Revised automatic translation
Machine translation tries to imitate the human communication process, but is unable to analyse and understand fully the depth of our thinking.
Machine translation (MT) must therefore be edited and revised by expert translators and editors to avoid the serious inaccuracies and errors that are typical of MT.

Our translation process
With offices and branches spanning Europe and South America, our translation network is extensive and efficient. In-house translators collaborate closely with project managers at our language centres. Additionally, a team of expert freelance translators supports us in managing peak workloads that exceed our internal capacity.
Each client is assigned a dedicated Project Manager (PM) with subject matter expertise, who is responsible for:
- providing technical and linguistic support;
- managing translation projects by coordinating technical and linguistic resources;
- receiving feedback and optimising the service.
Expert advice
Our Project Managers support clients throughout the entire process, providing expert advice on choice of register and terminology, localisation, page layout, graphics, format, as well as the subsequent processing and printing of the document.
Translation
The Project Manager assigns your project to an in-house native translator with subject-specific qualifications and professional experience. We ensure continuity by having multiple translators available, so replacements can be made promptly if needed. Clients may also ask to contact the translator directly if they wish to discuss particular topics during the project.
Expert translators
Native speakers: in order to ensure the highest quality translations, we employ native translators with proven expertise, using trusted in-house and freelance experts all over the world. Experts: we employ translators who are experts in translation techniques and specific subjects, ensuring appropriate style and use of terminology. Proven quality: we employ translators who meet the following requirements:
- hold a degree/diploma in Languages, Translation, Interpreting and/or in the subject related to the required translation;
- at least 3 years’ experience;
- proven quality, verified through admission tests and on-going assessments throughout their tenure at SMG Language. Each translation is reviewed and assessed by a second translator (reviser) before it is delivered to the client.
Training and awareness
The PM analyses the text and provides translators with reference materials and a style guide that includes context, register, purpose of the document and various details on specific terminology. We also arrange meetings with clients to outline requirements and provide clear instructions. In order to produce accurate translations, our PMs (and translators) liaise with the author of the text to resolve any issues that may arise during the translation process.
Guaranteed terminology
Our translators consult official terminology databases and industry publications to create a customised glossary, ensuring consistent terminology across all current and future client projects. This approach guarantees accurate and tailored translations supported by empirical data.
Our PMs gather reference materials provided by the client and our Internal IT System and distributes it to the translators and revisers involved in the project. Throughout each assignment, the translation team collaboratively develops and updates glossaries. Our terminology research follows the Terminological Research Protocol presented at our conferences in Brescia (2010) and Gardone Riviera (2012). To streamline our processes, we harness translation memories and CAT tools (such as Across, Trados, etc.), to efficiently retrieve repetitions and closely matching texts from previous translations, delivering substantial time and cost savings for our clients.
Revision
Our clients receive meticulously refined translations, reviewed by one of our expert revisers and certified to ISO 17100 and UNI EN 15038 standards.
Each translation undergoes thorough scrutiny (in accordance with UNI EN 15 038), where a second translator compares it to the source text. If further improvements in syntax, lexicon or style are needed, the translation undergoes further revision in ‘review’ mode for additional proofreading.
SMG Languages are assessed for every job they deliver based on specific criteria, including: comprehension, syntax, lexicon, formatting, general knowledge, cultural alignment with the target audience, punctuality and professional ethics. These continuously updated assessments of our translators enable the PMs to select the most suitable individuals for each assignment and determine the required level of revision. Upon receiving the revised translation, the PM:
- reviews the changes made by revisers and sends any feedback to the translator;
- communicates with the client to resolve any outstanding issues;
- sends the final translation along with any notes to the client.

Graphic adjustments tailored for foreign audiences, hyperlinks, multimedia processing and a range of other specialised services enhance the effectiveness of our translations as a powerful communication tool.
