Scanning Tips Guide
Where Scanning Tips Guide fits, and the parts we cannot confirm without seeing the file.
Where it fits day to day
We translate documents for people and organisations who need a US receiving office to accept the file, so we publish the requirements we work to and confirm the rest at intake.
- Handled per project: file preparation guide.
- Confirmed in writing: document format guide.
- Handled per project: scanned document preparation.
- Confirmed in writing: large file preparation.
- Confirmed in writing: certified vs standard translation.
From intake to delivery
Covers Scanning Tips Guide end to end — documents, review and delivery.
Intake and scope
Scope, format, deadline and glossary are agreed in writing at intake, so nothing is renegotiated later and the brief is fully documented.
Terminology preparation
A project glossary is locked before drafting, so sector terms stay consistent across the whole file and future revisions.
Translation
A domain translator drafts your file against the locked glossary, preserving layout, register and the exact wording of the source.
Second-reader review
A separate linguist verifies terminology, numbers, dates and names line by line, never the original translator.
Formatting and delivery
Fonts, tables, headers and numbering are rebuilt to match the source, and the final file is checked against it before it ships.
