Widget,
You'll notice a slight diference in my translation " chúng ta ' and 'chúng tôi'
I use chúng tôi to indicate the company Director Board 's commitment to its employees whereas chúng ta implies the whole company's commitment to customers.

Lenguyen, can we discuss some word usage in the translation just for an exchange of ideas? Sorry, I don't mean to be picky, but my work emphasizes accuracy in translation and I wanted to see what you thought so that it will help me in my work.

#2 I made the same mistake you did in translating turnover as "doanh thu" because it seemed more logical that a company's workforce would depend on the company's "revenue" or "doanh thu"; however the company confirmed that this was "employee turnover" which would be "tốc độ nhân viên được thay thế"

#3 Wouldn't "kiểm toán" be more appropriate for "audit" ; "kiểm tra" is general for inspection and examination. Whereas, "kiểm toán" does mean "audit"

#6 You used "dự phòng" for preventive; I believe the meaning for dự phòng is to plan or prepare for and that is different from prevention. Prevention = ngừa phòng, ngăn ngừa?

#7 You used "điều lệ" for capital improvement policies; "điều lệ" is regulation whereas "chính sách" is policy and you didn't write anything for capital improvement.

What do you think?

[carolton67]

As for your switching from "chúng ta" to "chúng tôi", I know what you are implying, but it doesn't sound smooth when you switch back and forth like that and can be confusing to someone reading it, if it is not clarified. Also most companies do not want to differentiate between or separate themselves with management and employees. They want employees and everyone else to consider themselves a part of the company and become one whole entity because everyone is working towards the same goal and for the good of the company.

Carolton,
#3 To me, using 'Kiểm toán' is not quite appropriate in this case. You can Kiểm toán company's revenue, but you can't kiểm toán employee's performance. you're right, my translation 'Kiểm tra' is general use for inspection, . Let's use Thanh tra. How's that?

#6 Yes,you are right.Prevention = ngừa phòng, ngăn ngừa?

#7 Yes, policy is chính sách, For a small firm, I would use 'điều lệ'.
I use Cải thiện căn bản for Capital improvement because the statement is about "maintenance' and 'vốn' does not significantly affect 'maintenance activities'.

Chúng ta, chúng tôi. Yes I was reluctant to do so and it seems confusing but If you take a closer look at #2 & #4. Employees themselve can't carry out those kind of tasks.

These are statements inside the Quality Manual that are to reflect the company's goals. These goals have to be measured. for instance #2, the goal of the company is to provide solid employment for their community and to keep their current employees and hire additional as they grow, they will know they have accomplished this goal (it can be measured) by the turnover rate of employees.

#8 is the continuous process of evaluating the company's overall performance... on time delivery, defect free products, customer and employee satisfaction, etc. and determining if the company which includes All employees and management have achieved them.

For the ISO registration they are working towards each goal has to be defined, measured and have documented results.
