Before starting translation, the translation service provider should fully understand the needs of customers using documents, record the special needs of customers in detail, and objectively introduce the quality level and pass rate of the translation to customers to eliminate possible ambiguities to the greatest extent. The factors that affect the quality of documents mainly include the translator's language control ability, professional knowledge structure, work experience and experience, and translation time limit. This standard stipulates the general requirements for translation quality, the flexibility allowed in translation, and the evaluation of translation quality. F Scope

Batch translations of 10,000 words or more (including 10,000 words) may be subject to random inspection, and the inspection range is generally 10% to 30%: Translations of less than 10,000 words may be subject to full inspection: or as agreed by both parties
9 Declaration of Conformity| |tt||Translation service providers may voluntarily fulfill the terms of this standard and assume the responsibility to ensure that the quality of their translations meets the requirements of this standard. A.1 Error categories of translation quality
Appendix A
(Normative Appendix)
Calculation method of comprehensive translation error rate
GB/T19682—2005
Category I: There are core semantic errors or key words (numbers) in the understanding of the original text and the expression of the translation, and there are mistranslations of sentences and paragraphs. Category II: General semantic errors, non-key words (numbers), mistranslations of paragraphs, and wording, grammatical errors or misexpressions in the translation.
Category III: Inaccurate and inconsistent professional terms, not in line with standards or conventions, or mistranslations of special terms. Category: measurement units, symbols, abbreviations, etc. are not translated according to the regulations (contracts). A.2 Calculation of the comprehensive error rate of the translation
The calculation of the comprehensive error rate of the translation is shown in formula (A.1): Comprehensive error rate KC. EDL+D1tsDatcn Du ×100%W
In the formula:
Comprehensive difficulty coefficient, the recommended value range is 0.5~-1.0. CA
Coefficient of the purpose of translation, recommended values: Category 1 coefficient of the country of use: CA1;
Category II coefficient of the month of use: CA =0.75; Category II coefficient of the purpose of use: Ca =D.5;
Coefficient of the self of use: C.=0.25,
W——Total number of symbols in the contract.
DIDD is the number of times that errors of type DI, II, III, and IV occur. Repeatable errors are counted as one.cltu-tim
The coefficients and recommended values of errors of type I, II, and III are as follows: c1-3;
