5 Rules for a good translation

... and how Parlamón complies with them.

  • PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATORS

    As in any profession, only professionals with a suitable training are capable of guaranteeing a good job. In Parlamón we require all translators who want to collaborate with us to comply with the requirements of the corresponding associations of translation professionals.


  • NATIVE TRANSLATORS

    A translator can only guarantee good quality if the target language is his/her mother tongue. Even though we might be good at other languages, only in our own language are we capable of expressing ourselves entirely correctly, naturally and authentically. In Parlamón, the translations are always done by natives, bearing in mind any regional differences in languages such as English, Spanish, Portuguese and others.

  • COLLABORATION WITH EXPERTS

    Although no translator can study industrial engineering, medicine, law, etc. at the same time, the daily work of a translator is precisely to translate texts specialised in these and other areas. It is therefore necessary to have broad consultation possibilities for clarifying anything requiring great specialisation. In Parlamón we have an extensive library with consultation material, CD-ROM and a list of on-line tools that enable us to find what we are looking for at all times.

  • COLLABORATION WITH THE CUSTOMER

    Naturally the customers are the only ones who really know their products and what they want to achieve with their text. For this reason, in Parlamón we place special importance on close collaboration with customers, offering them the possibility of modifying their text even when the project has started or is complete.

  • BALANCED PROCESS

    The balance between the time devoted to the translation process, the volume and the linguistic characteristics of the text are factors determining the quality of the work. Parlamón will never waive its demands to always make a thorough study of the terminology, exhaustive quality control and to devote the time necessary for offering quality services. All unless otherwise requested by the customer due to the classical problems of urgency.
