• Asset development : At Andovar we are firm believers in pre-project preparation. Being a top Global Translation Company, we focus on a number of key pre-flight services. First, we work on terminology preparation, then we move to multilingual style guide development and advocate the use of reference materials to ensure that we are following the desired tone of voice. These in our opinion are an essential aspect of professional Global Translation Services.
• Technology : Any professional Global Translation Company worth their salt should be using a number of key technologies. These technologies are not to be confused with machine translation (online free Google translate). Translation technologies such as Computer-Aided Translation (CAT) tools, Termbase and Translation Memory and QA tools work to ensure correct terminology use as well as enabling consistency throughout a translation and from one translation order to the next translation order. All of these technologies sit within our translation management system (Memsource).
• Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM) : Andovar offers premium Global Translation Services, including incorporating the most advanced localization QA methodology; MQM. MQM is an advanced QA framework for assessing translation. Different content types such as instruction manuals, legal documentation and marketing all have different elements which are most important; accuracy, fluency, locale, verity, and design. Therefore, we assign different weighting to those elements depending on the content type. A score is generated during language quality assurance and translations can then be determined to have passed or failed.
• Automated QA checks : As well as performing human QA, built into our workflows are automated QA checks. Advanced tools houses inside our TMS are able to detect aspects such as missing translation, truncation, grammar, spelling and inconsistency of translation. They also enable us to ensure conformance with terminology guides and glossaries.

• Experienced Resources : It's no surprise that professional translators who understand the subject-matter work faster. They also have a better working knowledge of key efficiency enhancing tools and technologies such as termbase, computer-adiedaided translation (CAT) tools and translation memory, meaning that they produce high-quality work that requires little in the way of updating after client review. Andovar prides itself in working with some of the best translators available. We have some of the highest Proz.com scores, indicating that our translators are satisfied with how we operate.
• Tools & Technology : Using cutting edge translation tools and technology (CAT tools, TermBase) housed in our state of the state-of-the-art translation management system, we leverage previous content, and capitalize on repeated
• Machine Translation : For certain types of projects, Machine Translation is a great option. Inside Andovar's TMS are a suite of machine translation solutions including a range of MT engines (Google Enterprise, Amazon AWS, DeepL and our high-end custom solution, Language Studio). Machine Translation when paired with human post-editing can help to produce hundreds of thousands of words/ week.
• Translation Management System : Our Translation Management System houses all the key technology and is the mothership of the project. TMS enables fast and efficient transfer of content in and out of content repositories, such as content management systems, channeling it directly to key project stakeholders, at language service provider end and client side.
• API & Connectors : For companies with websites that have regular content additions and updates, CMS, content repositories and such like, use of API and/ or connectors is a must. Andovar's TMS supports all major CMS including but not limited to SharePoint, WordPress, Magento, Shopify, Adobe Experience Manager, Sitecore, Episerver and TYP03.

• Translation : Pricing is by the word and dependent on language. Differences in price between languages is mostly determined by price of living in the respective country and volume of qualified translators. Simple supply and demand! Therefore, clients should expect to pay less for Chinese than for Norwegian. We also use tools to leverage previous content which we keep in translation databases called Translation Memories (TM) enabling us to offer more cost-effective pricing as the relationship develops along with your Translation Memories.
• Voiceover : Voiceover is priced in a number of ways, but typically by content minute (e.g., Length of media), or by custom quote with itemized hourly service breakdown (Voice talent, studio, script director, engineering and linguistic quality assurance). Pricing can vary depending on the use: Narration, dubbing, TV series, documentary or movie. Price also varies by language but also by the skill level and experience of the voice artist, or whether union talent is required. Additional buyout fees may occur for commercial voiceover.

• Although we reference a limited number of industries on our website, we have translators, editors, voice actors and Subject Matter Experts in most industries and sub-industries.

We enable clients with a wide range of high-end localization technology:

• TermBase : Translation termbase is a list of approved terms restricted to a specific subject matter paired with corresponding terms in the target language and guidelines on usage. The Termbase is a feature of our TMS.
• CAT Tools : Translation tools, also known as CAT (computer-aided translation), enhance the productivity and consistency of translators. They usually include several component technologies in a single integrated workbench, such as document editors, terminology management, and translation memory.
• Translation Memory : Translation memory is a database for storing translated content in aligned pairs of source and target language segments. It stores how a section of text, called a segment, was previously translated and then repurposes it when the same or similar segment is identified by the software. Translation memory matches are these repeating segments. Fuzzy matches are segments that are partially changed but identified by the software as similar to previously used segments. TM saves time by minimizing unnecessary typing and ensures better consistency for highly repetitive texts, such as technical manuals and software help files. This ultimately saves time and money.
• Machine Translation : Machine Translation (MT) is a technology that automatically translates text using termbases and advanced grammatical, syntactic and semantic analysis techniques. Ideal for high-volume projects, such as ecommerce, projects where translated content is needed rapidly, and when basic understanding of content is required, MT has made rapid advances in recent years. For commercial purpose, it is recommended to work with post-editors who can elevate the translation quality to that of professional human translation.
• TMS (Translation Management System) : Translation management systems or TMS as they are better known, help streamline the work of language teams by automating and tracking the entire translation process. TMS help handle the repetitive tasks of moving content in and out of content repositories, such as content management systems (CMS) or marketing automation systems, and channeling it directly to key project stakeholders, including the translation teams, engineers, reviewers and client.
• API : API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. Andovar has its own REST API which is used to connect client content repositories and CMS with our translation management system resulting in seamless automated workflows.
• Connectors : Andovar's translation management system has a range of connectors for popular CMS and repositories including: - Open-source CMS (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, TYPO3) - Enterprise CMS (Adobe Experience Manager, Sitecore, Marketo, HubSpot Magento, Salesforce Knowledge, Zendesk) - Version control systems (Git, Bitbucket) - Storage (Amazon S3, Dropbox, SharePoint)

We follow documented processes for all major project types for doc, web, multimedia, eLearning, games, software all set up inside our translation management system. While we generally select and follow default processes, we are also flexible enough to enable clients to reach their goals which can mean cutting steps or adding additional steps, using alternate technology, adding stakeholders into the process.
