To protect the clients we do not use as samples documents they sent us for translations unless we are given permission do do so.

Although we are dealing with Tagalog samples here, we have culled our insights from translating in at least four major Filipino languages, that is, Tagalog, Cebuano, Hiligaynon, and Ilocano.

We generally follow the principles of dynamic translation, but we adjust and interact with the text, always conscious of a specific audience as dictated by the jargon of the source documents and the specifications of the clients.


Translate to Tagalog Guide for Checking and Review
To translate from English to Tagalog is to make sure that all the dynamic elements of the target language are in place without deducting from the meaning of the source text.

1 Are all the vocabulary correct for the context of the sentence?

2 Are the sentences in smooth natural order, understandable in one reading?

3 Are there smooth transitions between sentences and paragraphs?

4 Translate to Tagalog and check your verb tenses.

5 Is the translation too long, and can it be made shorter and still keep the meaning of the source text intact?

6 What about coining new words, transliteration, taglish, and code-switching? When are these necessary?

7 For greater consistency have you tried comparing Tagalog and Filipino translations? 7 Finally, how do you solve spelling variations?
