Determine the type of document, the target language(s), and any special requirements (e.g., certified translation, urgency, technical terminology).

Some translation projects might need additional localization services, depending on the target market.

The translator reads and understands the original document and begins translating it into the target language while ensuring linguistic and cultural accuracy.

Specialized documents like legal or medical texts are handled by translators who have expertise in that field to ensure proper use of terminology.

After translation, a review process ensures the document maintains its original meaning and context.

This might include a second translator reviewing the work to ensure accuracy, consistency, and fluency. Editing also involves checking grammar, punctuation, and formatting to match the standards of the target language.

A final quality check is done, especially for technical or certified translations, to verify that all aspects of the document are translated correctly.

If necessary, the translated document may also be compared to industry-specific guidelines or regulatory standards.

The final translated document is formatted to match the original document's layout (if required), ensuring that the translated version mirrors the original structure.

The document is then delivered to the client in the requested format, whether digital (PDF, Word, etc.) or printed.
