4 translation methods that could make (or break) your project

All translations are certainly not equal. And the 4 main translation methods used in business produce widely different outcomes in terms of quality, time and cost.
Choose the wrong type for your project and you could well end up with a translation that is not fit for purpose, or pay more than you need to.
Fortunately, some simple knowledge will help you avoid those pitfalls.
