Achieving excellence through continuous improvement

Translation quality relies on skilled translators, effective project management, and a proven process.

SimulTrans focuses on continuous improvement in these three areas. In doing so, we’ve become the trusted translation partner of some of the world’s leading companies, achieved consistently high customer satisfaction scores (97.1% in 2021), and have remained a leader in the industry since 1984.

We work with many translation services because of contractual agreements with our clients. When we get to choose the translation vendor, we always choose SimulTrans because of the quality of the work and the project management.

ISO 9001 Certification

As the world's most recognized quality management standard, ISO 9001 certification ensures we have a well-documented process, follow it consistently, and strive to continuously improve.

One element of this process is the SimulTrans Quality database, an automated system that helps our team monitor, index, and respond to quality issues in an effective and timely manner while seeking opportunities for process improvement.

iso-17100

ISO 17100 Certification

ISO 17100 is a quality management standard specifically for the translation industry. It aims to standardize terminology, define basic requirements for services, and create a framework for interaction between customers and service providers.

Some of the standards that SimulTrans uses to evaluate translators' performance are dictated by the rigorous ISO 17100 requirements.

iso-18587

ISO 18587 Certification

Machine translation is a useful tool, but outputs must be reviewed by professional editors to ensure quality. ISO 18587 details requirements for human post-editing of machine translations.

Through this certification, SimulTrans pledges our commitment and demonstrates our ability to adhere to these proven best practices. This aligns with our ongoing efforts to embrace innovations and implement them at the highest possible standard.
