Chinese-Dutch Translation Annotation The client is a renowned translation company in China and one of the New Third Board-listed enterprises specializing in language services. Its core business focuses on global audiovisual multilingual localization, with a commitment to disseminating high-quality multilingual cultural content worldwide. The client partnered with us on this project due to our company's robust overall capabilities, extensive resources, and streamlined, efficient project management processes.
Challenges The project involved assessing the quality of translations, where each original text had five translated versions that required annotations for error types and severity levels. This demanded translators who could not only evaluate translation accuracy but also pinpoint specific error categories—tasks that only professional translators could handle. Additionally, Chinese-to-Dutch is a niche language pair with a limited pool of translators, making it even harder to find suitable candidates for this project. Furthermore, some translators were based abroad, which added communication challenges due to time zone differences.
Solutions The company formed a dedicated project team, comprising professional project managers and a strong resource development team, to devise an efficient solution that integrated high-quality language translation with leading-edge technology platforms.
