IS.1:5.2 - Make a review practice workable without acquiring the specialty

A self-employed translator is introducing a workflow that checks consequential technical terms before delivery. They can compare the source and translation but cannot decide several specialized meanings. The missing contribution is an obtainable qualified judgement at the review point, not a general lack of willingness to learn.

The translator and a specialist agree which questions need review, the source material, confidentiality conditions, response time and how an unresolved term returns before delivery. The specialist supplies the subject judgements; the translator uses them in the workflow and retains the responsibility for the translation. This makes the intended review practice possible without pretending that the translator has acquired the specialty.

The bounded support undertaking can end once those contributions can be obtained and used on the required project. If an adequate existing review service already supplies all of them, the translator can simply commission that result; no separate implementation undertaking or learning programme is needed. Repeated later work can justify reconsidering continued provision or personal acquisition, but does not decide that choice in advance.
