Answer 9 YES, you can play a part in the final results of your translation. No matter which Spanish translator hire, there are a number of things you can do to ensure that your translation is first rate. 1 Provide a clear original source text, with few if any grammar mistakes. 2 Give a good contact number or email so that the translator can contact you with any questions about the source text or translation. 3 Decide on and inform the translator of you target audience. The Spanish used to market a product to teenagers in Argentina would not be the same as Spanish used to sell a product to teenagers in Mexico. Focusing on a target audience in the translation will increase your effective communication greatly. 4 Try to avoid company specific jargon in your original text, or replace this jargon with more universally know terms if possible. 5 Allow enough time from the day you order to your deadline for a quality translation to be produced. (Last minute orders can be done, but more time allows for more detailed attention and editing)
