GLOBAL DIGITAL TIMES | Tips for Choosing a Good Translation Service - Translation services are one of the businesses in the service sector that is currently increasingly in demand by the public, especially the upper class people who work as businessmen or entrepreneurs with broad territories, including to foreign countries. Usually, translation services are used to make things easier for one business person to another in a different territorial area. The businesses also vary, some do business by trading goods, some do business by offering services.

This translation service is usually carried out by certain circles who often deal with parties from other countries that are not included in international languages because doing business in English is usually done without translators. However, there are also those who use the services of a translator because the party does not have the ability to speak English, so they need another party as a medium to be able to communicate with other parties.

Not only that, translator services are also usually used as personal assistants by someone engaged in the world of public speaking , such as state officials or state officials who often work abroad. The translator service here does not only function to translate what the speaker is talking about to the other party, but also acts as a spokesperson for the service tenant if the service tenant does not have good foreign language skills at all.

To get good communication results, employers or translator service tenants are always looking for good translators so that there will be no misunderstandings when communicating between the two parties. Some entrepreneurs prefer translation services provided by several foreign language agencies in Indonesia to get a spokesperson who is considered capable of being a medium for their future communications.

However, there are also some business people who prefer to audition or open applications independently so they can get translation services as expected by the service tenant.

In choosing translator services in the first way, tenants can easily get good translator services because this can be seen from the price range which is usually in accordance with the quality of the translator itself. If the price range for translator services is quite expensive, then the tenant will also get a guarantee to be able to get a good translator so there is no need to worry if you encounter difficulties later.

The more expensive the price offered by the agency that rents out translator services, the better the quality of the translator. Conversely, the cheaper the price offered by the agency, then don't be surprised if at any time the tenants find it difficult to communicate with their business partners.

However, a good agency will not merely provide a price range for renting translator services. Usually, there are procedures that must be complied with by both parties (the agency and the service lessor) so that neither of them suffers a loss.

First, look for an agency that rents translator services with accreditation that is well known to the public in the tenant's area (even internationally). This accreditation can be used as a parameter to determine the quality of the translation services to be hired so that if there are deficiencies on the part of the agency or translator, the lessee can immediately submit another request or offer.

Second, if you have great financial ability, then choose a translation service with the highest price because the quality offered at a high price will not disappoint the tenant, especially if the agency is an accredited institution that is well-known and qualified. However, if the tenant's finances are not sufficient to be able to pay for the services of a translator at the highest price, then just choose a price that is in accordance with the ability of the tenant as long as you keep doing the first tip, which is to find an accredited agency that is well-known for its quality.

Furthermore, the lessee must also be careful when hiring translator services because a good agency will submit a contract or at least a statement that the translator's services that have been hired are not leased again to other tenants so that the translator who has been hired in full becomes the first tenant's full rights.

Even in the proposed contract there are several points that must be complied with by both parties, both the lessee and the agency that rents out the translation services. These contracts are usually protected by law so that if there is a mistake that cannot be resolved amicably or amicably, then both parties can resolve it through legal means.

There are various ways to pay for translation services. Some are paid in cash when ordering translator services, some are paid in installments during the use of translator services by first giving a down payment as a sign of the contract being signed by both parties.

If all of these things have been fulfilled by an agency, then don't hesitate to hire a translator. Especially if there is an agency that provides a money-back guarantee if the translator hired cannot satisfy the tenant's desire for good communication.

As previously explained, getting translator services can be done in two ways, namely by seeking from well-accredited foreign language institutions or by opening private open recruitment so that translators can be found according to the tenant's wishes.

To get translation services in the second way, more tips and knowledge are needed compared to choosing translators in the first way. The reason is, by choosing their own translator services, the tenants must also at least have a sufficient basis in understanding foreign languages. If not, the tenants will be easily fooled by those who rent translation services at prices that are not in accordance with their abilities.

The first thing that must be seen by the tenant when choosing a personal translation service is qualified foreign language skills. This can be seen from his last diploma, good educational history (especially in the field of languages), as well as certificates and other achievements which show that the person is capable of being a good translator.

Even if many parties offer themselves to be translation services, it is better if the lessor chooses a translator who has more than three foreign language skills. Foreign languages that are often used today besides English are Mandarin, German, and Arabic.

Second, the tenant must at least have a basic knowledge of psychology to be able to know the personality of the translator service so that from this personality it can be ascertained that the translator will be a personal assistant who is honest, loyal, and does not take advantage of things that are not expected by the tenant.

Finally, the lessee must know the average minimum and maximum prices set by the agency that also rents out translator services. This serves to keep the tenants from taking the rent rates circulating in the community too far.

If these three things are already owned by the prospective translator, don't forget to keep making a contract agreement containing laws or certain requests and offers that have been agreed upon by both parties by using stamp duty as a legal marker that applies if a conflict arises at any time. between the two. Be kind to the translator used so that it makes it easier for the lessee to make another rental at another time and opportunity if you need translator services again.
