FAQ

When it comes to hotel or restaurant reviews, fast and cost-effective translation is essential. With automated processes and the use of machine translation, you can get these translations without much delay. If desired, with subsequent quality control.
Spanish today comes in many varieties. Castilian or Spanish as the official language of Spain, but also Spanish for Mexico, Peru and some other countries. Different words are used especially in relation to everyday language, food and customs. If you don’t have the budget for different translation options, go with the language of the country where most of your clients live. In case of doubt, Spanish for Spain.

Specialized terms in the tourism industry
Use of terminology for the tourism and travel industry
Since there is often more than one way to translate specialist terms, we maintain a multilingual terminology with definitions as well as other information for our regular customers. Good terminology saves time and contributes to translation quality. This is even more true when different people are working on a project over a longer period of time.
Automation saves time
How we organize your translation projects
Use of translation technologies for the tourism and travel industry
For larger and longer projects, time and cost are the key challenges. Here, technologies and appropriate workflows can make a decisive difference:
- With pure machine translation, decision-makers can very quickly gain an overview of the material and thus determine which documents should be translated, in what order, and in what quality.
- Human translation (also called "traditional translation") using translation memory systems (TMS)reduces costs by reusing existing translations. No sentence is translated twice!
- The D.O.G. MT machine translation system can be individually trained for your company and your field(s) of expertise, thus achieving significantly higher quality and reliability than off-the-shelf systems that do not master any field of expertise properly.
- The ErrorSpyquality assurance software, which D.O.G. has been continuously developing for 20 years, has a wide range of checking functions, such as checking numbers and number formats or context checking and ensuring terminology consistency. This gives you the assurance that, even under time pressure and when teams of translators are deployed, the terminology and figures are correct, which is naturally elementary for translations in the tourism and travel industry.
- The use of (almost) pure machine translation is also suitable for projects where the translation does not need to be completely correct. This applies, for example, to translations of customer reviews and customer comments in the comment fields on websites. Automated translation significantly reduces translation costs, and content such as customer feedback appears in the user's native language.

Qualifications of our professional translators for the tourism and travel industry
We are convinced that translators are only good if they have sound specialist knowledge in addition to their purely linguistic qualifications. They must understand what is behind the words, both in the source and target language.
The English term “vacation” is to be used exclusively in the USA, or is the term “holiday” also applicable here? And is there a difference between “ground floor” or “first floor” in the UK and in the US?
Our translators are carefully vetted for their professional qualifications. As a service company that has been audited several times in accordance with the ISO 17100 standard, we have successfully demonstrated that the specialized qualifications and quality of the translators we use has always been met.
It goes without saying that we only use specialized translators who translate into their native language.
