reviews the translated content in its final form, such as PDF. This step is usually carried out after DTP and is needed to make sure that final quality meets the required standard.

Translation Memories are databases of content in the source and target languages. Translation Memories are updated with each translation project for a specific client. Any content previously translated for the client will get a match with the Translation Memory, giving us the following advantages: (1) consistency with previously translated content (2) shorter turnaround times and (3) lower translation costs.
