After choosing languages on the order form, fill in the \u201cInstructions for the Translator\u201d section and tell the translator what you need: should the numbers be formatted a certain way? Should any words remain untranslated, like a company name? Should the audience be addressed formally or in a friendly manner? Instructions help your translator to understand your expectations and ultimately empowers them to provide the best translation possible.<\/p>\n<h4>Helpful resources and references<\/h4>\n<p>For high quality and accuracy, providing context and relevant information to your translator is a must. Add everything from links to your website, screenshots to your app to additional background information about your project. If you have any specific requests, let the translator know in the comments.<\/p>\n<p>If you have more in-depth instructions or want certain terms translated a certain way, you may need to create a longer style guide or glossary for your project.
