Translation Process Assessment
How efficient—and compliant—are your translation workflows? At LWT Communications, we provide translation process assessments that analyse, benchmark, and optimise your multilingual content operations.
Our experts evaluate how language assets, human resources, and tools interact across your current workflows. Whether you use in-house teams, multiple vendors, or rely on your CMS or TMS (like Plunet), we offer practical insight to help you scale and improve.
What We Assess
- Translation and revision workflow structures
- Resource allocation and linguist/vendor management
- Plunet, CAT tool, or CMS process efficiency
- QA and ISO 9001 and 17100 alignment
- Terminology, glossary, and TM maintenance
- Review loops and content handoffs
- File handling, automation, and turnaround times
We map current workflows and identify actionable improvements.
