• What are the certifications of the translation company? Is it ISO 9001 and EN 15038 certified? The company having these certifications is qualified to give you the highest quality of translation services.

• Who are the employees hired by translation agency? Are they native speakers? It is very important to choose the company that has native speakers on board as the quality of translated documents tend to be better than those done by non-native speakers.

• Does the translation service provider have suitable domain expertise in the area in which you want to get the document translated? E.g. if you want to translate legal documents, are there lawyers employed by the company? Many legal terms would be beyond the understanding of laymen. Any mistake in translation can be embarrassing.

• Does the Language translation company support the hardware and software platform for your translated document? E.g. if you want your translated document to be in Word 2000 for PC format, is the company providing it?

• Are you planning to outsource your technical translation or medical translation or any kindly of document translation work? Is the translation company accepting the payment via the payment method of your choice? So if you plan to pay by credit card, but the company insists on wire transfer, then the company is not right for you.

• Is the company ready to provide you with references of its previous clients? Talking to the old clients is the best way to get the idea of the quality of service that the company will give you.

These tips are common guidelines that will help you choosing the best translation service provider for your work.
