For a long time, linguistic quality was treated as a final verification step. Teams created content, translated it, and then reviewed it before publishing.

Today, teams manage serial, multimodal, and continuously updated content: product […]

Throughout my career in the language industry, I have always heard about quality. One agency promises to provide the “best quality”, another client complains about the “poor quality” of the translated text… But what exactly is quality in translation? The first answer that comes to mind when asked such a question is that a good […]
