What are your translator selection criteria?

posted by

Lingo24 has stringent recruitment and testing procedures in place to ensure that you will only ever have the very best linguists working on your projects. As a minimum requirement, all translators will:

• Have at least five years experience as a professional translator
• Hold a professional translation qualification
• Be official members of professional translators’ bodies such as the ATA in the US, the ITI/IOL in the UK, or the equivalent institution in their local country
• Only translate into their native tongue from another language in which they are fluent
• Spend most of their time living and working in their native country

We also look for additional skills and experience when recruiting, such as industry specific knowledge. Certain projects require skills beyond that of mere translation, which is why many of our translators have previously worked in areas such as marketing, software and IT, engineering, research, teaching, law, telecoms, and healthcare, so that they are able to fully understand the processes, text and terminology of the projects they work on.
