6 Ways To Cut Down Document Translation Cost
With the growing trend of localization the cost of translation is matter of concern for most of the industries. Here are some ways translation costs can be kept to a minimum.
6 Ways to cut down Document Translation Cost
1.Cut down the number of words you need translating
Filter out the parts that are not really needed. The best way is to keep the document as simple as possible with no filler and fluff to make the document look better. Using plain and simple language is far more effective than trying to create a document which is too complex.
2. Be precise
Make sure the document you send to the translator is precisely worded and no corrections or clarifications are needed before the translation can commence. It can get very expensive if you continually want additions to the document while the translation is supposed to be taking place.
3. No Deadline Should Be There
Don’t set a deadline for the completion of the translation as this will mean your translation will be marked as a priority job. Leave plenty of time to allow for its completion.
4. Use Translation Tools
Use Computer Assisted Translation Tools (CAT) to help translators, as they memorize translations so they can be used at a later date. This could help to reduce translation costs especially if some of your content is repetitive.
5. Rely On One Translation Service
Stick to the same professional translation services. This may help you to get discounts on future projects.
6.Keep The Format Simple
Use simple formats like .doc, .txt, or editable PDF files as these are the easiest to edit and alter.These seven tips should help you to minimise professional translation costs without having to sacrifice quality.
