Translation Services

Global Arena shares its clients’ commitment to the quality of deliverables. Global Arena believes that a partnering approach is crucial to achieving the highest standards and level of translation service; by integrating our workflows, file preparation and delivery methods into our clients’ internal processes, we can ensure that our translations are one pristine element of an efficient and streamlined process, where expectations are understood and goals are shared.

For new projects, following the initial document translation, a second professional linguist edits the translation, making comments and suggestions for improvement. The original translator reviews the document thoroughly, taking into account the comments made by the editor. Any discrepancies are discussed and the translation is finalized before the project manager performs a final round of proofreading. This ensures that all elements are in place and that the document is ready for delivery. During the process, the translation memory is created and stored for reference and future use. This translation memory will provide important cost savings and ensure consistency in any future translations of already translated documents in need of simple updates.

For projects previously translated by Global Arena that require updates, the project manager assigned to the project will analyze the revisions required to update the translation. The original document translation team is asked to implement the updates in conjunction with the existing translation memory to ensure stylistic and linguistic consistency across the versions.

All translations are subject to a strict quality control process that includes translation, editing and proofreading/review. These three processes are carried out by three separate individuals. Translators and editors are always native speakers in the target language. Global Arena closely monitors the quality of each document translation before delivery. However, a project manager will address any concerns for translations delivered and provide corrective measures or explanations at no additional cost when necessary. Global Arena doesn’t jeopardize the quality and accuracy of the translation by forgoing any of these stages of Q&A.

Global Arena has an extensive network of thoroughly tested translators, editors and proofreaders with extensive subject knowledge and linguistic sensitivity. Global Arena strongly prefers that our document translation teams (translators, editors and proofreaders) are accredited by the American Translators Association, or an equivalent national or regional body, and all undergo a rigorous testing process carried out by Global Arena to ensure that translations are of the highest quality.

Global Arena uses an online document translation project management portal. This provides clients with the option of submitting, reviewing and amending translation requests through the secure online portal 24/7/365. During the translation process, the status, costs and delivery schedule can all be checked online and upon completion, the final translated document(s) will be available for download. Access to a client’s account is restricted to authorized representatives only. The use of Global Arena’s translation portal is optional, requests sent by e-mail, fax and hard copy are also accepted.
