本地化科技翻译的风险管理

翻译风险是指因翻译行为未能达到预期结果,而给译者带来损失的可能性。本地化科技翻译具有文字处理量大,语种版本多、时效性强、服务环节多、涉及利益相关方多的特点,因而其风险产生的概率也更大。本地化科技翻译的风险主要包括质量风险、时间风险、成本风险。本地化企业应在对风险成因和风险类型进行深入分析的基础之上,通过有效的风险管理,防范和规避各种可能出现的风险。

Risk Management in Localized Scientific ＆ Technical Translation

Therefore it is important for localization enterprises to adopt effective risk management to prevent and avoid any possible risk based on deep analysis of risk factors and risk types.
