Amongst executives 'of a certain age', the very mention of 'Quality' is enough to bring back dreadful memories of Quality Circles and Total Quality Management (TQM) initiatives - Nausea, vomiting & panic attacks often follow.
Why? Because many attempts to improve quality were a complete and utter waste of time; hours wasted in endless, excruciatingly dull meetings looking for the Emperor's new clothes.
Towards the end of the last century, badges of honour in the form of ISO(this) or BS(that) were won and proudly paraded. Consultants got rich, Managers got promoted but often all the awards proved was that the company produced CONSISTENT results, not HIGH QUALITY work.
The good news is that there is now a new and meaningful translation quality standard. But why does it matter?

WHY TRANSLATION QUALITY STANDARDS REALLY MATTER
FACT: A poor quality translation reads like it's been written by a 10-year-old and instantly destroys your credibility.
Tens of thousands of pounds spent on an international marketing campaign, a new website or brochure can be completely wasted if your translation is bad. You wouldn't let a child represent you in front of your best customer so why risk letting one write to them? |

Quality translations really do matter |
