Abstract:

How do translation companies, multilingual international organizations and
individual translators measure and improve the quality of their translations?
This book reports on the range of approaches to quality assurance across the
translation industry, from Norway to China, from the individual freelance
working in a home office to the largest translation supplier in the world.
Best practice is outlined for a range of translation scenarios, enabling
readers to learn from others' experience - and mistakes. The author also draws
on over a decade's experience to outline the potential to improve quality by
exploiting modern technological support tools such as translation memory
software.

New and experienced translators will gain understanding of what employers
expect (and reward); translation companies can learn how their peers and
rivals manage this sensitive area of their work; clients will find out what
levels of quality they can expect; and academics are provided with an
illuminating insight into how quality is assessed and guaranteed in the
profession today.
