Quality Assured Translator Approval Process™
Translation is a profession in its own right. In addition to a degree or post graduate degree in translation, translators need a broad set of skills - from the obvious linguistic ability, to being able to cope with a wide range of software applications and most importantly, being a good business partner.
Less than one in ten of the professional translators who start the screening and evaluation process become a Blue South approved translator.
To ensure that only the very best translators from around the World are selected, the Blue South translator approval process comprises;
1. Screening:
All potential translators are initially screened against a very particular set of criteria. This screening ranks translators on areas which include;
- Experience/qualification in translation
- Professionalism
- Linguistic skills
- Linguistic qualifications
- Specialist area
- Work and qualifications in areas outside of linguistics to back up their area of speciality
2. Evaluation:
Short-listed candidates are then evaluated in more detail using methods which include a combination of references, independent evaluations and more detailed screening.
3. Identification of strengths:
Via the screening and evaluation process, we can determine the real subject area strengths of the translators, e.g. IT software, mechanical, pharmaceuticals, copywriting, etc.
4. Ongoing assessment:
As required by our certified Quality Management System (ISO 9001), all approved translators are subject to ongoing assessment.
