The language translation process
Your step-by-step
Analysis
Before starting the translation, it is important to have all the necessary material to be able to carry it out correctly. Therefore, you must have a translation memory, the material provided by the client, the brand’s style guide, and the glossary of terms.
Linguistic translation
This process is usually carried out by a person whose target language is the same as that of the target text. For this, he or she must produce a translation with good syntax, punctuation, lexis, semantics and that can be fully understood by the target audience of the translated text.
Linguistic proofreading
This step must be performed by a different native translator than the one who performed the translation. He/she must compare the source text with the target text and ensure that it complies with the brand’s style and can be read fluently.
Verification
Finally, it is checked if words are repeated, if punctuation is correct, and if fonts and images correspond to the original document.

Tips for a good Spanish translation
The importance of context
Words have different meanings depending on the context in which they are found. Likewise, there are words that together do not refer to their literal meaning, but to the meaning provided by the sentence in which they are found.
An overall view
For a good translation, it is important not to focus on individual sentences, but on the paragraph, on the rest of the sentences that accompany them.
Be faithful to the style of the original writer
It is important to read the original text carefully and note any stylistic marks left by the author of the original text throughout the writing.
Advantages of language translation
Discover the advantages of investing in Spanish translation of your content
In-depth knowledge of the language
A professional translator knows the target language, its expressions and meanings. In this way, he/she can produce a text that seems to have been written in that language from the beginning.
Accuracy of style
Unlike machine translation, a professional translator knows how to reflect the style of the author of the text and translate it into the target translation. In this way, he or she can translate expressions and puns.
Cultural knowledge
What may be acceptable in one culture may be rude or offensive in another. A translator handles these cultural nuances in order to adapt them in the translation.
