Certified Translation and Localization Services

Our ISO Standards

In the translation/localization industry, even the smallest or the seemingly most insignificant error can cost time and money, ultimately affecting the success of your projects and business.

At bayantech, we abide by the ISO 9001:2015 and 17100:2015 certification standards, guaranteeing impeccable translation/localization services and providing our clients with an unwavering dedication to achieving the highest quality standards they can rely on.

We have also developed a unique QA model that can be adjusted to the unique specifications and requirements of each of our clients. The robust QA system aims to sweep away all errors.

We also apply a comprehensive quality checklist, checking each product/service for linguistic, cultural, functional, and stylistic accuracy. Here are a few examples of our QA metrics.

bayantech Vendor Selection

Our vendor selection process is not merely about choosing from among a thousand translators listed in various databases; it involves a strict adherence to bayantech’s global strategy, the anticipation of future needs, and defining business areas and subject matters.

We choose linguists who don’t not only have the technical knowledge required but also the passion for crossing linguistic and cultural bridges and the unique talent of changing a text’s language while keeping both meaning and fluency intact.

We accept no compromises to our strict selection criteria:

All our linguists are native speakers of the target language, ensuring complete adaptation to the target audience’s cultural norms and preferences.
Each project is assigned to a native-speaking linguist with subject-matter expertise, guaranteeing a firm understanding of the target industry terminology.
All our linguists are experienced and certified.
A minimum of 3 valid clients’ references are required.
All linguists are familiar with translation tools and the various file formats to be handled.
Accepted linguists pass a series of recruitment procedures and interviews that check not only for technical knowledge but also the candidate’s reactivity, perceptiveness, professional attitude, and problem-solving skills.
We implement the 5-project trial period, where each linguist has to successfully complete 5 projects to be finally approved. During this probation period, each step of the linguist’s work is carefully scrutinized.

Our linguists are regularly evaluated in terms of linguistic or functional quality as well as service quality, including responsiveness, troubleshooting capabilities, communication skills, professional attitude, and adherence to deadlines. Based on our continuous quality assessment and our clients’ feedback, we provide the appropriate training and guidance, making sure all linguists are aligned with the industry’s highest standards.
