AUTIS Co. RFP No. RFQ-MUSHARIKAT-KAB-003
Our Methodology:
In search for a realistic, yet rigorous and practical translation methodology we have selected what we believe
to be the most useful concepts set forth in the existing standards.

The concepts incorporated in our Translation Methodology, are outlined below.

1. Receipt of translation or quotation request from prospective client

This stage involves the examination of the request, the assessment of the technical feasibility of the project,
also taking into account the deadline requested, and of course drawing-up the quote. At this stage we only
contact the prospective client our customer if a specific requirement is not clear, or if we need additional
information, e.g. on the availability of glossaries. In general, we will be able to make a precise estimate
without needing further information.

2. Acceptance of our quote, acceptance of the translation assignment

This is when the real work can begin. We assign an in-house translator or outside colleague to your project. It
goes without saying that the translator will always be a native speaker with experience in your technical field
and/or affinity with the subject matter. Additionally, any special technical or other resources that might be
required are gathered, set-up, or possibly purchased.

3. Compilation of multilingual terminology list

This terminological database is primarily destined for internal use, to ensure the consistency of technical
terms within the translated document(s), as well as in future translation projects. At this stage we may ask the
customer to validate some terms that will be used in the target document. Work on the terminological level is
mostly carried out in parallel with the actual translation. This is the process that ensures compliance with our
quality criterion of terminological consistency.

Many clients also ask us to leverage terminology from previously translated documents, online sources,
printed manuals or brochures, etc. In so far as this terminology extraction or alignment work is justified
given the value of the assignment, this is carried out at no extra charge. We can however also provide
terminology extraction, multilingual database compilation, alignment, and technical terminology
management services independently of translation jobs.

4. First spell checking and "revision"

Spell checking is an easy, but all-important step in any serious translation process. After spell checking, the
translated document is now ready for the so-called "revision". The translator revises his work, i.e. compares
the source and target texts, checks the consistency of the technical terms used, checks the register of
language, and addresses style issues. This is the process that ensures compliance with our quality criterion of
accuracy.

6
AUTIS Co. RFP No. RFQ-MUSHARIKAT-KAB-003
5. "Review" by a second translator and final spell checking

After the revision round, during which all specific translation and language issues are resolved, the text is
passed on to another translator, who performs a "review". This quality control step involves a monolingual
review aimed at correcting errors, typos, or technical issues that the translator might have overlooked. The
reviewer will also focus in particular on the legibility, and fluidity of the translation, so that it reads like a
native text rather than like a translation. The review is normally carried out without the original document,
and is followed by a final spell check after all corrections have been entered into the text. This process is
mainly concerned with ensuring compliance with our quality criterion of legibility.

6. Delivery of the translated documents

After a final check to ensure all documents, text elements, text-in-figures, etc. have been translated and are
adequately formatted; the translation is now ready to be sent to the customer.

7. Archiving the source and target documents

The source and target texts are archived for future reference, together with the glossaries of technical terms
compiled during the translation process. That way we are well (and always better) prepared for your next
assignment.
