In addition to our expanding in-house team, Dove regularly enlists the services of an elite team of qualified linguists to provide its clients with translation support.

General requirements for inclusion in our pool of translators are that the translator must be a native speaker of the target language and preferably resident in the target country; he or she will possess a degree in the source language, translation studies, or one similar.

Also, membership of a recognised language association/institute (i.e. ITI, ATA, etc) would be a distinct advantage.

Technology is central to the translation process so we would expect our translators to possess fairly recent computer hardware and software (MS Office, Trados, Wordfast), plus two valid email accounts (one as backup) as most of our business is transacted by this method.

Lastly, we prefer to pay overseas translators/agencies using PayPal or Moneybookers. We can use the standard bank transfer method but bank charges will be charged to the payee.

We then consider the translator's level of specialisation before deciding upon inclusion.

Insurance Specialist: this qualified linguist will be familiar with insurance and associated terminology; will have worked for a time in the insurance industry, and may also possess a professional insurance qualification (i.e. ACII, FCII, etc).

Technical Specialist: this qualified linguist will be familiar with an insurance associated industry such as aviation, engineering, medicine, law etc; will have worked for a period of time in one of these technical industries, and may also possess a professional technical qualification (i.e. M.Eng, MD, LL.B, etc).
