About Oregon Translation: How our process is different

Why does Oregon Translation ask who will read my document? When discussing a new project with you, one important factor we consider is your target audience. Knowing your audience’s country of origin will help us customize word choices when different terms are used in different countries. Think Spanish for Me...

• We prefer to start by listening to what you need and expect and by reviewing the source language documents.
   
  
• We also take this opportunity to explain how the translation process typically proceeds and how we might adapt the process to meet your specific needs, such as a tight deadline or specialized formatting.
   
  
• When everyone understands the project parameters, Oregon Translation provides an estimate of the time and cost involved. Once you sign off on the proposal, the actual translation cycle begins.
   
  
• We hand-pick experienced translators who we custom-match to each of your projects. A translator with excellent experience writing technical manufacturing manuals may not be the right match to translate a marketing document for the clothing or beverage industry.
   
  
• We welcome interactions between our clients and translators throughout the process: providing industry- or company-specific glossaries, lively discourse on the best terminology to use, suggested improvements to the original text, cultural questions and clarifications, etc.
