SPECIALIZED TRANSLATION

All of our specialized translation projects comply with Vietrans workflow as below:

1. Make a translation plan

We always carefully research to understand content of documents as well as clients’ specific requirements in terms of terminology, formatting, deadline, etc. to set up the most suitable translation plan.

2. Develop and prepare a terminology list

For each project, if the client has no specific requirements regarding his or her own style guide or pre-existing terminology, Vietrans will set up a common terminology list to ensure the consistency throughout the documents. This terminology list will be further enhanced along with the project and become a proprietary “asset” of the client for his or her next projects.

Note: We shall apply a charge if the client requests for such a terminology list.

3. Prepare a uniform formating style guide

After reaching an agreement with the client about text format and style guide, Vietrans will prepare a uniform style guide for text formatting such as letter font, size, heading, numbering, layout, etc. to make it easy for merging and editing tasks later.

Note: We shall apply a charge if the client requests for such a style guide.

4. Translate and review the translation

Our translators perform the tasks following the agreed plan and professional experts’ advice (if needed).

Translated documents are then edited for many times by cross-checking among individual translators, joined, and finally edited by team leader, then it will be reviewed by a professional expert and proofreaded by a native reader (if required).

Note:

Vietrans applies a charge for native proofreading task depending on the language and complexity of the document.

Vietrans offers translation service for all of major fields, including:
