Consulting

Sematos can help you make the most of your language tools and processes with a thorough evaluation. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all reports or generic lists of best practices. Our experts will take the time to get to know your situation so they can develop a personalized action plan you can actually use.

Why? It’s easy to underestimate the hidden risks and costs of a generic, unstructured translation management process.

Wondering how we can help? Let’s talk about it! Reach out to us at info@sematos.ca to learn more or schedule a meeting.

Still on the fence? Consider some of the risks and costs you might be facing.

The risks

Mismanaged language needs can cause more than just quality problems.

They also expose businesses to certain risks.

Legal risks: Mistakes in contracts, official documents, or regulated content
Operational risks: Delays, rework, hidden costs, inefficiencies

Reputational risks: Inconsistent language and terminology, negative brand image

Organizational risks: Undefined roles and responsibilities, information silos, reliance on improvised solutions, lack of clear governance
Privacy risks: Improper management of sensitive or confidential information

The hidden costs

If there are no established processes or optimized tools, your teams are probably doing their best. But is that really ideal? Have you ever calculated the hidden costs behind inefficiencies?

For example, think about the costs of:

Time spent retranslating documents because of uneven quality

Language and terminology changing from one document to the next
Professionals needing to translate their own texts when their skills could better be used elsewhere
