​

The five project scoping points below are the minimum information required to assess your needs in terms of type of service, objectives, constraints and timeframe:​

​

1.    Specify the source and target languages, the target audience [age group, links with the client (prospects, internal decision-makers, social       networks, etc.)], the specific constraints (language register, keywords to be used/avoided, room for adaptation of the source message/target French-speaking audience, etc.) and the general and more specific context of the Translation, Localisation, Transcreation or Copywriting project.

​

2.     ​​​Have access to an authentic copy of the file to be translated, i.e. identical in form and content to the original

o   and specify the expected target format of the project

​

3.     Define the appropriate level of service (see Service Offer)

o Standard translation

o Localisation

o Transcreation

o Copywriting

o Formal, semantic or stylistic revision

​

4.    Define the timeframe for delivery from the date the order is fully confirmed (and all useful and necessary documents for the project are provided) and indicate any possible flexibility.

​

5.    Clarify whether a terminology resource is available and/or whether translation-related resources will be provided with the file to be translated in order to better grasp the requirements, context and peculiarities.

​

Once these details have been clarified, you will receive a proposal
