Key terms are identified
in your documents.
Key terms are identifiedCertified for translation, post-editing and the Canadian standard.
ISO 17100, ISO 18587 and CAN/CGSB-131.10, audited by an independent registrar. One of a handful of Canadian companies certified on all three. And one step we add before translation: your terms are settled first.
01
Why it matters to you
When you seal or issue a translated document, you are trusting a process you cannot see. The certifications are that process, written down and audited by someone other than us. But wrong terms cause 47% of translation errors (General Motors’ study of its own translations; SAE J1930, Woyde 2005), and a certificate alone does not catch them. A term also costs 10 to 20 times more to fix at the end of the translation cycle than at the start (Xerox, JD Edwards). Without the terms settled first, you are left hoping nobody finds the term your engineer would have caught.
02
What each standard covers
- ISO 17100, translation services. Qualified translators and, on specialist-review projects, revision of every translation by a second linguist before delivery.
- ISO 18587, post-editing of machine translation. The rules for reviewing an AI or machine draft until it meets the quality required, which is what our specialists do when they review a NEOLO draft.
- CAN/CGSB-131.10, the Canadian standard for translation services. The national standard for translation services in Canada.
03
Quality starts with the terms
The standards govern how a translation is produced and revised. We add one step before translation starts:
A subject-matter expert translates them,
and your team approves them.
A subject-matter expert translates them,They go into your term base,
which every translator on the project uses, and which stays yours.
They go into your term base,A final check against the term base
runs before delivery.
A final check against the term baseThe same term base is applied to your drawings, specifications and reports, and AutoCAD DWG drawings come back with the translation written in place, in the same terms as the specification. Your engineers review the translation in minutes, not hours, because the terms were settled before translation began.
Measured, not claimed
NEOLO’s term extraction, the first step of that process, scores 67.3 F1 on ACTER, the standard benchmark; the best published result is 61.2.
