16. OUR CLIENTS: WHAT THEY HAVE TAUGHT US
Assisting large and small clients with different
cultures, problems and objectives teaches
us to listen, analyse and love even the finest
details, in the same way as an architect who
believes in the essence of beauty, function
and quality. The key to our success lies in our
refusal to take anything for granted and our
desire to constantly increase our understan-
ding of the developments in the world, society
and the economy. Thus the presence of our
offices around the world helps us to com-
prehend the local markets from the inside.
Such an environment nurtures our passion for
innovation and the customization of services
which proves incredibly useful for both large
and small companies worldwide, seeking to
meet today’s challenges in an increasingly
globalised world.

ce and reliability, always ensuring the high level of confidentiality
required.”
“With consignments of over 100 pages in 24 hours, we really ap-
preciate the quality of the translations and the invaluable care
they take over each service.” The SMG Languages offices situa-
ted all over the world operate as one single body, both coordinated
and responsive.”
“We would like to express our utmost appreciation for the inter-
preting services provided with professionalism and competence.”

TESTIMONIALS
18. 1. Basic Structure
We have a string of offices and subsidiary com-
panies in Europe and America. In-house tran-
slators work in our language centres alongside
project managers who organise their work. A
network of qualified freelance translators allows
us to cope with peak workloads which cannot
be handled internally. Quality is ISO 9001/08,
UNI 10 574 and UNI 15 038 certified. We also
make use of our Language Research Institute
(CRL) which studies linguistic developments in
the sectors in which we operate.
2. Project Management
The specific nature of the subjects translated has
led to the structuring and certification of four in-
ternal Language Departments, each of which
operates exclusively in a specific field and par-
ticipates regularly in research programmes and
updates:
• Legal and Financial Translation Dept.
• Technical Translation Dept.
• Medical Translation Dept.
• Cultural Translation Dept.
The client can rely on the assistance of a Project
Manager (PM) from the Department, with ex-
pertise in the field, who is responsible for:
• providing technical and linguistic advice;
• managing translation projects by coordina-
ting technical and linguistic resources;
• receiving feedback and optimising the service.
3. High profile translators
Native speakers
In order to produce high-level translations, we
employ native speaker staff with proven ex-
pertise, favouring those who live in their native
country.
Specialists
We employ staff who are experts in translation
techniques and specific subjects: this ensures
appropriate style and use of terminology.
Quality proven over time
We employ translators who meet the following
requirements:
• degree/diploma in Languages, Translation,
Interpreting and/or in the subject related to
the required translation.
• At least 3 years’ experience.
• An adequate level of quality, ascertained
through admission tests and confirmed over
the course of the collaboration with SMG Lan-
guages. In fact, each translation is corrected
and assessed by a second translator revisor
before it is delivered to the client.
4. Training and awareness
The PM analyses the text for translation and
provides the staff involved with any reference
material, as well as a style guide containing in-
dications on the context, register, purpose of
the document and on various terminological
aspects.
We are available to organise briefing and trai-
ning meetings with clients in order to under-
stand their requirements and thus operate as
though we were their own internal language
department.
In order to produce an accurate translation,
our staff liaise with the author of the text: this
constructive dialogue allows the client to ask
for any impressions or clarifications on the same
translation.
5. Reference Terminology
The PM collects the reference material provi-
ded by the client and from our Internal IT Sy-
stem and distributes it to the translators and re-
visors involved in the project.
The linguistic staff create glossaries for each
client and update them before, during and at
the end of the project.
Terminology research is carried out in com-
pliance with the Terminological Research Pro-
tocol presented at our conferences in Brescia
(2010) and Gardone Riviera (2012).
The archiving of the translations in the Transla-
tion Memory System and use of CAT tools such
as Across and Trados allow similar texts to be re-
trieved, thereby reducing translation times, with
significant savings.
6. Quality Assurance
Before delivery to the client every single tran-
slation is checked in revision mode (pursuant to
the UNI EN 15 038 standard) which provides a
comparison with the original text by a second
translator revisor.
Translations that transmit the right content, but
THE TRANSLATION PROCESS
19. which may need syntactic, lexical or stylistic
tweaks then undergo further revision in “review”
mode (checking of only the translated text).
SMG Languages personnel are assessed for
each piece of work based on specific crite-
ria, including: Comprehension, Syntax, Lexis,
Formatting, General Knowledge, Compliance
with local conventions of the target audience,
Punctuality and Professional Ethics.
Constantly updated assessments of all the colla-
borators allow the PMs to identify the translators
most suited to a given job and to plan the level
of revision required to check their work.
Having received the corrected translation, the
PM:
• verifies the changes made by the revisors
with the translator.
• Asks the customer for any clarifications.
• Sends the checked translation and reports
any notes to the client.
7. Data Security
In managing the work processes, the PM pro-
tects the information acquired pursuant to the
SMG Languages Internal Data Security Protocol.
As a supplier of companies and institutions in the
arms and defence sector, we also adopt dedi-
cated systems and procedures to manage in-
formation classified as confidential, highly con-
fidential, secret and top secret.
8. IT Support
Formatting
We supply translations directly in the electronic
format requested by the client, such as InDesign,
AutoCAD or FrameMaker.
Translation memories
Our assisted translation service provides the
possibility to analyse and archive texts which
have been translated in the past in order to
retrieve repetitive parts (instead of translating
them from scratch), thus supplying faster tran-
slation services, reducing the costs and stan-
dardising terminology.
Integrated content management
The use of specific computer systems allows us
to manage and control the entire production
cycle, verify and validate multilingual corporate
content and introduce these solutions at the
premises of the client.
Our editorial systems have the following features:
• technical writing of texts according to given
editorial standards, thus maximising the ef-
fectiveness of communication and reducing
subsequent translation work.
• Management of translation memories in
different languages and numerous import/
export formats.
• Control and standardisation of terminology.
• content management in various layouts
and publishing formats.
• Multi-media communication tools.
• Planning, monitoring and controlling the
editorial cycle.
9. Urgent work and meeting deadlines
Meeting deadlines and providing translations
of huge amounts of urgent work, even over 100
pages a day, is assured by:
• worldwide locations: we have offices
across multiple time zones, managing texts
24 hours a day.
• Our own staff: the PMs are permanent em-
ployees; the translators are partly perma-
nent employees and partly collaborators
who work on a preferential basis for SMG
Languages. This ensures greater control
over human resources, facilitating their trai-
ning and raising their awareness.
• The PMs constantly supervise the work pro-
gress through specific software developed
in-house. Furthermore, the PMs also imple-
ment measures to manage unexpected
contingencies.
• Substitutes with identical skills are ready to
intervene in the event of unavailability of
those originally appointed.
