The outcome

Publish a translation that preserves meaning, terminology, formatting, accessibility, and legal approval.

Step by step

A workflow you can repeat.

  1. 01

    Identify the authoritative source, target locale, audience, purpose, terminology, tone, privacy class, file features, reviewers, and legal or safety risk.

  2. 02

    Clean ambiguous source language, freeze approved copy, protect variables and markup, build a reviewed glossary, and preserve an untouched original.

  3. 03

    Translate a representative section with the correct locale, formality, glossary, and document mode, then resolve terminology and formatting before the full run.

  4. 04

    Have a qualified reviewer check every omission, qualifier, number, unit, name, link, term, tone, cultural issue, table, note, and required warning against the source.

  5. 05

    Run final layout and accessibility QA, obtain owner and language approval, version source and translation, and document machine assistance and future update ownership.
