BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the managing director of the Bulgarian daughter company of a large organization that focuses on media acquisitions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with PoliLingua?

We needed translation services for our creative materials.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They delivered and proofread the translations. So, after a translator finished their work, another specialist would QA the work for errors and authenticate it. They were also helpful in localizing some of our content. For instance, we may ask them to provide us with a typical Swedish name for our Swedish materials. The final deliverables were translated into European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, German, Italian, Swedish, and Dutch. We use their services about four times each week.  

What is the team composition?

We had one main point of contact who served as an account manager. I didn’t speak with the translators themselves, through.

How did you come to work with PoliLingua?

I searched for the best translation companies on Google and contacted pretty much all the companies on the first page. Their rates were reasonable compared to others, and the team turned projects around very quickly. I stuck with them because of their translation quality and responsiveness to our messages. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $3,000 on their services so far. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2020. Our teams are still collaborating, and our need fluctuates with them each month at this point.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The work is delivered quickly, and the team responds to us in a timely manner whenever we have questions. The quality of the translations is strong as well, so we’re very satisfied and happy to continue our partnership. The materials they’ve delivered are performing well in the market. 

How did PoliLingua perform from a project management standpoint?

All of our work was done via email. We would send them the written material to be translated, and they would return with what we requested. They even offer a rush order service that allows us to get projects done on a faster timeline if needed. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They answer our questions quickly, even during non-business hours. It’s really nice to have that level of support. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

Sometimes I’m concerned that some of their translators may not be native speakers of the language. They’ve assured me that they are, but it may be nice to have something that would verify that. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Give specific instructions about how you want things done within your email requests. That way, you’ll get things back faster with no mistakes.

Company Responses

The service provider responded on July 19, 2023. 

1. Client is claiming that the translation provided by us is made using Google Translate, thus a machine translation and not human translation. This is something that is very easy to check. In order to prove this, we translated now the CV using Google, and compared it to the file we delivered to the client in May. The difference is obvious. I can provide a document with Tracked Changes for review.

2. Client never got back to us informing that he wasn't happy with the quality of the translation delivered. We always encourage our customers to reach out to us in case of any queries, as we have a dedicated support team ready to assist with any concerns you may have had during the translation process. Our aim is to ensure that the client is always happy with the service delivered. We leave no message, request without a response.
