Vietnamese Document Translation in Toronto

Vietnamese stacks tone marks on top of vowel marks, so one letter can carry two diacritics and the font has to support the combination.

Reading the pair

What changes first on Vietnamese pages

Vietnamese requests are read for diacritic coverage and field order before scope.

Vietnamese uses the Latin alphabet with tone marks that can stack on an already marked vowel, as in ế or ộ. Vietnamese puts the family name first and addresses a person by the given name.

Vietnamese civil registry extracts follow a fixed field order that does not match a Canadian provincial form. Vietnamese uses a comma for the decimal separator and a point for thousands in some documents.

Scope control

What the scope fixes for Vietnamese sets

The scope names the font check, the name-field mapping and the number convention.

A font without the combined glyph drops or flattens the tone, which changes the word, so glyph coverage is checked before typesetting. A Canadian form that asks for the family name last can receive the names reversed, so the field mapping is stated explicitly.

  • 01
    Page list

    Every page that carries Vietnamese text is counted before the quote is prepared.

  • 02
    Direction on the page

    The page is read in the order the Vietnamese original sets, not in the order an English draft would.

The scope names the Vietnamese points above in writing; no page is added silently.

Document set

Where the Vietnamese difference lands on the page

Copying the text without mapping the fields leaves a reader unable to tell which date is the birth date, so each field is mapped to its target label.

A separator read the wrong way changes a value by a factor of a thousand, so the figures are compared with the original.

Checks on the page

The checks a reviewer can make on Vietnamese pages

Every accented character is checked in the chosen font. Family and given names are checked field by field.

Workflow

How Vietnamese files move through the studio

Glyph coverage is checked before the first page is set.

  • 01
    Order

    The Vietnamese pages are read in the source order before the term list is fixed.

  • 02
    Review

    A second reader compares each Vietnamese page with the source.

Quality control

What the second reader checks in Vietnamese sets

Each Vietnamese field is mapped to its target label in the scope. Sums and reference numbers are matched digit for digit.

FAQ

Questions before the first Vietnamese request

Short answers to questions about Vietnamese document translation before the first Vietnamese set is read.

Will the tone marks survive in the file?

The font is checked for every combined character before typesetting, so a tone is not dropped or flattened. The same answer applies to Vietnamese document translation.

How will my name appear on a Canadian form?

The field mapping is stated explicitly, because Vietnamese order and form order differ.

How are Vietnamese figures written?

The separator is checked against the original, so a Vietnamese comma is not read as a thousands mark.

Which pages are named in the scope for Vietnamese?

Only the pages named in the scope for Vietnamese; a page added after the scope is fixed is quoted as new work.

Next step

Send the Vietnamese file for review

Send the Vietnamese document translation file for review. A first reply names the points this page raises for Vietnamese and asks for the pages that carry them.

Nothing is translated before the scope is accepted, so the language direction and the page list stay tied to the same Vietnamese document.
