High-volume translation projects are a challenge for both translators and managers. We like to face these kinds of challenges, but so that they are not an insurmountable obstacle, we will explain to you which work system we follow.
Before we begin, however, we need to clarify one point: what do we mean by high volume? As always, everything is relative. 5,000 words may seem like a lot to someone who is used to working with short half-page texts, but to someone who works with books, it will seem like nothing. In order to systematize the work a little, we are referring to something a little bigger: 20,000 words or more . From this figure we will offer you a volume discount .
Calculation of the term
large volume translation projectsThe first step to start the work is to see what the exact extent of the high-volume translation projects is , so that we know how much time is needed to be able to translate it. We always Email Address List provide you with this information with the job budget.
There is no exact formula to know the deadline, but from a basic standard of words/day we increase or decrease the time required according to the type of file, the scope and the degree of specialization of the text. If the result we get matches your needs, the translator can start work. If you are in a hurry to have the text first, it will be necessary to divide the project between several people .
Division of the project
First of all, we have to warn you about one thing: to translate any kind of project, it is best to have a single translator handle it. However, we know that when it comes to large-volume translation projects, there is not always enough time for a single person to devote to them , as these are jobs that can take weeks or months. We must also warn you that the quality of the text in terms of uniformity and style may suffer : however, we know that sometimes it is more important to reach a specific deadline.
