We can generally deliver in any file format that is convenient for you.
06
HOW DO YOU ENSURE QUALITY?
To ensure that specific terminology is developed and used consistently, Betaplan recommends that glossaries are developed for those projects that require them for each language before beginning the actual translation. Once the glossaries have been completed, the client has the option to review them with sources within its own company, or through overseas affiliates or distributors. Betaplan will work with the client's contacts to ensure that the glossaries are approved to the client's satisfaction.
All projects are assigned to native speakers of the target language with experience in translation and the topic of the text. They use industry-standard foreign language spell-checkers and are provided with each client's approved glossary, enabling them to provide highly accurate translations.
07

Betaplan has the resources and experience to offer foreign language translation services into many existing modern languages.
