The services provided by translation agencies are vast. They can range from a simple document translation to project management. The first thing you will need to ask yourself before interviewing a translation services agency is what type of document do you need translated. Is it a marketing document, a press release, or a presentation? In what area of the market does the document fall into? The types of service will vary greatly depending upon what you actually need done.

The types of services where translation is provided are numerous.
Translation services can include such categories as:
Document translation
Proofreading Services
Technical Writing
Transcription
Desktop Publishing
Website Translation services
Interpreting Services
Copywriting Services
Software Translation services
Voice-over Service
Project Management
Staffing Service
As we get deeper into what is actually needed we must narrow down the exact sector of translation. Areas of translation services can include technology, automotive, food and agriculture, personal documents, law, engineering, banking, medical, advertising, etc. Document translation can include personal correspondence, resume translation, marriage certificates, birth certificates, divorce decrees or even employment forms.
When it comes to website translation it has been said that people are three times more likely to buy from a website that communicates in their own language. So communicating with them in their native language really helps to affect the proper target audience. They are also more likely to return to the website for future transactions. This can be a key element in the success of an online business, must be done well, and having the website translated professionally can make a significant difference over trying to do it yourself.
Desktop publishing is quite different when it comes to translation services. The impact on the look and feel of the presentation is significant when it's translated. The fonts will most likely be affected due to the translation, which could make the text area larger. If this happens, the individual slides will need to be adjusted. The font size may need to be reduced, so that the layout is still visibly appealing. German and Russian words are much longer with more characters and Hebrew is written from right to left, so the graphics will have to be rearranged.
For technical and financial documents which contain numbers and calculations, it is essential that the translators understand and have first-hand knowledge in the applicable field to translate properly. The translation of these documents must be perfect. Proofreading, checking and double checking is necessary to make sure nothing is missing and all of the numbers are correct. This is better left up to translation services that hire translators within a specific field. They can be tested by the agency to make sure their skills are top notch.
Among all the language and services, it is important to find an experienced person with a particular specialization, depending upon your needs. This helps make the project a success and makes the process as stress free as possible.
