Introduction

With the acceleration of globalization, more and more companies and individuals need to seek translation services. However, choosing a translation company is almost the most important step because it will affect the quality and accuracy of the translation. This article will explain from five aspects why you should avoid choosing large enterprises to provide translation services for you.


Pricing Issue

Large enterprises typically have high operating costs and disproportionately high pricing power, which means that their translation services can be expensive. In my experience, we have even heard that the English translation charges 3.50 HK dollars / word!Moreover, it is regrettable that the excess premium is often “confiscated” by large enterprises under the guise of project management, and then their pricing power is abused, and they are subcontracted to novice translators at low prices, resulting in inferior quality.


Therefore, choosing a medium-sized translation company can not only save costs for clients, but also ensure the quality of translations.


Quality Control

In the eyes of large enterprises, translation may be no different from any aspect of the business, thinking that “the less time spent, the higher the return.” Therefore, large enterprises may overly rely on machine translation, resulting in translation quality not meeting expectations. Small and medium-sized translation companies pay more attention to human translation and strive to ensure that the quality of translations meets the requirements of clients and readers.

Customer Service

Large enterprises may be unable to provide timely and effective services to customers due to their large scale, and they often employ a large number of translators who may not necessarily have professional backgrounds and sufficient experience. In contrast, small and medium-sized translation companies usually pay more attention to selecting translators with professional knowledge and rich experience to ensure translation quality.


Confidentiality

Compared to large enterprises, small and medium-sized translation companies are more likely to protect clients’ confidential information. They usually sign confidentiality agreements with translators to ensure that clients’ confidential information is not leaked. On the other hand, large enterprises have to deal with numerous clients, and if they accidentally hand over your company’s documents to your business competitor(s), the potential loss would be unimaginable.


Conclusion

When choosing a translation company, avoiding large enterprises can bring you more benefits, including more reasonable prices, higher quality control, better customer service, more professional translators, and more secure confidentiality. Therefore, when choosing a translation company, it is recommended to consider small and medium-sized translation companies as a better choice.
