Quality is not a final checkpoint at Talkbridge — it is a continuous process that begins the moment your project enters our system and continues well after delivery. Our ISO 17100-certified workflow ensures that every translation meets the highest standards of accuracy, consistency, and cultural appropriateness.

Five Steps to a Perfect Translation

At the core of our quality framework is the TEP model: Translation, Editing, and Proofreading. Every document is first translated by a subject-matter expert, then reviewed by a second linguist who checks for accuracy against the source text, and finally proofread by a third specialist who evaluates the target text as a standalone document for fluency, grammar, and style.

In addition to human review, we deploy industry-leading QA technology that automatically checks for untranslated segments, inconsistent terminology, number and date format errors, tag and formatting issues, and adherence to client-specific glossaries and style guides. These automated checks catch the types of mechanical errors that even experienced reviewers can occasionally miss, creating a safety net that ensures consistently flawless output.

The Right Translator for Every Project

Our proven workflow has been refined over 15 years and more than 50,000 projects. Every step is designed to maximise quality while minimising turnaround time.

Upload your documents through TalkPortal, email them directly to your account manager, or use our API integration. We accept all major file formats including Word, PDF, InDesign, XML, HTML, and more. Specify your target languages, deadline preferences, and any special instructions.

Our automated analysis engine calculates word count, repetition rates, and complexity within seconds. A dedicated project manager reviews the estimate, applies any volume discounts, and delivers a binding, all-inclusive quote — typically within 30 minutes during business hours.

Once approved, your project is assigned to a native-speaking translator with verified expertise in your industry and subject matter. For large projects, we assemble coordinated teams with a lead translator, reviewer, and terminologist to ensure consistency across all deliverables.

Every translation undergoes a rigorous multi-stage quality assurance process. An independent reviewer checks for accuracy, terminology consistency, grammar, and style. Automated QA tools verify formatting, number accuracy, and tag integrity. Nothing leaves our system without passing both human and automated checks.

Your completed translation is delivered in the original file format, fully formatted and ready to use. We provide a quality report alongside every delivery. Post-delivery support includes free minor revisions within 7 days and ongoing terminology management for recurring clients.
