Choosing Our Linguists: A Detailed Approach
At NN Translations, selecting the right linguists is crucial to our commitment to delivering unparalleled linguistic validation and translation services.
Each linguist in our network is a native speaker of the target language, equipped with advanced degrees in linguistics or translation from esteemed institutions, ensuring a solid academic foundation. Beyond verifying academic credentials and significant translation experience, we conduct rigorous testing on approved applicants to assess their translation skills and proficiency, ensuring they meet our high standards for language accuracy and industry expertise.
For linguistic validation in life sciences, we work with specialised in-country linguistic validation consultants who bring essential cultural insight and clinical trial knowledge. These consultants are responsible for overseeing reconciliation, back translation review, conducting cognitive debriefing interviews with native-speaking patients and clinicians, and ensuring conceptual equivalency and cultural appropriateness of the materials.
We prioritize linguists with expertise in key sectors such as life sciences, where a specialized understanding of terminology, COA instruments, and regulatory frameworks is critical. Additionally, we look for translators and validation consultants who are active members of reputable linguistic and translation associations, underscoring their commitment to ongoing professional development and adherence to ethical best practices. We regularly monitor their work to ensure it consistently meets our high standards.
