• How technically advanced they are Do they have the latest software? The best editing and writing tools? Can they easily adapt to your language specifications such as usage of technical words? Does the company provide regular up skilling opportunities to its translation staff? Are they smart and with-it?

• Automated quality checks this is a very important factor in consistency of quality work – automated checks ensure that the final translated content is spiffy, polished and finalized before it is handed over to the client.

This adds to the credibility of the translation company, and also in many cases, such as with QTS-DMCC, authorizes them to accredit official translations, which ensures that the chances of the translated documents getting accepted by officials are very high.
