At Stepes, our commitment to delivering high-quality translations is reflected in our stringent quality control protocols. We implement a multi-tiered quality assurance process, integrating advanced editing, proofreading, and subject-matter expertise to ensure unparalleled accuracy and consistency in every project.

Multi-Tiered Quality Assurance Processes

• Automated Pre-Processing: Initially, translations undergo automated checks for basic errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation using advanced language processing tools.
• First-Level Translation: Skilled translators, proficient in the relevant subject matter, perform the initial translation, focusing on linguistic accuracy and contextual relevance.
• Peer Review: Following the initial translation, a second language expert reviews the content, focusing on linguistic nuances and technical accuracy.

Use of Editing, Proofreading, and Subject-Matter Expertise in Ensuring Accuracy

• Editing by Subject-Matter Experts: Translations are edited by professionals with specific expertise in the project’s field, ensuring technical accuracy and appropriateness.
• In-depth Proofreading: A separate team conducts thorough proofreading to catch any subtle errors or inconsistencies, ensuring the translation reads naturally and accurately.
• Consistency Checks: Special attention is given to maintaining consistency in terminology and style, particularly for larger projects or ongoing client work.

Additional Quality Control Measures

• Client-Specific Guidelines: We adhere to any client-provided guidelines or glossaries to ensure that the translation aligns with their specific preferences and industry terminology.
• Feedback Integration: Client feedback is actively incorporated into the translation process, allowing for continuous improvement and customization.
• Quality Metrics Evaluation: Regular assessments using key quality metrics enable us to monitor and enhance our translation processes continually.

Final Verification

• Quality Assurance Sign-Off: Before delivery, each translation undergoes a final quality assurance sign-off by a senior translator or project manager, ensuring that all quality standards are met.
• Client Approval: We encourage client review and approval, providing an opportunity for any final adjustments to meet their specific needs.

Through these comprehensive quality control protocols, Stepes guarantees accuracy, consistency, and the highest level of quality in every translation project. Our dedication to excellence is a hallmark of our service, ensuring client satisfaction and trust in our linguistic solutions.
