How we approach challenging financial translation projects with ‘impossible’ deadlines
When an urgent project requires the delivery of more than 2,500 words a day, which is the typical expected daily output of a single translator, or translation into more than one language, our project management team has to engage several translators and verifiers working in parallel. The challenge is to guarantee timely delivery while ensuring that the terminology and translation quality is consistent. This involves having the capabilities to handle complex document formatting requirements, expert project managers, and IT solutions that facilitate the process.
Security and confidentiality
Appreciating the sensitivity of the content entrusted to us, we sign confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements before receiving assignments. Additionally, all Lacrosse employees and contractors are required to sign similar undertakings. Most importantly, our IT system ensures the highest level of security against data loss or theft.
