CRNST Quality Management Process ā€“ 3 Step Quality Control

Ask Yourself

Have you ever noticed on some translation service websites that the language may seem strange, or the expressions used by the person responding to your translation enquiry doesnā€™t seem familiar to you as a natural English speaker? You need to ask yourself then, what kind of quality can you expect in your paid translation if the same language isnā€™t even used correctly by those offering the service? This should be of considerable concern to you.

Cornerstones Quality Management

At Cornerstones Translation, our professional translators will only ever translate into their mother tongues to ensure absolute precision and accuracy. But make no mistake, by no means do we concede that Cornerstones Translators lack confidence in their second language, quite the contrary. For each completed translation, we employ one of our translatorsā€™ applicable second-language skill to screen for any possible nuances of expression that may seem unusual and require re-examination. This forms part of the Cornerstones Quality Management process, which ensures that your translated work is as accurate and as stylistically amazing ā€“ depending on the type of service you require ā€“ as youā€™d expect it to be.
