How to Choose a Long-Term Translation Partner

Beyond single projects

Product documentation, compliance packs and marketing programs span years. A long-term partner maintains glossaries, TM and linguist continuity.

Partnership criteria

  • Capacity across your language set and peak loads
  • API/TMS integration for continuous localization
  • Quarterly business reviews and quality scorecards
  • Volume pricing and predictable SLAs

Onboarding

Invest in style guides, reference translations and pilot modules. Early alignment prevents expensive rework at scale.
