Frequently Asked Questions
What is your translation process?
While there is no single template that can be applied to all translation projects, this basic process is followed.
- Scoping: The first step is understanding your needs. Once you provide all the materials and objectives required for the project, we can then develop an appropriate structure tailored to your language needs.
- Analysis: Next, we quantify the work and identify any language issues present. This phase also includes assessing the project timeline and any support services you may require, such as desktop publishing, in-context review, or engineering.
- Preparation: During this phase, our support staff extracts text strings out of your source files, imports them into our CAT tool, and then ensures the strings are ready for translation.
- Translation: Within our CAT tool, our subject-matter experienced linguists create culturally-attuned translations.
- Editing: Glyph editors then review the work and resolve any issues that may be present. Editing ensures the translations are of the highest quality.
- Review: If you have stakeholders in the target market for this project, we can also provide you with the translated content in a review-friendly format for in-market review. As a result, you can gather feedback from native speakers familiar with both the goals of your organization and the locale your project is distributed to.
- Desktop Publishing: Desktop publishing (DTP) is optional. At this point, our staff performs all of the layout and formatting work to match the source materials in the target language.
- Packaging: During the packaging phase, our engineers check for terminological consistency across the project. Afterward, we update the client Translation Memory and prepare the files for delivery.
- Delivery: The best and final stage where we deliver the finalized project to you in the format you require.

How are your translations priced?
Our translation pricing is calculated on a per-word basis with the rate determined by the source language in question, the turnaround time, and the difficulty of the subject matter. To learn more about our standard rates, please visit our pricing page.
Are your translators certified?
There are a number of private agencies in the United States that offer certification to translators who are able to pass the agency’s examination and are willing to pay the certification fee. The most prominent of these is the American Translators Association. Although the majority of Glyph’s translators are certified by one or more of these agencies, we do not require certification because there is little correlation between passing these exams and linguistic quality.
However, if your project requires it, we can ensure that the linguists on your team are certified.
Can you handle our industry-specific technical translations?
Absolutely! We are more than capable of translating your industry-specific technical documents. Including technical manuals, schematics, patents, material safety data sheets, and a variety of other documents. If you have any questions regarding our technical translation capabilities, please feel welcome to email us at sales@glyphservices.com.
How do you price other services?
Desktop publishing, localization engineering, and most of our other services are priced on an hourly basis. Minimum charges may apply for short projects under an hour. Meanwhile, larger projects may have a project management fee, which is often a percentage of the overall project. You can learn more about our pricing via our pricing page.
Do your translators have industry specific experience?
We always assign an appropriate translation team that’s best suited for the individual client and project needs. However, because many industries have their own particular vocabulary, we often assist clients in building a terminology glossary comprised of key industry-specific terms to help our translators promote optimal consistency and accuracy throughout your translated materials. Over time, client feedback, which is shared with our translators, results in an evolutionary process whereby the translators develop a continually improving understanding of the terminology you prefer.
