Quality Process
Quality is built into the workflow, not added at the end.
Different deliverables need different controls. A certified document, website, dubbing project and subtitle file should not pass through one generic checklist. The quality process adapts to the service while keeping scope, review and final-delivery responsibility clear.
Service-specific controls
Quality means different things in different workflows.
Choose your service to explore the checks that matter.

Assign: match the work to the appropriate language, talent or production resources.
A document, a recording and an interface bring different production needs.
Produce
Stage 03 / 06 · Produce
Build for the intended use.
Produce: translate, localize, write, record, generate or edit according to the service.
If source files or requirements change, flag the change so its impact can be assessed.
Review
Stage 04 / 06 · Review
Check what matters to the work.
Review: run service-specific linguistic and production QA.
Explore the service-specific checks above to see how the review focus changes.
Deliver
Stage 05 / 06 · Deliver

Deliver: return the agreed files and verification assets where applicable.
Editable files, exports and verification assets depend on the service and agreed scope.
Revise
Stage 06 / 06 · Revise
Give corrections a clear path.
Revise: handle approved corrections or revision rounds according to the service terms.
New content or a changed brief may need a scope review before further work begins.
03 / The handover
A clear handover.
An agreed path for corrections.
Delivery formats, verification assets and revision terms follow the agreed project scope.
Agreed files
The final formats and deliverables are defined around your project and its intended use.
Revision terms
The correction path and revision rounds follow the terms agreed for your service.
Verification where applicable
Certified translation can include verification assets as part of the agreed package.
Certified files can carry a direct authenticity trail.
The certified workflow supports unique verification numbers and QR-linked verification so a recipient can confirm that a translation was issued by The Arabic Studio.
Verification confirms the issuer. Acceptance requirements are set by the receiving authority.

Questions before you begin.
Practical answers about review, verification and corrections.
Have another question?How does The Arabic Studio control quality?
Projects move through scope, assignment, production, review, delivery and agreed corrections. The review focuses on the actual service: meaning and terminology for translation, performance and timing for audio, and readability and presentation for subtitles or designed assets.
How do you keep terminology and versions consistent?
Share a glossary, style guide, approved names and the latest source files at the start. These references help align language and production decisions. If the source changes during the project, identify the changed sections and version so the team can assess the effect on completed work.
One agreed reference for the whole project.
Share your preferred terminology, spelling choices, style guide and current source files. Identify approved versions clearly, and flag source changes so their impact on translation, recording, layout and delivery can be reviewed.
Do all services use the same review process?
No. Document translation, certified documents, dubbing, subtitles and visual production have different review needs. The service-specific examples on this page show the focus of each workflow. Any additional technical checks, functional testing or specialist review should be agreed in the project scope.
What should I provide before production begins?
Send the source material, languages, audience, intended use and required deliverables. Include terminology lists, reference materials, pronunciation guidance, platform specifications or receiving-authority instructions where relevant. Clear requirements help define the production and review stages.
How are certified translations verified?
The certified workflow can use a unique verification number and QR-linked record so a recipient can confirm that a translation was issued by The Arabic Studio. Verification identifies the issuer; it does not replace the receiving authority’s own acceptance requirements.
What happens if a correction is needed?
Review stages, included revisions and corrections follow the terms agreed for your service, including certified translation. Reference the delivered file and describe the issue with a page number or timecode and the relevant source where useful. New content or changes to the approved brief may require an updated scope.
What if the brief or source files change?
Flag the changes as early as possible and identify the affected files or sections. New content, different formats or changes after approval may affect translation, recording, layout and timing. The scope and delivery plan can then be reviewed before further work proceeds.
Which files and review records will I receive?
The final deliverables depend on the agreed service and scope. Confirm the required language versions, formats, editable files and any verification assets or review records before production. The handover is checked against that agreed list.
