Answers are limited to what we can confirm at intake.

Who reviews terminology management before it is sent?
Turnaround is confirmed at intake, not estimated here. Standard documents usually run in days; anything needing a third party takes longer and we say so before you commit.
Who reviews quality checklist before it is sent?
If it depends on the receiving office we will not claim otherwise. Where the requirement is unclear we say it is unclear and tell you exactly what to ask them.
How is native proofreading handled?
Scans and phone photos are accepted for most documents. If legibility is a problem we tell you what to re-shoot rather than guessing at the text.
What should I know about legal terminology qa?
It depends on the language pair and the document set. We review the file, confirm the receiving institution's requirements, then send the scope and the date in writing — nothing is quoted from a template.
What should I know about technical terminology qa?
A second reader reviews the translation against the source before delivery. Terminology stays on the list agreed at intake and formatting is checked on the output file.
What do you need from me for two stage proofreading?
We confirm this at intake. Pricing, turnaround and any agency wording depend on the document and the receiving institution, so we state them in writing before work starts and keep pending items marked as pending.
