Sources consulted on · DeepL
Suitable tasks
Produce a draft translation for review against defined terminology. Prepare proper names, preserved terms and number and date conventions.
Limits and checks
Fluent translation can alter a negation, obligation or unit. Verify tables and layout after export; consequential passages require competent review.
A repeatable trial
Select public text containing technical terms, numbers and an ambiguous sentence. Review translation against the original. For a file, inspect tables, notes and page breaks as well.
How to decide
Compare correction time and meaning errors for each language pair. Good performance in one language does not establish equal quality in all others.
Frequently asked questions
Does fluency guarantee meaning?
No. Compare important passages with the source.
How should I test a document?
Check content and layout in the exported file.
Which data should I record?
Language pair, terminology, meaning errors and correction time.
