Translation Services are a Priority Too!
Companies across all industries strive to portray a certain appearance to their peers, competitors, and potential clients. Taking pride in their choice of companies and vendors with whom they choose to collaborate, providing employees with the best training and technology available, and having the highest quality legal executives backing the company up, are all priorities in achieving this sought after perception. With so much care and precision taken when creating and developing your company, pinching pennies when translation services are needed can put you and your company in an irreversible predicament resulting in a costly outcome. This decision to cut costs in an area that you may not realize significantly matters potentially puts your company at risk to accrue substantial costs in recovery and possibly falling victim to embarrassing mishaps caused by poor translation. Poor translations can diminish the appearance your company has worked hard to achieve, reduce sales, muddy legal matters or even cause injury or death in medical settings. “The Negative Impact of Poor Translation,” presents specific examples and less than desirable outcomes of how poor translation effects business, medical care, and legal interactions.
With the increasing number of immigrants arriving in the United States daily and the rapid development of the global economy, we find ourselves communicating and working across language barriers more now than ever before. Language barriers have been known to get in the way of conducting business, international brand development or even treating patients. This happens especially when companies purchase cheap translation services, which cut corners, as a way to cut budgets and save money in the translation process. Buyers of translation services oftentimes fail to see the bigger picture when faced with the decision of paying for an accurate and quality translation verse saving pennies and sacrificing quality and potentially much more.
The Skill of Translation & Choosing the Right Translation Agency:
Taking a risk on cheap translation allows room for not only misspellings and grammatical errors, but it also leaves room for a lack of clarity in context, offensive and culturally insensitive content, and inaccurate information to be produced within the translation. When you sacrifice quality for price, more often than not your project is completed by an inexperienced or unqualified translator or by machine translation software, which is notoriously known for its inaccuracies. Translation is a skill that takes expertise and being able to speak two languages is not the equivalent to being trained to produce professional and accurate translations. It takes years of practice, determination and experience to be considered fluent in the art of translation; full command of both languages, awareness of cultural differences, superior writing skills, and an understanding of industry standards and terminology are all needed in order to produce a well rounded and accurate translation. Companies can either work with a reputable translation agency for high quality translations upfront, or spend additional time and money rectifying the consequences of a poor quality translation later.
