Translation
Process

Process

Voiance brings you success and cost savings through a streamlined and U.S-managed translation process. We manage as much or as little of the process as you require. We are ISO certified to ensure fast, accurate, and high quality translations, with repeatable results.

Linguist Recruitment

We ensure quality through our ISO certified resource selection process:

  1. Certification – Each linguistic resource must have significant experience in the translation field, including professional certification from a university or equivalent.
  2. Testing – Applicants must pass our comprehensive assessment that measures translation and localization ability.
  3. Test Project – Applicants complete a test project which is graded according to Localization Industry Standard Association (LISA ) grading.
  4. Quality Audits – Linguistic resources receive random auditing every 6 months, graded by LISA standards.

Integrated Quality Assurance (QA)

We measure quality at every step of the translation and localization process – not just at the end. This provides a more favorable and ultimately cost-effective outcome for our clients.

Turnkey Deliverables

We deliver projects in final formats, ready to be dropped off, published, or posted online.
