This is particularly significant for translation services when you will need to consider whether they are having a dedicated team of professionals or they work through freelancers. If they rely on freelancers you need to be comfortable with who they are and how the partnership will work and how this company is ranked and rated among the translators.

This means a third party audit has been conducted on the service provider. 5. Asking for translation samples
