Profiling and translation
Posted: Fri Oct 04, 2019 4:22 am
I use 2 different translation agencies, depending on which language I want to translate into.
Recently, I sent each agency a set of files with some profiling (audience, product). I send the required ditaval file to the translation agency as well. I instructed them to only translate elements that aligned with the ditaval. However, I also told them that if there was any doubt, they should go ahead and translate it. *In both cases, the agency translated text that the ditaval file would have excluded. *
Has anyone else encountered anything like this?
