STAFF
Under the organization of Orient Translation Services, there are both internal and external
resources, depending on the specific requirements of each project. All technical and project
management tasks and most of the editing tasks are performed internally, and independent
professionals are employed for outsourcing certain linguistic tasks. All translations are done by
native speakers, who are experts in their field.
Orient's inhouse team of 18 highly qualified professionals, composed of project managers,
software engineers, linguists and DTP specialists, is to complete the projects, ensuring compliance
with deadlines and each client's quality requirements. We work with over 40 previously tested
independent professionals.
In order to qualify as an Orient linguist, candidates must hold higher education degrees and
demonstrate extensive professional experience in their subject of expertise. In addition, they
must successfully pass our internal testing, which involves semantics accuracy, a perfect command
of grammatical and typographical rules, stylistic elegance, and adaptation to the target audience.
