FAQ
BEELINGWA'S LINGUISTIC QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCESS
Linguistic quality assurance is not just straightforward proofreading. It is an independent audit, the aim of which is to objectively evaluate the quality of the translations produced by your other language service providers.
In our linguistic quality assurance process, the source and target texts are analysed to check the quality of the submitted translation.
Beelingwa compares the source and target versions sentence by sentence, pinpoints mistakes and corrects them. At the end of the assignment, you receive a full report.
Below is a list of the most common problems detected during our linguistic quality assurance checks:
- Mistranslations
- Lack of meaning
- Omissions or additions
- Incorrect terminology
- Consistency issues
- Formatting
- Stylistic problems
- Grammar, spelling and punctuation problems
- Erroneous links to other pages (in the case of websites).
Carrying out a linguistic quality assurance check enables you to:
- Ensure that you publish high-quality translations
- Identify areas for improvement in your multilingual communications
- Receive recommendations intended for you and your translators
- Benefit from an outside eye
Our linguistic quality assurance check includes the following steps:
- In-depth analysis of the source text and the translation
- Identification of mistakes and anomalies
- Corrections
- Check against your guidelines and glossary
- Comments explaining the problems detected
- Full and detailed report on the quality of the translations
- Recommendations for your translators
Generally speaking, it is always advisable to have a linguistic quality assurance check carried out, but it is essential in the following cases:
- When the translated text is of a sensitive nature
- When a poor translation could have adverse effects on your business
- When your business harbours doubts about the quality of translations produced by your language service provider
- When your business doesn't have the in-house resources to check the quality of translations produced by your language service provider

The revision of translations produced by machine translation software (Google Translate or DeepL, for example) is a different service known as "post-editing".
This can be used for documents of little importance, which are not going to ever be published.
However, for important texts or those earmarked for publication, linguistic quality assurance is vital.
Below is the typical profile of the linguists at Beelingwa who will be tasked with the linguistic quality assurance check of your documents:
