Assessment Services/Interpretation Assessment for firms and individual translators
Translation quality assessment services are available for both translation firms and individual translators and in both situations, certification is used to obtain the desired result of translation quality assessment service. For businesses, certification is based on the company's compliance with a quality standard and the standards themselves. As a result, these standards almost always specify the procedures that should be followed to achieve high-quality translation. Individual translator's assessment services are certified based on their ability to communicate effectively in their native language. It is also expected that translation assessment services would play a vital role in efforts to promote public acceptance of the profession and legal protection for translators. Although translation quality evaluation is becoming more critical, there is still much confusion and misinformation about the phrase.
Additionally, the process is still very subjective. Future work on translation quality assessment services must go beyond subjective, one-sided, or dogmatic judgments by setting intersubjective verifiable evaluating criteria based on large-scale empirical investigations. This will need to move beyond subjective, unjust, or opinionated decisions. To create ideas regarding why, how, and to what extent one translation is better than another, it is necessary to analyze large corpora of translations from and into many different languages. But, our focus is more on the operational procedures rather than the scientific background
Translation Quality Assessment
Assessments are usually conducted at agreed time intervals, ensuring that an organization has a clearly defined system for quality monitoring. They can also help determine whether an organization is compliant with the requirements of a specific quality management system.
Assessment is an oversight and monitoring activity that ensures a company’s QMS is effectively implemented, adequate, and adhered to. Without a person or team governing and reviewing the QMS, it would be difficult to detect and correct potential issues. Without an effective quality assessment function, the QMS program is incomplete

Pre-Assessment
Pre-assessments are the first step in the process of an assessment. During a pre-assessment, the system documentation and different procedures and processes are examined to ensure that all information is correct and the system works properly before the company undergoes an official certification or supplier assessment. It is equal to which standard you are focusing on. Our team is well-trained in such assessment and will conduct an added-value pre-audit to focus on all possible gaps to avoid any unexpected and unpleasant surprises within the very important certification, recertification, or supplier audit.
Why Pre-Assessment?
Most importantly, pre-assessment gives companies a chance to catch and correct system and documentation errors on their own before they are caught by an independent 3rd party assessment or through a supplier assessment. A pre-assessment of your specific standard may give your team the confidence to deal with the lead assessment of the certification audit later on during the initial certification process. The pre-assessment is the final stage in preparing for a successful certification or recertification audit.
Diagnostic Assessment
Diagnostic assessment focuses on GAP findings against the specific ISO Standard. It’s an early stage to complete the system documentation and procedures to enter the pre-assessment or even directly the certification assessment.
