There are a number of possibilities that will allow a company to apply a discount to its legal translation services. One of the most profitable ways for a company to apply discounts to its legal translation services is through the use of assisted translation tools.
In order to determine the total time needed to complete a translation job, a legal translation agency needs manage the volume of its work properly. Normally, the number of words that needs to be translated will determine the total amount of time that is needed to translate the document. With legal translations, it becomes a bit more complicated in that legal translations need more time in order to produce accurate translated documents.
There are four main types of words that each legal document that needs to be translated will consist of. New words are words that have never been translated before. Fuzzy words are words that have already been translated. Full words are repetitive words that have been translated many times before. Repetition words are words that are repeated in the legal document.
Using translation tools to assist with a legal translation will reduce the effort and time that is needed to complete a legal translation. This will make it possible for a legal translation agency to offer a discount for its legal translation services. Translation tools have translation memory which makes a note of new, fuzzy, full and repetitive words. This makes it faster for the document to be translated.
By keeping fuzzy, full and repetitive words in its translation memory, translation tools reduce the overall time needed to complete a legal translation. This makes it possible for a reduction in the cost of the translation which allows the company to offer a discount.
Many companies that work with translation tools can offer different percentages of discount based on each word type. For example, they can offer a discount of 25% on new words and 50% on repetitions or full words. The fact is that in order for any company to offer a discount on its legal translation services, it needs to find ways of getting the translation jobs done faster, easier, and more efficient. The more discount it can offer to the client, the more work it is likely to receive.
