How does Orchestra guarantee quality in translation?
Our Formula for Quality has three phases:

- Customized Translation. A team of translators translates the documents following a style guide and common glossaries, if these exist. The first revision and proofreading of the texts is also carried out in this phase.
- Rigorous Editing. Translated documents are revised a second time by an editor, who, by making sure the translation has been done correctly and according to the client's style guides and customized glossary, ensures overall quality. Formatting is also checked in this phase to make sure the original format has been maintained.
- Continual Improvement. We always seek the client’s feedback to gauge their level of satisfaction, to better understand their preferences and incorporate any necessary changes into the style guide and glossary for use with future translations.

The entire process is carried out under a project manager's strict supervision, which guarantees the end result.
Which languages do you work in?
We can translate your documents into and from any language.
Which areas do you specialize in?
We have extensive translation experience in the following fields: business and marketing, computers telecommunications maybe and software, engineering, finance, law, medicine, and general science and social science topics.
Electronic or paper: Which format is best?
We recommend that you have your original documents in electronic format because the translation process will be much quicker. If you only have a paper copy, don't worry-just send it by fax or by messenger and we'll take care of it. We will deliver your translated documents in electronic format or on paper, whichever you prefer.
Will my documents' original format be maintained?
At Orchestra we make every effort to maintain your documents' original format. Our translators overwrite the original text with their translation in order to preserve styles, fonts, page numbering and columns.
Which electronic formats do you work with?
We work with the most widely-used electronic and DTP (Desktop Publishing) formats for Unix, Windows and Mac. You don't have to worry about the format and version of the documents you provide us-in general, we will deliver your translations with the same format and version as the original. Below is a list of the formats our clients work in most frequently. If your format is not on the list, please contact us.

- Electronic documents: MS Office (complete), WordPerfect, Adobe Acrobat, among others.
- Desktop Publishing: Framemaker, QuarkXpress.
- Others: TXT, HTML, XML, RTF.

What if I need a RUSH translation?
A rush translation of any of your documents means a 30% reduction in the turnaround time. In this case, we will apply the corresponding rush rate.

Does Orchestra translate software (software localization)?
Yes. We translate, adapt and localize software. For more information about this service, please go to Localization.
How long does it take to translate a document?
To give you a general idea, and keeping in mind translation, proofreading and editing time, our translators can complete between 1500 and 3000 words per day. Other factors such as the complexity and length of the document or number of people assigned to the project also affect the process. If the original document is on paper, more time should be added to reconstruct the original format. Remember: translation is a complex process subject to a compromise between quality and time. Our most experienced clients know that the best results are obtained by working with professionals, applying a Formula for Quality and by allotting the necessary time.
