About This Item
TS ISO 11669 is a general guidance standard for written translation projects, focusing on how such projects are defined, organized, and managed from start to finish. Its central aim is to improve efficiency and quality by making communication clearer among the requester, the service provider, and the end user of the translation.
Translation project specifications and the project lifecycle
The standard provides a framework for developing translation project specifications, which form the basis for requesting, setting up, managing, and evaluating translation projects. In general technical terms, this means setting out the source text purpose, target audience, delivery format, terminology preferences, and workflow expectations before work begins. That shared specification helps align all parties and reduces avoidable misunderstandings during the project.
Boundaries of use and practical context
The document also offers guidance on needs analysis, risk assessment, and workflows, but it does not provide procedures for assessing the quality of translated output. It does not apply to interpreting services. It is relevant across sectors, including commercial and government settings as well as non-profit organizations. Although it is primarily intended for those who request translation services, it is also useful for translation service providers and end users as a common reference for project planning.
