Education Translation Services

Working with only the most qualified translators and our ability to work with any file type, PSG will help your school district communicate accurately to your ESL population.

Capabilities

PSG has the expertise to translate documents for K-12 schools. Here are some common file types in the education industry we can translate:

Our Process

Step 1: Client Request

Clients may send files to PSG for translation via email or through a secure portal.

Step 2: Pre-Flight

Each project is given to a dedicated Project Manager who will prepare the file(s) for translation, determine the deliverable format of the translated file, select the most appropriate translator and ….

Step 3: Leverage Translation Memory (TM)

Once the file(s) has been prepared for translation the content is run through our preferred computer-assisted translation tools, memoQ, to determine if any content has been previously translated. All previously translated content will automatically be provided to the translator to ensure consistency and accuracy.

Step 4: Translation

A qualified subject matter expert will perform the first round of translations so that the source content’s style, tone and nuances are conveyed accurately in the translated content. All translations are performed in memoQ but the original source file(s) are given to the translators as reference. 

Step 5: Revising (Editing)

A second qualified translator will review the initial translations to ensure the translations properly reflect the meaning of the source content.

Step 6: Proofreading

During the proofreading process the original translator will incorporate any edits from the revising stage and give the content a final proofread in which they specifically check for formatting, grammar, punctuation and aesthetic errors.

Step 7: Layout

Once the translations have been completed the translated content is merged with the source file format.

Step 8: Quality Assurance

A final review is performed by the designed Project Manager to ensure all of the client’s requirements have been met and that the translated file(s) is consistent with the source file(s).

Step 9: Delivery

The translated files are sent back to the client in the same manner in which they are received and the Translation Memory is updated to capture all new translations.
