Here’s a detailed look at the process that sets Columbus Lang apart:
1- Initial Consultation and Project Assessment
Every project begins with an initial consultation to understand the client’s specific needs and objectives. During this phase, the team assesses the scope of the project, the nature of the content, and any particular requirements the client may have.
2- Team Selection
Whether it’s legal, financial, clinical research, entertainment, education, or corporate communications, the Spanish to English audio translators are chosen for their proficiency in the sector’s specific terminology and their fluency in both Spanish and English.
3- Pre-Translation Preparation
Before the actual translation begins, the team undertakes a thorough preparation phase. This includes:
- Researching Context: Understanding the context of the audio content to ensure accuracy and relevance in translation.
- Glossary Development: Creating a glossary of key terms and phrases specific to the project to maintain consistency.
- Technical Setup: Ensuring all audio files are in the correct format and accessible for the translators.
4- Translation
The core of the process is the translation itself, which involves several critical stages:
- Listening and Transcribing: Translators listen to the entire audio content and transcribe it into written form, capturing all details accurately.
- Initial Translation: The transcribed content is then translated from Spanish to English. The translators focus on maintaining the original tone, intent, and cultural background.
- Quality Checks: The initial translation undergoes multiple quality checks by senior translators to ensure accuracy, fluency, and contextual relevance.
5- Editing and Proofreading
Once the translation is complete, it is subjected to rigorous editing and proofreading. This step involves:
- Editing: Experienced editors review the translation for any linguistic or contextual inaccuracies, ensuring it meets the highest standards.
- Proofreading: Proofreaders conduct a final check to correct any grammatical, spelling, or punctuation errors, ensuring the translation is polished and professional.
6- Client Review
Columbus Lang values client feedback and incorporates a review phase where the translated content is shared with the client. This allows the client to review the translation and provide any feedback or request adjustments.
7- Final Delivery
After incorporating any client feedback, the final translation is prepared for delivery. The translated audio content is formatted according to the client’s specifications and delivered securely, ensuring confidentiality and data protection.
8- Post-Delivery Support
Columbus Lang’s commitment to quality doesn’t end with the delivery of the translation. We offer post-delivery support to address any follow-up questions or additional needs the client may have.
