Having a strong translation project kick-off is key to successful project development. <\/span>The Project Manager is in charge of organizing all translation projects for clients or companies. This is why their function is vital when it comes to carrying them out in a simple manner and with as few problems as possible.<\/p>\n

Project Managers need to understand the demands of users and ensure that these can be met.<\/a> To this end, they are responsible for creating a series of tasks with a set deadline for translators and proofreaders who specialize in the subject matter in question. Their work is not minor as it involves gathering content, monitoring its consistency and tone, and finding creative solutions such as creating Translation Memories, a glossary of terms, or the internationalization of the client\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Here are 7 easy steps a PM should follow to a successful project launch:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ensure that all client instructions are clear:<\/strong> the project kick-off is the right time to ask any questions that you foresee could affect overall project management.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Review the document<\/strong> and establish if any type of file preparation, text extraction, or desktop publishing is required.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Make proper project planning<\/strong> to meet client deadlines and expectations.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Assign a team of linguists<\/strong> that have the tool knowledge and subject-matter expertise required for that specific type of content. Maintain that team on that account and type of content throughout the time. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Have the Language Lead review<\/strong> the content, style guide, and glossaries and define criteria where needed.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Get your team onboard:<\/strong> make a project kick-off meeting and share any relevant information about the client and reference material.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Set up a clear query system<\/strong> with your linguistic team.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
