Translation quality can be very subjective. Many times, there is no “correct” translation of a text. Translators and clients can find it difficult to assess quality objectively when so much subjectivity is involved. However, most professional translators and clients would agree that a good translation communicates the same meaning and intent as the original, but sounds like it was originally written in the target language. But how can you, as a client, be sure to get a good translation? Before you send your text for translation, here are a few things you can do in five minutes to help your translator and French Translation Office create a fast, high-quality translation.
- Provide as much context as possible
The best way to help your translator create a high-quality translation is to provide as much contextual information as possible. For example, ensure your translator knows the answer to the following questions.
Who is the target audience?
What is the type of content?
Is the tone/style casual or formal?
In what kind of medium will you share the translated text?
If the text is about your company, what is your position and specific function in the company?
- Provide high-quality source text
Make sure the source text is clear. Be careful about using a reader that has already gone through machine translation because that usually does not lead to high-quality translations. You should review the source text for misplaced words or sentences before submitting it for translation.
- Develop a style guide
Style guides provide instructions to translators on the use of language for English to French Translation Dubai, composition, and spelling. Using the style guide, you can let the translator know your preferences for reading difficulty, word selection, capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and grammar.

To make sure a phrase is used consistently to denote a particular concept, glossaries are helpful. For instance, you may specify in the glossary that the term “blog post” should always be used in place of alternative synonyms like “blog,” “post,” “article,” “post,” or “piece.” If your text is about blog posts.
