ISO 17100 & ISO 18587
Translation quality built on international standards
Our group’s translation company works to ISO 17100 (translation services) and ISO 18587 (machine-translation post-editing). That means an established process, qualified linguists, and mandatory quality control on every project.
ISO 17100 — translation services
ISO 17100 translation process
The workflow follows ISO 17100: selecting and vetting linguists, and managing terminology and quality at every stage of the project.
Qualified linguists
Only translators with relevant education and proven experience are assigned to projects — in line with the ISO 17100 qualification requirements.
Mandatory revision
Every translation is revised by a second qualified linguist, as ISO 17100 requires — ensuring accuracy, consistency and fitness for purpose.
Project management
The ISO 17100 process covers documentation, resource assignment, terminology management and continuous quality control throughout the project.
ISO 18587 — machine-translation post-editing
Controlled post-editing
ISO 18587 sets the rules for human oversight of machine translation: a linguist, not the algorithm, ensures terminology accuracy and contextual fit.
Clear quality criteria
We assess post-editing results against ISO 18587 criteria — consistently and predictably, not by guesswork.
Trained post-editors
Our linguists apply ISO 18587 post-editing methods, bringing machine output to the required level of accuracy and fluency without losing speed.
Technology in service of quality
In the spirit of ISO 18587 we combine translation memory, termbases and our own TilBridge TMS — more throughput without sacrificing quality.
