1,000
words of your live content
What it is.
A free comparative LQA of up to 1,000 words of your live content in one of our languages. A native reviewer scores the text against an agreed error typology, so you can compare quality before you change anything.
Who it is for.
Enterprise localization teams that want to measure a specialist alongside their global vendor.
Many tech companies keep one global vendor for their largest markets and add a specialist for the languages that are hardest to staff well. The free LQA is a low-risk way to compare, on content you already publish.
LSPs evaluating El Turco as a vendor start with a free test translation of up to 300 words instead. See for LSPs.
How it works.
Four steps, from your content to a call about the findings.
You send the content
Up to 1,000 words already live in one of our languages, the target language and any style guide or glossary you use.
We agree the error typology
We agree the error typology with its severity scale. The review can follow your own error typology where you have one.
A native reviewer scores it
A native reviewer for the subject logs each issue with its category, severity, the original text and a suggested correction. Content is handled under NDA and ISO/IEC 27001.
You get a scorecard and a call
You receive a scorecard with errors by category and severity, then a call to go through the findings with you.
What you get.
Scored by error category and severity, as in our Turkish LQA and Arabic LQA services. Places are limited each month.
- A scorecard with errors by category and severity
- Each issue with the original text and a suggested correction
- A call to go through the findings
What it is not.
- Not a sales audit of a competitor. The LQA measures your content on an agreed scale.
- No criticism of anyone's live localization. The scorecard logs issues in your content; it does not rate a vendor.
- Not a way around your LSP. It is a way to measure a specialist alongside your global vendor.
FAQ
Questions about the free LQA.
What does the free LQA cost?
Nothing for up to 1,000 words of your live content in one of our languages. If you then bring El Turco in for a language, the work is priced the usual way. Per-word, hourly or project-based pricing, quoted after scoping.
How long does the free LQA take?
Turnaround is agreed at scoping, with a 24-hour option for small urgent updates. The project manager confirms the delivery date before the review starts.
Which content can we send?
Up to 1,000 words of content that is already live in one of our languages: for example website pages, help center articles, app strings or product listings. Send the target language and any style guide or glossary you use.
Which error typology is used?
The reviewer scores against an agreed error typology with a severity scale. The review can follow your own error typology where you have one, so the scorecard sits next to the reports you already use.
Is the free LQA open to LSPs?
The free comparative LQA is for enterprises with live content. LSPs evaluating El Turco as a vendor start with a free test translation of up to 300 words, which their own reviewers assess against their quality criteria.
