With respect to the translation service, the quality control process usually includes the following:

- The translations done on CAT platforms require the translation and revision stages and a Quality Report based on the Translation Memory for the specific field in question.

Any other project is executed following the quality standards and customer requirements, to ensure that they meet their expectations and demands.

The delivery of the final projects carried out by GOTYKAGE will depend on their nature and may be made available to the client in electronic or non-electronic format.
In the case of delivery of the final project in electronic format, this can be done via email, Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer, or other method that is compatible with the characteristics of the project or that is agreed between both parties.
There is also the possibility of delivery in non-electronic format, as is the case with certified translations (which include the translation certificate), that will be sent by CTT, other transport service, or another method to be agreed with the customer.
