Frequently asked questions
A good translation is not just a direct word-for-word translation, but should be a collaboration between the translator and the author so that the author’s style is preserved and cultural nuances are refined to appeal to the new market.
Here’s a list of considerations to keep in mind, as well as some pitfalls to avoid:
Preserve literary quality and style–The translator should maintain the book’s voice, tone, and essence.
Cultural and contextual accuracy–Adapt idioms, humor, and references for the target audience.
Consistency across the text–Use a style guide and glossary for uniformity in terminology and character names.
Experienced translators–Choose a company with expertise in literary translation and native-speaking translators. Languex ensures this is the case with all book translations.
Editing and proofreading–Ensure a second professional reviews the translation for errors and fluency, and ideally at least three sets of eyes review in addition to the author. This is the case for our enterprise plan book translations.
Realistic timelines and workflow–Set clear milestones and allow time for revisions. It’s best to step through multiple rounds of translation and review for each language translation.
Legal rights and ownership–Clarify intellectual property, royalties, and confidentiality in the contract. We can support additional contract needs in our Enterprise plans.
Pitfalls to Avoid:
Choosing the cheapest option–Low-cost translations often compromise quality. Languex is committed to being a translation solution where you never have to compromise on quality, speed, or affordability.
Over-relying on machine translation–AI lacks human nuance and storytelling depth.
Ignoring cultural sensitivity–Poor localization can feel unnatural.
Lack of communication–Stay involved to ensure accurate representation.
Skipping post-translation review–A native-speaking proofreader is essential.
Languex also provides unlimited free revisions for 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
