Contacted 3 translation providers to get information about offerings, pricing, process, and turnaround.

Spoke with two language services this week. Still awaiting pricing information for one of them. Then I can make a decision and submit a BAR.

Continued to evaluate translation/interpretation services, including meetings with reps and acquiring quotes to compare,

After selecting a new translation/interpretation company to work with, I submitted the BAR, and wrote the SOW for the contract. I presented updates about translation at the D/DR meeting this week and updated the research ops dashboard with new information about options for translation quality.

Bethany presented her latest proposal to the Design Research team yesterday. She will present tomorrow to the whole of Research in Research Staff meeting. Barring a need for major updates, she will wrap this work up by Friday (otherwise we will revisit the timelines).

Presented updates [private doc] to language services at the Research team meeting. Also presented updated process to the team members present at the DR team meeting so they can make orders on behalf of Designers and Research team members when I'm not able. Designers can access information about the available language services and the process for requesting/ordering in the Research Ops Dashboard in Notion [private link].
