Translation Workflow & Process

There is no single approach to translation: the right workflow depends on how the content will be used.

Different types of content require different levels of control. Internal drafts, operational documents, and public-facing materials do not carry the same level of risk. Applying the same translation (workflow) process to all content increases cost where it is not needed and reduces control where it matters.

For this reason, we apply translation workflows based on purpose, exposure, and risk.
