Linguistic Quality Assurance FAQs
What is Linguistic Quality Assurance (LQA) for translation?
Linguistic Quality Assurance is a multi-step review process that is a robust line of defense against translation risk. LQA ensures the medical-grade accuracy of your translation, and allows Language Scientific to fully certify and stand behind our work.
How is Linguistic Quality Assurance different from editing or proofreading?
Editing and proofreading (sometimes called revision) are important steps, but they are single-phase review processes. Linguistic Quality Assurance involves multiple steps, and also checks for factors like brand consistency, cultural appropriateness, and compliance with required terminology and glossaries.
When should a company use Linguistic Quality Assurance services?
Linguistic Quality Assurance comes into play when you’re localizing your content for global audiences, especially if you’re addressing multiple countries or regions. LQA is particularly important when you want to maintain a consistent global brand image, you’re working on high-risk documents, or your project has regulatory or compliance implications.
Can Linguistic Quality Assurance be used to review AI-generated translations?
In most cases, Language Scientific’s proprietary Linguistic Quality Assurance process can be implemented on any translation, whether it was done manually, with AI assistance, or entirely by AI.
How does Linguistic Quality Assurance help to reduce risk in medical, technical, and scientific translations?
Linguistic Quality Assurance goes beyond simple proofreading. LQA may involve evaluating the source content to make sure that it is clear and concise, even before the translation starts. During the translation, LQA ensures that linguists are following the specified terminology for your project, and any house style guides you may be using. LQA also takes non-linguistic factors such as cultural appropriateness into account.
How does Language Scientific ensure subject-matter accuracy in Linguistic Quality Assurance?
Unlike translation companies that use generalist medical, scientific, or technical translators, Language Scientific’s team includes certified linguists, and subject-matter experts who hold advanced degrees in medicine, science, and engineering.
Can Language Scientific provide a certificate of accuracy after performing a Linguistic Quality Assurance review?
Yes; the objective of Linguistic Quality Assurance is to review and verify every aspect of a translation. After ensuring that your translation meets our standards for medical-grade accuracy, we fully certify and stand behind the end result.
