You've prepared your proposal and agreed on the scope. Now it's time to send it to a client in another country. The translation needs to clearly present the same offer your team approved.
Ana Carolina Silveira De Luca of Opportunity Translations discusses precision in her article published by Vitória News on 30 September 2026.
A small detail can change what the client understands
Consider this illustrative example: “dispatch in ten days” and “delivery in ten days” refer to different stages. The translation needs to preserve the stage specified in the source document.
Also check how currency, quantities, units of measurement and included items appear. The information needs to remain consistent throughout the proposal's text and tables.
The translation needs to reflect the approved version
If the sales team changes a deadline or adds a condition after the first translation, that change also needs to appear in the other language.
Before sending, confirm that both files reflect the same proposal. This helps prevent the client from reviewing a version that differs from the one your business intends to present.
Translation and review for your next business opportunity
If your proposal still needs translating, send the latest file. If a translation already exists, include the source document so we can assess the scope of the review.
At Opportunity Translations, quotes take account of the content, languages, intended use and requested deadline. The service and delivery format are set out in the quote.
Send us your business proposal and tell us when you need to present it to the client.
