First of all, we must understand that the establishment of an enterprise must first have corresponding qualifications, which is what we call enterprise qualifications. Enterprise qualification is the relevant documents and certificates that the enterprise meets the relevant industry regulations and has the ability to prove its own production. There are generally two kinds of qualifications here: one is business qualification; Such as business license of enterprise legal person, tax registration certificate, organization code certificate, production license, etc. The other is ability qualification; For example, the corresponding qualification certificates issued by local, national, professional institutions and industry associations obtained by enterprises, such as the qualification of first-class software integrators, the qualification of engineering professional contracting enterprises and so on.
By analogy, the qualification of a translation company can also be divided into two parts: business qualification and ability qualification.
Business qualification of translation company
1. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Company Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), submit relevant application materials to the administrative department for industry and commerce, and the business license will be issued by the industrial and commercial registration authority. The date of issuance of the business license of the company is the date of establishment of the company. The company's business license shall specify the company's name, domicile, registered capital, business scope, name of legal representative and other matters. Where the matters recorded in the company's business license change, the company shall register the change according to law, and the business license shall be renewed by the industrial and commercial registration authority.
2. The business scope of the company is stipulated in the articles of association and registered according to law. The Company Law has the following requirements for the company's business scope: (1) The company's business scope is stipulated in the articles of association, and the company cannot apply for registration beyond the business scope stipulated in the articles of association. (2) The business scope of the company must be registered according to law, that is, the business scope of the company shall be subject to the approval of the registration authority. The company shall engage in business activities within the business scope approved by the registration authority. (3) Projects within the company's business scope restricted by laws and administrative regulations must be approved according to law before registration.
Summary: The business qualification of a translation company is to have an industrial and commercial business license issued by the administrative department for industry and commerce, and the business scope of the industrial and commercial business license includes the category of "translation services".
Ability and qualification of translation company
As a knowledge-intensive industry, the ability of translators determines the upper limit of the strength of translation companies, and the ability of translation companies is essentially the ability of translators. Take our company as an example, the minimum requirements for English translation entry are to obtain TEM-8 certificate for English majors, or CATTI Grade II certificate, NAATI Grade III translation qualification in Australia, etc. Of course, a certificate is more of an entry threshold for an interpreter's ability, and a truly high-quality interpreter is more of translation experience cultivated by a large number of manuscripts, so the most precious asset of a translation company is to have a group of full-time translators with rich translation business.
On the other hand, the ability and qualification of a translation company also includes the honorary qualification obtained by the company. The relevant honorary certificate is the record of the awards and honors. As the proof of the award, it is the sign that the issuing authority affirms a certain work of the enterprise and the external embodiment of the company's soft power. Our company's honorary qualifications include: translators association of china member unit, American Translation Association member unit, 3A-level integrity management demonstration unit, 3A-level quality, service and integrity unit, etc.
Translation certification qualification
As a commercial service specialized in foreign-related business, the translation industry is different from ordinary commercial services. Speaking of supporting documents, in order to ensure the consistency between foreign-related documents and the original content, embassies and consulates at home and abroad and government law enforcement departments require that the translated documents must be stamped with the translation seal of the translation company to authenticate the translated content.
The seal stamped on the translation must contain the words "translation" and "translation". Professional translation companies have sound seals, including: Chinese official seal (round), Chinese and English official seal (round), 13-digit coding translation special seal (round), and foreign-related special seal (round) filed by the Ministry of Public Security and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.
