Empower your in-country reviewers to have the final say
For global organisations, the ability to get your message across in different countries and in various languages is paramount. To achieve this, not only does the translation have to be accurate, but you need to ensure the translation is validated to reflect your brand image or intended message.
Incorporating a review stage into your translation process is challenging. Capturing the amends is problematic. Options include annotated PDF documents, emailing a list of changes or even sending a faxed hard-copy. None of these are easy to deal with efficiently and amends can be overlooked. Incorporating the amends into your final files and translation memory is often time-consuming and costly.
SmartReview™, a component part within LanguageDirector™Advanced and LanguageDirector™Enterprise, is a web-based solution enabling your in-country reviewers to be considerably more effective in the translation review process. Managed by thebigwordGroup, you simply provide us with the contact details of your reviewers and we'll do the rest.
