At Prose, we carefully handpick our translators and localizers to deliver the highest quality results. Our vetting process ensures that your translations are precise, culturally resonant, and perfectly suited to your brand.
Here are the main criteria we consider:
- Native fluency: We prioritize translators with native-level proficiency in both the source and target languages, ensuring your message is translated with full linguistic accuracy and nuance.
- Proven track record and credentials: We work with experienced professionals who have demonstrated success with top brands and publications. Their backgrounds and achievements reflect their expertise and ability to deliver consistent, high-quality work.
- Accreditations and certifications: We value translators who hold industry-recognized certifications, which guarantee that they meet stringent quality and professionalism standards.
- Industry expertise (as needed): For specialized projects, we assign translators who have deep knowledge of your industry, ensuring the right terminology and context are applied without compromising accuracy.
- Cultural fluency: Beyond language skills, we ensure our translators are adept at making your content culturally relevant. They adapt idioms, references, and expressions to align with the cultural expectations of your target audience, ensuring the translation feels natural and engaging.
- Brand alignment: For ongoing collaborations, we take the time to match you with translators who fit your brand’s voice, communication style, and even your preferred time zone. This ensures a smooth working relationship and consistent output over time.
- Professionalism and flexibility: We only select translators who are professional, reliable, and adaptable. Whether you're working with tight deadlines or complex projects, they have the flexibility to meet your needs without compromising on quality.
Each translator undergoes a rigorous, three-step vetting process: a comprehensive review before joining our network, a project-specific assessment to ensure they’re the right fit for your needs, and ongoing quality evaluations based on client feedback and internal audits. This ensures that every project receives the attention and precision it deserves, from start to finish.
