Glossary Creation

As projects often feature key industry terminology, successful translations require a high degree of expertise.. Upon initiating all projects, PLG creates a glossary that is critical for translating documents for the financial services industry. A glossary may consist of 30 to 100 terms, depending on the size of the project and industry. Although not required, customer approval of the glossary is highly recommended as it can result in a significant improvement to the quality of the translation. For more information about how a glossary can benefit your projects, please contact a PLG sales professional today.

Customer Review

PLG works closely with the customer during the review process. Feedback and suggestions may often come from in-house staff who speak the foreign language or from vendors or sales representatives outside of the United States. We also welcome partnerships with any third party resources as desired by the client. This often results in a better quality translation, particularly if the project contains a large degree of financial and industry-specific terminology.

PLG will always diligently review and incorporate customers’ input into the final translation product but we also recognize that we are ultimately responsible for the overall quality of the translation.

Second-Person Editing and Proofreading Upon Request

Second-person editing is common in the journalism and book publishing industries and the translation industry holds no exceptions. While editing is not required by any means, a second set of eyes can help avoid unnecessary human errors and improve the overall quality and readability of the translations. While our translators strive to avoid errors and inconsistencies, our proofreaders and editors ensure that the end result is of higher quality.

Languages

Due to our expansive network of translators, we are able to offer financial translation services in over 60 languages, including:
