Certified^* Translators

To serve the specific requirements of companies needing business translations and corporate translations, we have developed an industry-based translator testing, screening, and certification/qualification program.

For example, if you require a legal translation, you can be assured that both the translator and the editor will have the proper legal background and linguistic certifications.

Excel Translations has developed its own translator testing, translator screening and translator certification and qualification program to ensure our certified^* corporate translators meet our strict quality requirements. This demanding system ensures that linguists:

• Are professional translators and editors, working in their native languages
• Possess significant experience in their field of specialization and are subject-matter experts
• Pass a rigorous translation screening and translation testing process, as part of our own Initial Suitability Assessment (ISA) program, which tests each translator’s skills and linguistic capabilities

Challenges with Delays in Translations

The Challenge

Did you know that missing a market window by 10% can have a 50% impact on product revenue?

The Excel Translations Solution

In addition to working within your company’s budgeting guidelines, we understand that there are also constant, critical deadlines you need to meet. As the person responsible for translations, the last thing you need is a slow translation vendor or process.

• Are poor quality translations causing you to re-translate and waste additional time and money?
• Are your product cycles or launches delayed?
• Are you missing market share due to late translations?
• Is there anything within your own internal processes that could be modified to make things easier for you?
• Are project managers or translators inattentive to your delivery dates?

We can help! By understanding your needs and processes, we can customize our services to meet your goals and turnaround times. For large projects or those with rushed deadlines, when appropriate, we will use:

• Secure Machine Translation processes
• Multiple linguists in each of the target languages
• Customer-prioritized staggered deliveries by language or product

In addition to customizing processes, we also consult with clients to suggest ways to improve their workflows. By partnering with Excel Translations, we will work closely with you to identify any area that may be causing delays.

From the earliest stages of content creation to the final deliverables, we can provide feedback and advice on removing hurdles from the current process including:

• Streamlining file deliveries

• Integrating Excel DTP/Formatting within the translation process
• Utilizing our Client Portal for project uploads and workflow monitoring

Challenges with Low Price Translation Services

The Challenge

Are language translations just another commodity? Why is there such a difference in price between translation providers? Is there a correlation between price, service, and quality?

The Excel Translations Solution

We have all heard the saying, “You get what you pay for,” and that is certainly true with translations. At Excel Translations, we think your company’s products and reputation are far too important to take any risks. The image you convey through your translations will have the same impact on foreign markets as your English documents have in the US. Think of it as the reverse side of a business card that has been translated. Would you want your title misspelled or your information incorrectly translated? What image would that mistranslated business card convey to your foreign peers? Ask yourself the following important questions:

• Is it a good investment to get a cheap price if the result is poor quality or an embarrassingly incorrect translation?
• Are poor quality translations causing you to re-translate and waste additional time and money?
• How much will it cost your organization if a poor quality translation is delaying the global launch of your products?
• Is the translation company sensitive to the subtle difference between Spanish for the US, Latin America, and Spain? Or the proper Chinese for Mainland China, Taiwan, or Hong Kong?
• Does the translation company understand the nuances of your marketing materials and how to accurately convey your important corporate messages?
• Has the translation company the capability to properly format and typeset your important documents?

We know that you do not want your important products or corporate image treated as a commodity. By partnering with us, you can be assured that we will do everything we can to learn about your business and your message. You will receive:

• The professional quality that you require
• Excellent personal attention and communication from our experienced project managers
• One complimentary round of reviews and implementation of changes for each translation
• Accurate and appropriate translations and localizations
• High-quality professional services at fair and competitive rates
• Free quotes that are firm and guaranteed
• A translation Certificate of Conformity

Why Corporate Outsourcing is Good for Business

Are you trying to provide quality, professional translations and localizations with your current in-house staff or distributors in foreign countries? Perhaps it is time to consider corporate outsourcing and the translation professionals.

What are the Benefits or Corporate Outsourcing?

1. We can translate in more than 100 languages and deliver all translated documents simultaneously. With our people and systems already in place, you can quickly open up new international opportunities for your products and services.
2. You can now rely on native-speaking, professional linguists with extensive experience in their respective fields.
3. Faster Turnaround Time — When not outsourced, the translation process can become an extremely cumbersome and time-consuming task. It may take weeks, slowing down, if not paralyzing, the global launch of your products. Oftentimes the internal resources assigned to do the translation miss their deadlines or are not available. By relying on an independent translation company, organizations will be able to dramatically cut translation times while being assured that their documents are translated by professional linguists and delivered on-time.
4. We utilize and maintain a translation memory database for each language, which provides consistency and cost savings. With Excel Translations, your company owns all of your TMs, and generally the more you translate, the more your language costs are reduced.
5. For additional quality assurance, the translations are edited by a second professional linguist.
6. We can format your final documents in almost any language, and we are comfortable formatting complex languages including Arabic, Hebrew, Thai, Japanese, and Chinese.
7. Your translations will be performed by a certified company. Excel Translations is certified and compliant to the following international standards ^‡:
   • ISO 9001:2015 Certified: Requirements for a quality management system & continuous improvement
   • ISO 17100:2015 Certified: Quality Requirements for Translation Services
8. You can save additional costs by minimizing staff. With reduced overhead, you can refocus your savings to other critical aspects of your department or organization.
9. You will free up your valuable time to devote to your other important responsibilities.
10. You will gain the peace of mind that your translations are high quality, professionally accurate, and appropriate for the targeted market.

By partnering with Excel Translations, the business bottom line is:

• Latest technologies for enhanced process efficiencies
