Establishing terminology criteria is essential. Within your specialist field (engineering, medicine, software) and possibly within your own company, you use terms to differentiate yourself from others. Many companies use terminology as a differentiator in the market: enforcing company terminology means that users identify general concepts with your brand. We all have in mind many examples in which the name of a brand or product has eventually become generic. - Provide assurance of a review by a native speaker and use of tools to verify that style and terminology have been respected.
- Save the translated data in a database (translation memory) that will update existing data and provide savings when you decide you need another translation.
