There are certain criteria that will help you to find the best translator:
Language Pair
Translation tasks are usually assigned to translators who are native speakers of a target language or mastered the target language on a nearly native level.
Specialization
Each field of expertise has its own specific features like stylistic neutrality or coloring, a tone of voice, terminology, etc. As a rule, professional translators prefer to work only within certain domains of expertise, polishing their skills to offer the best services possible. Therefore, to select the right translator you should consider his/her areas of specialization in combination with a number of years spent for translation of texts in a certain area.
Cost of Translation
Professional translators never work for peanuts. Beware of cheap translation!
Translator’s Profile, Portfolio, and Testimonials
If you still hesitating about how to find the right translator, another thing you may want to check before making a choice is a translator’s profile or a personal website.
When a translator takes the work seriously, his/her profile on a translation portal or a website will look correspondingly. Turn your attention to testimonials the translator receives from clients.
Feedback from clients will help you to form a general view of the translator’s work. Take a look at the translator’s portfolio to find projects related to the subject matter of your text.
The combination of these things may help you to make your final choice.
Test Translation
To check the quality of his/her work you may ask a translator to perform a small test. However, in this case, if you don’t know the target language, you will need to find another linguist who will check the quality.
Usually, test translation is about one page long (250 words). This size of a text is enough to define whether the translation is good or not.
On the other hand, test translation is not always a good method to define the quality, as proper translation, in some cases, requires more context than 250 words.
As a rule, test translation is used by translation agencies as a part of recruitment process.
Fast Response
Additional criteria to consider when looking for a translator, or a freelancer in general, is the rate of response or how fast a specialist answers to your requests.
Fast response can be an indirect indication of a translator’s commitment to the work. Professionals always try to maintain communication on a good level to satisfy the client needs.
