At Stepes, we recognize the importance of identifying, correcting, and preventing errors in our translation services. Our comprehensive error tracking and management system is a critical component of our quality assurance process, ensuring the highest standards of accuracy and reliability in our translations.

Error Identification, Correction, and Prevention Methods

• Automated Error Detection: Initially, translations are subjected to automated checks using advanced language processing tools to identify common errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
• Expert Review: Translations are meticulously reviewed by language experts who scrutinize the text for any linguistic inaccuracies, contextual mistakes, or inconsistencies.
• Preventive Measures: We employ preventive strategies such as the use of translation memories and glossaries to ensure consistency and reduce the likelihood of recurring errors.

Documentation and Analysis of Errors for Quality Improvement

• Error Logging System: Every identified error is logged into our system, detailing its nature and the context in which it occurred. This enables a thorough analysis of errors.
• Root Cause Analysis: We conduct root cause analyses to understand why errors occurred. This helps in developing targeted strategies to prevent similar errors in future projects.
• Feedback Loop: Errors and their resolutions are communicated back to the translators for learning and improvement. This feedback loop is vital in enhancing the skills and awareness of our translation team.

Ongoing Training and Development

• Regular Training Sessions: Translators receive training based on the insights gained from error analyses, ensuring continuous learning and development.
• Updating Translation Guidelines: Our translation guidelines are regularly updated to reflect any new learnings or best practices derived from error management.

Client Involvement and Transparency

• Client Communication: We maintain transparency with our clients, informing them of any significant errors and the measures taken to correct them.
• Client Feedback Integration: Client feedback is actively used in our error management process, allowing for a more client-centric approach to quality improvement.

Through our rigorous error tracking and management system, Stepes is dedicated to continuously enhancing the quality of our translation services. We believe in learning from every project, using our findings to refine our processes and deliver translations that meet the highest standards of accuracy and professionalism.
