LinquaCert is the certification body for ambitious translation service providers
We offer you two certificates that have been created specifically to certify the quality of translation services. They both comply with international standards and can therefore be used in all language areas in which you operate.
ISO 17100 certificate
The ISO 17100 certificate defines the requirements for high-quality translation services is determined. Various service processes are analysed during the certification process. The aim is to ensure consistently high quality in terms of language, style and vocabulary. Consistent standards are just as important.
The importance of processes and workflows in a translation is often underestimated. ISO 17100 ensures that the project management rules laid down in the standard are followed, as well as proof of translator training.
We support you with ISO 17100 certification and issue you with the certificate if the audit is successful. We are a recognised certification body with experts in all areas of auditing translation service providers.

ISO 18587 certificate
The ISO 18587 certificate was specially for machine-generated translations was created. It defined the processes in which translations are carried out and processed by computer. The Post-editing is a particular focus of ISO 18587 certification. This is where professional service providers differ from free online providers. It is important for your customers that post-processing is carried out to a consistently high standard. As part of the ISO certification process, we explain to you which requirements exist and where there is a need for improvement in your processes.
With ISO 18587 certification, you can improve the efficiency of your translations and streamline your processes without compromising on quality. You can prove to your customers with a certificate that you work in a time-efficient manner and can deliver an optimised machine translation.
The right certificate for you
If you offer traditional translations in one or more languages, you should definitely be certified to ISO 17100. This will enable you to demonstrate the high quality of your services to the outside world. If you also have machine translations in your portfolio, an ISO 18587 certificate is required. Only this guarantees proof of quality for this type of translation.
