The tolingo Quality Certificate

In international business relationships, more is required than a translation that “sounds good.” Translations must be verifiably produced and reviewed according to defined standards – ensuring smooth workflows, keeping stakeholders informed, and providing clear documentation of requirements. On request, you can receive the tolingo Quality Certificate with your translation as a project-specific confirmation of the quality processes applied.

1. What the Certificate Confirms

The tolingo Quality Certificate documents that your specialist translation has been created and reviewed in accordance with tolingo’s internal quality standards. Depending on your project requirements, the following components may be documented:

ISO-compliant workflows (e.g., ISO 17100 for translation, ISO 18587 for post-editing)
Qualified specialist translators with proven industry expertise
Machine translation with post-editing performed by experienced linguists
Additional manual review by a second linguist (four-eyes principle)
Terminology and format checks according to client-specific requirements

Included in the Certificate (excerpt)

Project and language details, as well as completion date
Documentation of applied process steps (e.g., post-editing, review)
Reference to relevant ISO standards and internal review stages
Signature of the tolingo management and certification seal overview

2. Why This Matters for Businesses

In complex international projects, teams and stakeholders require transparency on how translations are created and reviewed. The tolingo Quality Certificate provides a clear, project-specific record – suitable for internal approvals, vendor documentation, or client communications.

Traceability: Instantly shows which quality modules were applied.
Comparability: Uniform criteria across languages, brands, and subject areas.
Efficiency: Saves time in audits, reporting, and proposal preparation.
Trust: Demonstrates to clients and partners how quality is ensured and documented.

3. Smart Use of AI – Clearly Documented

Where it is technically and commercially beneficial, tolingo uses machine translation – always combined with qualified post-editing and defined review steps. The certificate transparently states whether and to what extent these steps were applied, ensuring the process remains fully traceable for all parties involved.

4. What the Certificate Looks Like

The certificate is provided as a project-specific PDF. It includes the key project data, confirmation of the quality standards applied, the signature of tolingo’s management, and an overview of relevant ISO seals. On request, it can be supplemented with project-specific information (e.g., glossaries, tools used, review protocols).
