A good Chinese translation service provider is not determined by its office building size or its employee quantity. For customers, they should be most concerned about nothing but the following aspects.
Ⅰ. Quality
People with very little language foundation can find a computer-aided translation online, which is convenient but riddled with mistakes. Customers should pay more attention to the translation quality if they wish to have a concise version of their original documents, and translation that is highly logical and clear in meaning. Therefore, we suggest that customers to do a trial project initially to confirm the translation quality before cooperating with that translation company for a long term. See more information n “How to Judge the Translation Quality of Translation Service Providers”.
Ⅱ. Price
Price is always one of the determinants when choosing a Chinese translation service. Customers would like to spend less yet get a good return, so they often cooperate with translation services with a high cost performance. Sometimes, the lack of definite rules to fix the translation price leads to customers’ confusion in prices. Therefore, we would like to remind you that high quality is always more important than cheap price.
Ⅲ. Efficiency
Translation efficiency can directly reflect the strength of the translation service provider. A highly efficient company can deliver the case on time or even ahead of schedule and this will earn the customers’ approval easily. Since translation is a time-consuming process, it often requires that translators should have enough time to deal with some urgent cases. Thus, the efficiency of translation services also forms the impression the customers have of the company.
Ⅳ.Time and Area Constraints
Some customers prefer to cooperate with local Chinese translation service due to geographical reasons, so the translation service provider’s popularity in the area is also an important factor for customers. For some translation service providers, they often start developing their business in the local market. When a good reputation is established, even customers who are not from the area may even contact them.
