Ideal Translation Agency
In the ideal translation world everyone is happy and organized. Translation businesses fill all the positions in the Fortune Magazine's Top 100 Employers to work for. Translation agencies are no-stress-all-fun environments. How it is possible
Every translation agency provides single language pair. E.g., English->Spanish. No need to add other source or target languages. There is too much income from the main language pair, translation agency is always busy!
Every translation agency has single big translation client. The translation client keeps big staff of internal project managers who do all the work for managing translations into multiple languages. Translation jobs come in one steady flow, no peaks, and no quiet periods. Translation client can always postpone release of new product in the other language. Translation instructions are outstandingly clear and straightforward. The client sends 1 project at a time to project manager, in a simple single document. No tags, no lengthy instructions.
Translation agency employs 2 translators: 1 in-house translator and 1 freelance translator. They translate all the jobs. They translate them with top quality. No late deliveries, no redeliveries, no proofreading necessary. No need for language quality assurance or translation quality checks. No updates, no corrections.
Every translation agency has single project manager who serves as one man show. The superb translation project manager works with single client. He or she issues invoices to translation client and receives all payments in time. The project manager issues POs to freelancers and pays them in time. He is always healthy and happy and always can take more and more jobs. The translation agency has no growth limits.
Reality
The reality is totally different. Translation businesses much differ from most other professional services businesses. The process of translation is very time, knowledge, and effort-intensive. The complexity of the translation agency grows with each additional language pair, or extra service (like DTP or cultural assessment, or language quality assurance). Moreover, it grows with the number of freelance translators employed. It grows with the number of in-house translators employed. And while translation project managers do help to make sense out of multiple clients, multiple projects, and multiple translators… each additional project manager also adds complexity to the overall system.
Solution?

The solution is not software. The solution is translation management workflow around which the translation agency is organized. It should be uniform, well-documented and targeted to serve both interests of your translation clients and your translation agency. Only after you have an idea of what your particular translation management workflow will look like, you may start looking for translation management system…
