HOW WE WORK
* Selection & Training of Resources
Starting with recruitment, we have created proprietary testing designed to assess applicants’ language aptitude as well as subject-matterexpertise, setting the bar high from day one. Throughout their time here, all team members are subject to a customized, in-house trainingprogram, developed and run by senior staff and designed to facilitate knowledge-sharing related to best practices, industry trends andadvances in tools and technology. Rigorous recruiting practices, combined with ongoing training and development, result in the highest level of quality and client care.
* Standard Operating Procedures
Every certified translation is prepared using a time-tested and steadfastly-implemented process, performed by a minimum of threeprofessional linguists per project, per language:
Translation: After consultation with our Project Manager regarding detailed instructions, schedule and tools to be used (such as Translation Memory databases and/or review of legacy information describing client-specific products and services,) a professional linguist with relevant account experience and subject-matter expertise will be selected from our worldwide network to complete the translation.
Editing: A second subject-matter expert then compares the source text against the translation on a line-by-line basis to ensure that the intended meaning of the source copy has been correctly conveyed, and that the style and tone are appropriate, while also checking thatclient glossaries, Translation Memory databases and other reference materials have been correctly applied.
Proofreading: As a final check for accuracy and completeness, a linguist fluent in both languages implements our Proofreading Checklist, which entails ensuring that all text has been translated, that all formatting and punctuation is correct, that spelling, grammar, names and numbers are accurate, and that there are no other objective or cosmetic errors or omissions.
In order to continuously produce the highest quality of work, and to support this process, Burboff has established a comprehensive set of Standard Operating Procedures.

FROM OUR CLIENTS
FRyan Penner
We were extremely impressed by the ability to deliver each milestone on or before the dates. And the quality was superb. Overall, we were very impressed and happy to work with Burboff.
Amy Clayton
It’s a challenge to find true experts in Japanese>English chemical translations who can handle such a large scope in a limited time. But Burboff finished the project on time with top quality. Thank you!
Martina Saiz
When we contacted Burboff to request information, the response was very professional and without requesting the CVs, Burboff provided a few CVs, which displayed true competency and transparency. Due to the large volume, our budget was below average, but Burboff worked with us to find a budget that made sense for us both.

Julia B. Mcraflane
When I saw the quality of the translated batches, I realised that there was little for me to change. Also, I cannot think of any area where the service was lacking. Great job, team!
