Assurance of quality

Content creation is one thing, a good translation of the content is also essential for all customers and end users. Etteplan Translations has been taking this task very seriously for decades. The translation process has been proven so professional that Etteplan has obtained ISO 17100 quality certification. This internationally recognized standard replaces NEN-EN 15038 and is aimed at providers of translation services.

Expertise

When Etteplan receives a translation request, the text is not sent to the first available translator. First, the text to be translated goes through an analysis process using advanced software. Etteplan also applies an optimal mix of human and technical know-how in the translation process. Regional Manager Technical Documentation Jos de Ruyter: “Our translation coordinators have extensive experience. They work with a large network of native speakers all over the world. Our translators are all experienced and familiar with translating technical content.” Customers simply submit their requests and the texts that need translation via a portal.

Optimal reuse

Each customer gets its own translation memory, to enable reuse of all words or phrases that have already been translated. De Ruyter: “As more content is translated, the actual part of the content to be translated or checked becomes smaller and smaller. This makes the translation process efficient, fast and competitively priced. If desired, we include company terminology in the process. We can also review texts and possibly improve them before they are translated.” The entire process is documented in detail and laid down in work instructions. The translation coordinators have short lines of communication with the customer.

Pride

The ISO 17100 quality certification places high demands on the translator, the translation coordinator and the software. The process must also contain various steps, each of which must be secured. De Ruyter: “We passed the audit with flying colors and are proud of our ISO 17100 certification. It proves to our customers that we meet all requirements. And that we are a reliable partner for translations: we offer quality, efficiency, and complete unburdening in the field of translations - at the lowest possible cost. Leading companies in the manufacturing industry have been our happy customers for years – and still are.”
