General Text

Work methods:
1. When I receive a job offer, I carefully study it and I request further information if necessary. Then I request to see the text to be translated or a sample, in order to decide whether it corresponds to my field of specialist competence.
2. I reject the job if I am not qualified in that specific field or if I cannot meet the deadline.
3. I accept the job after receiving the official purchase order and I sign a contract if the job comes from a new client.
4. I plan my time in such way that I can finish the job one day before the deadline, to prevent any unexpected circumstances.
5. I read the full text and I build up a terminological list. If my own resources prove to be inadequate, I contact my client to ask for clarifications. If any problems remain, I contact a terminologist or a specialist to help me solve them.
6. I do the translation according to the client’s request and recommendations, using a translation memory if possible (Trados).
7. I check the accuracy of the translation against the original file and I also check the following:

o omissions
o bulleted lists (number, order and content)
o product numbers and names
o specifications - i.e. paper size, dpi, MB
o client’s guidelines
o glossary inconsistencies

o typos
o misspellings
o grammar mistakes
o hyphenation errors
o correct use of brackets
o correct use of full stops/commas
o measurements - i.e. % signs, decimal figures, superscript
