Abgelehnte Übersetzungen wegen Formfehlern

Definition

DFAT requires that each translated page submitted for legalisation carries the NAATI translator’s stamp with practitioner ID, language, certification type, name, date and signature/‘Digitally Authenticated by NAATI’, and that this information be present on every page, with the original or a copy signed or stamped by the translator attached.[2] AHPRA likewise requires a full translation (no extracts) and a signed accuracy statement including the translator’s ID or seal on every page and full contact details, and it explicitly states that the applicant is responsible for organising and covering all translation costs.[3] Industrial Chemicals and other regulators require a statement that the translation is a true and accurate translation with the translator’s full name and official stamp or identification number.[4] When agencies deliver translations that miss mandatory elements (e.g. no NAATI ID on every page, no full text of stamps/seals, no signed statement) or provide extracts instead of full translations, applications are rejected and clients require urgent corrections. In practice, agencies often absorb the cost to maintain client relationships, resulting in revenue leakage through unpaid re‑work, duplicated QA, and express shipping. Assuming a certified translation job at AUD 150–250 and 2–3 hours of translator plus PM time for rework, plus any courier costs, each rejected file can consume AUD 300–600 in direct and opportunity cost. For an LSP handling 20–30 such matters monthly with a 5–10% reject rate, annual leakage of AUD 36,000–216,000 is realistic.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Translation providers in Australia 🇦🇺 waste schätzungsweise AUD 300–600 pro fehlerhaftem Dokument auf kostenlose Nachbesserungen und Zweitversendungen. Automation of template checks, NAATI-stamp validation, and page‑completeness verification before delivery eliminates this rework.
