When to use Standard Translation

Documentation intended for internal use or controlled contexts, without public exposure or legal implications.
Content with moderate technical complexity, suitable for translation by a qualified professional.
Consistency and clarity are valued, without the need to adapt tone or style to brand identity.
The focus is on the comprehension and functionality of the text, not stylistic perfection.

What this service ensures

Translation under ISO 18587: a pre-translation is produced by our proprietary translation engine.
From that pre-translation, a professional native translator who specialises in the domain translates the entire text and performs a final self-check of their own work.
Glossaries, translation memories and other linguistic resources are used whenever available.
Before delivery, the project manager runs the final quality check.

Approach used

Pre-translation by M21's proprietary engine, followed by the full translation of the entire text by a professional native translator.
Self-review by the translator and a final quality check by the project manager.
Integration of glossaries and translation memories provided by the client, whenever available.
A project manager follows your request from quote to delivery.
Direct workflow, without a second independent review stage; that applies to Strategic Translation.

This is the ideal service to ensure your organisation's internal content is communicated with clarity, rigour and confidence, facilitating everyday use.
