QUALITY & ISO

Quality built into every multilingual workflow

CauLingo combines defined project processes, suitable linguistic resources, revision, terminology management and quality control with internationally recognized ISO standards.

The exact workflow depends on the service, content and project requirements.

CERTIFIED QUALITY SYSTEMS

Standards that support how we work

ISO 17100

Translation-services workflow, competence, project-management and revision requirements where applicable.

Quality-management framework, defined processes, monitoring and continual improvement.

ISO 18587

Post-editing framework when MTPE is used.

WORKFLOW

Quality is a process, not a final check

Depending on the project, these controls are combined according to the work required.

  1. 01Requirements and scope
  2. 02Resource selection
  3. 03Terminology preparation
  4. 04Translation / localization
  5. 05Revision and QA
  6. 06Delivery and feedback

PEOPLE & RESOURCES

The right resources for the right content

Language competence, subject-area suitability, project-specific assignment, revision roles where appropriate and project management all contribute to a suitable workflow.

  • Language competence
  • Content suitability
  • Project-specific assignment
  • Revision and project management where applicable

TERMINOLOGY

Consistency across projects and languages

Project terminology, translation memories, client terminology where available, revision and consistency checks support controlled reuse of approved wording.

  • Controlled reuse

WORKFLOW CHOICE

Different content requires different workflows

Human translation workflow

Human translation and revision workflows are selected when they suit the content and project requirements.

Machine Translation Post-Editing

Machine translation is not automatically appropriate for every project. Where it is used, human post-editing remains part of the workflow and ISO 18587 provides a specific framework.

QUALITY CONTROL

Checks throughout the project

Controls can include the elements below, applied according to the work required.

  • Terminology
  • Completeness
  • Linguistic review
  • Consistency
  • Formatting
  • Project instructions
  • Final delivery review

SPECIALIST CONTENT

Quality controls applied in context

CLEAR BOUNDARIES

What ISO certification does — and does not — mean

ISO certification supports defined quality and process frameworks. It does not itself represent regulatory or medical approval, legal validation of every document, guaranteed zero-error output, or automatic compliance with every client industry requirement.
