What Makes a Professional Translation Service
Great
2

• After recently completing my book in my native
  language, I was hard pressed to find a way to
  translate it so that others could read it.
  Unfortunately I wasnt sure how I could do that
  in an affordable manner. I knew I had to though
  because I had so many fans in different countries
  who constantly told me how they wish the book was
  in their native language.

• After searching online I found that there were
  quite a few professional translation services
  available, but after trying one or two the
  service was hardly great. Although they did get
  me my work in a timely manner, it was far from
  the quality that I had expected it to be. A lot
  of my fans told me the work was confusing, and I
  didnt know what to do. It wasnt until I
  discovered a truly professional service that I
  realized that there was a way that I could get my
  work translated at a professional level.

The Problem with Some Translators

• It didnt take me long to realize that you have
  to use a human translator instead of an automated
  one, which is what I realized that some of these
  companies were doing.
• They would take your work, put it into an
  automated translator and then send it right back
  to you without checking it for accuracy or
  anything at all.

• By the time you find out the poor quality of work
  that was done, they already have your money and
  you have wasted a great deal of your time.
• It is important to use a human translator instead
  of an automated one because they simply cannot
  maintain the level of quality and mastery of a
  human translator.

• An automated translator cant read. I remember
  thinking that I could use an automated service
  once to translate my book, but there are a ton of
  limitations.
• Most importantly is that automated translators
  can only translate a few words at a time. That
  may be good for a word or two, but it isnt very
  useful when you have an entire book and several
  hundred pages to translate all at once.

• What really drove the point home was that even in
  those few phrases the translator doesnt get
  things right all the time.
• There are actually more than few instances when
  it gets things wrong, and because of that you
  find yourself with a story that makes little to
  no sense from language to language.
• It wasnt long before I realized that this was
  not the best service to get professional level
  work done.

• Unfortunately for me there were still a few
  companies who believed that it was which led me
  to be tricked out of my own hard earned money
  more than a few times.
