55 How Translation and Interpretation Service Providers Can Use WeiCity: From Service Introduction to Client Commissions

From Service Introduction to Client Commissions

“Can you translate this document?”

“Do you provide Chinese-English interpreting?”

“How long will the translation take?”

“Can you handle scanned files or images?”

“The content is quite technical. Can you assess it first?”

When looking for translation and interpreting services, clients usually first confirm the language pair, file type, purpose, delivery time and scope of service. Explaining the process and material requirements clearly makes communication more efficient for both sides.

💡 With WeiCity, you can set up your own service channel and organize your language services, commissioning process and quotation method, so clients can learn about your services first and then contact you to confirm specific needs.

📌 File complexity, format and purpose affect workload and pricing, and should be confirmed before accepting a commission.

1️⃣ Source Document

Provide a clear, complete document or scan.

2️⃣ Target Language

Specify which language it needs to be translated into.

3️⃣ Purpose of the Document

If it is for internal reading, promotion, submission to an institution or another purpose, please state this in advance.

4️⃣ Word Count or Number of Pages

If unclear, the client can submit the document first for the merchant to assess.

5️⃣ Delivery Time

State the desired completion date and ask whether it can be arranged.

6️⃣ Format Requirements

For example, whether the original layout, tables or subtitle format must be retained.

📌 If a document contains personal, commercial or sensitive information, clients should first learn about the service provider's document receiving and confidentiality arrangements, then choose an appropriate channel to submit it.

You can organize:

🔹 Interpreting Format and Language Pair

🔹 Service Date, Time and Location

🔹 Event Topic and Schedule

🔹 Expected Number of Participants

🔹 On-Site Equipment or Online Platform Requirements

🔹 Interpreting Duration and Break Arrangements

🔹 Whether Materials Need to Be Reviewed in Advance

🔹 Transportation, Accommodation and Additional Costs

🔹 Rescheduling and Cancellation Methods

💡 Clients who provide the agenda, terminology or background materials in advance help both sides confirm the scope of preparation.

📌 Interpreting arrangements should be confirmed according to event content, timing and on-site conditions. When quoting, state the service duration and what is included.

Recommended to specify:

✅ Whether pricing is based on word count, pages, duration or project

✅ Whether proofreading or layout is included

✅ Whether there is a minimum charge

✅ Whether rush arrangements are quoted separately

✅ How additional revisions are calculated

✅ Whether interpreting transportation or equipment costs are charged separately

✅ Payment and delivery methods

✅ When the delivery period starts

🔶 For example:

“Translation fees and delivery times will be confirmed according to language direction, document content, word count and format requirements. Please feel free to provide the materials and their purpose first, and we will reply with a quote and timeline after assessment.”

📌 Before the document has been assessed, an estimated time should not be written as a final delivery commitment.

You can explain the following to clients:

🔹 Document Receiving and Delivery Methods

🔹 Who Can View or Handle Documents

🔹 Whether a Confidentiality Agreement Is Required

🔹 Revision and Version Confirmation Process

🔹 Document Retention and Deletion Arrangements

🔹 How Personal Information in Documents Is Handled

💡 Public channels are suitable for general commissioning processes. Do not display original texts, contracts or personal documents that clients have not authorized for public viewing.

📌 Confidentiality requirements may vary between clients and should be discussed and confirmed before a formal commission.

You can check according to the scope of service:

✅ Whether the language direction and document version are correct

✅ Whether names, dates, numbers and units are consistent

✅ Whether tables and paragraphs are complete

✅ Are the proper nouns using the translations confirmed by the client?

✅ Is the agreed format retained?

✅ Are files named and delivered as required?

✅ Does the client need further proofreading or revisions?

💡 If the client provides a glossary, brand names, or a list of proper nouns, confirm which version to use before starting.
