You Only Stand to Gain by Working With a Professional Language Service Provider

A professional language service provider (LSP) is more than an intermediary between you and a translator. A professional LSP provides specialised language experts, technology, project management, and quality and security standards to deliver consistent, reliable language services at scale.

Everything from a single source.

Typically, it offers you language services such as translation, interpreting, localisation, copywriting, proofreading/editing and related services like transcription and subtitling. LSPs manage the entire workflow and act as a central point of contact for all your language needs.

Quality assurance and consistency

With a professional LSP, you can rely on strictly applied quality management (often ISO 9001-certified) that consistently delivers excellent results. Every translation follows a defined workflow with fixed quality assurance rules, such as: translator selection based on qualification and subject-matter expertise, native-speaker translators and proofreaders, review of the translation by a second language expert with a final quality check, and the application and maintenance of translation memory and terminology.

Scalability and language coverage

Unlike individual freelancers, an LSP maintains a large network of vetted language experts across dozens of language pairs and areas of expertise. This allows it to scale quickly, meet urgent deadlines and cover rare languages.

Data security and compliance

When an LSP is certified to ISO 27001, it means it invests in the security of its entire process infrastructure and therefore in protecting your translations and the data they contain. Encrypted data transfer, secure client portals, FADP-compliant data processing, confidentiality agreements for translators and different work processes depending on the confidentiality level of your documents are some of the typical measures.

Technology and innovation

Clients like things to keep getting faster and better. That is why modern LSPs use technology to increase efficiency: AI-assisted translation with human review, client portals for easy ordering, CMS connectors, PIM integrations, API integration for automated workflows and analytics to optimise your language output.
