Looking for a dynamic translation agency with unrivalled experience?
A language partner who can get you out of a tough spot?
Here are 4 essential qualities to look for!
Imagine, if you will…
Your company has made a name for itself locally. The end-of-year results are in: your team far exceeded its objectives. Your boss is over the moon. He even comes by to thank you personally…
…and immediately throws you a new challenge: to go forth and conquer a new international market. Of course, you accept the project. For many months, your entire team works flat-out to be ready for launch day.
A few days before the deadline, disaster strikes: the translation agency that you chose to work with announces that it will not be able to deliver the translations in time.
Fortunately, there’s no lack of resources in your team, and you manage to find a solution. Unfortunately, when you finally receive the translations, you realise that they’re pretty poor quality.
Time is running out. Your boss expects you to make a decision…and you’ll be held accountable.
Thanks to this translation agency, months of effort could be circling the drain.
You’re angry, but the damage is done. You have to make a choice. What do you do?
🚀 You launch your products in the new market anyway. You know that it’s a risk – but your team has worked too hard to give up so close to the end. You just hope that the poor quality of the translations doesn’t reflect badly on the company.
⏰ You delay the launch date. You’ll have the time to get a more experienced and reliable agency to translate the texts. The problem is, this will be costly for the company. Not to mention the fact that your boss will hold you personally responsible…
What if you never had to make such a tough call?
After all, you did good work, and you expect your translation agency to do the same.
How do you avoid unpleasant surprises like this? Read on to find out!
But first, what if we told you that delays and bad translations are not the only things you need to worry about when you work with translators? Of course, they are the two factors that pose the highest risk to your company’s wallet, but…
BEWARE:
A lack of responsiveness or flexibility may also derail your projects!
It’s true: just one late reply and your urgent translation now can’t be delivered until the next day. Or, you ask for a text to be translated into Dutch and you receive one in Flemish instead…
There are more pitfalls than you might think, so be sure to choose your language services provider wisely!
HOW?
By ensuring that they possess the four qualities below:
THE 4 KEY SIGNS OF A GOOD PARTNER
Expertise
Do you know your field of work inside out? Your translator should, too.
To produce a good translation, it’s not enough to simply know the two languages. The person translating your documents should:
✔ Be familiar with complex sector-specific terms
✔ Know about its concepts in minute detail
✔ Perfectly understand your texts
It is for this reason that most translators tend to specialise in a maximum or two or three areas. This gives them a chance to gain a deep understanding of a subject and keep their knowledge up to date.
By choosing a translator who specialises in your field, you boost your chances of receiving high-quality translations!
Punctuality
Punctuality is not a quality unique to translation – it’s a vital trait in many sectors. To be able to deliver their translations in good time, a translator needs to possess other skills, such as:
✔ The ability to manage several translation projects at the same time
✔ The ability to estimate the time they need for each stage of their project
✔ The ability to anticipate and account for any unexpected setbacks
To considerably reduce the risks of a late delivery, choose an organised translator who thinks ahead!
Responsiveness
Got an urgent text to translate? A last-minute change of plans in your project? You would hope that your translation partner is available, proactive and ready to adapt. You can recognise a good agency by its:
✔ Fact and effective communication
✔ Modern management tools
✔ Attentive and accommodating team
The more responsive a team is, the more chance you have to get exactly the results you wanted!
Flexibility
Do you have specific requirements, such as needing to have a document translated into an uncommon language, or needing a translation to be completed by a sworn translator? Not all projects are alike, and the same goes for agencies. It makes sense that you’d want to find an agency that offers tailored services, such as:
✔ Accommodating large volumes of text
✔ Multilingual projects
✔ Other language-related projects (copywriting, interpreting)
When you contact the sales team of a translation agency, be sure to describe your project in detail, so you can be sure that they can meet your requirements!

Still have questions? We hope you’ll find the answer below.
- What languages can my text be translated into?
The Right Ink translators translate into French from a number of languages, including English, Dutch, Spanish, German, Russian and Swedish – as well as from French or English into Dutch.
Need a translation into another language? All you have to do is ask! Right Ink works in close collaboration with a large pool of trusted freelance translators from all corners of the globe, so we are sure to find the right specialist for your project.
- What are your areas of specialisation?
From technology to human resources, medicine to law, and even fashion, we are truly a multi-talented agency.
But our translators are far from being generalists: they specialise in a maximum of two or three fields so that they can be thoroughly familiar with their topics. What’s more, they have a perfect command of their native language.
Your translations will have never looked so good.
- How long will my translation take?
It depends on when you need the translation! In three days’ time? Two days? The same day?
Although, from a practical standpoint, we need to take certain criteria into account (the length of the text, its complexity, etc.) we are committed to customer satisfaction and will do everything possible to complete your translations within your desired time frame.
Keep in mind that we do not compromise on the quality of our work, and we could not commit to a deadline that would not allow us to attain that level of quality.
- Do you use automatic translation tools?
Yes, but only when they are beneficial and only under certain conditions.
Automatic translation tools have made real progress in recent years, and are well on their way to becoming an effective translation support tool. However, using them can prove risky if they are not properly managed.
Warning! Using automatic translation software is NOT the same as a translator doing the work – it is a tool, and tools cannot work on their own.
The text produced by the software is always edited by a real, flesh-and-blood translator, which enables us to guarantee the same level of quality than if it had been fully translated by a human.
You won’t even notice that a machine was involved!
Therefore, you benefit from the same results, with a faster turnaround time, and at a great price too. It’s a win-win situation!
- Do you translate into French (France) or French (Belgium)?
Again, it depends on what you need! As Right Ink is located in Mons, Belgium, we offer both variants.
For example, if your documents will be read by French people, we would entrust the project to a native French speaker. On the other hand, if your audience is in the French-speaking part of Belgium, a Belgian translator would be appointed to take care of your translations.
Plus, did you know that we also have an office in Quebec? If you’re thinking about exporting to Canada, we can also help you with your translation needs.
The same goes for Flemish and Dutch – Right Ink has branches in Flanders and the Netherlands, to provide you with the best possible service.
You can rest assured that your translation will match up perfectly to the audience that will read it.
- Do you offer any other types of language services?
Absolutely! In addition to translation, we also offer editing, proofreading, transcreation, writing, copywriting, interpreting, and more.
If your project involves language, there’s a strong likelihood that we have the solution you need. So, don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your project and discover the range of solutions available to you!
