Quality management and references
ISO 9001:2015 quality management. Use the confirmed scope, terminology, references and answers to source questions as shared working references.
Explore this topicMake quality requirements verifiable
Procurement, legal, technical and publishing coordinators can assess project quality through review references, query handling and acceptance records. Credentials associated with the SENIOR TRANS framework should be checked against the holder, scope and validity information on the relevant certificate. A brand relationship does not automatically give LinkTrans the same certification status or replace project-specific agreements.
Identify facts that must remain unchanged
Provide the approved source, established name spellings, terminology references and applicable internal writing guidance. Identify critical content such as contractual obligations, product warnings, accounting definitions or personal relationships. Review should consider negation, conditions, units, table headings and cross-references as well as readability. Where a previous translation conflicts with the current source, establish which reference takes precedence rather than copying the older wording simply because it has been used before.
Separate language issues from subject decisions
Calculation discrepancies, conflicts between text and diagrams and ambiguous terms should be recorded in a query list with their locations and the decisions needed. Language professionals can explain alternative interpretations, while product specifications, business facts and specialist conclusions require confirmation by the customer's designated reviewer. Agree how unanswered questions will be marked and whether affected passages should be held. Once a response is received, related occurrences should also be checked.
Review the output in its intended setting
Source-to-target revision and layout checks are different tasks. Documents may need page, table-column and footnote checks; interfaces need action and truncation checks; subtitles need speaker and timing checks. Supply the styles, screenshots or test environment needed for acceptance and define the customer's subject-review role. Handover records should identify what was checked, the relevant version and any unresolved questions so the recipient can assess readiness for the next stage.
Translation and review
ISO 17100:2015 translation services. Define responsibility and scope for translation, revision, subject review and delivery checks for the actual project.

Can procurement documents describe SENIOR TRANS credentials as LinkTrans credentials?
First verify the certificate holder and scope, then confirm the exact names to use in contracts, quotations and procurement records. When describing the SENIOR TRANS framework, retain the entity relationship rather than replacing the certificate holder with a brand name. Specify the verification purpose and documents needed when requesting credential information.
What should we specify if we already have a subject reviewer?
Define the reviewer's subject responsibility, terminology references and method for consolidating comments. Identify content that requires their approval before finalisation. Comments should include source locations and reasons, distinguishing factual corrections, terminology preferences and stylistic changes so they can be applied consistently.
