Dianne's right. You do need an LSP. A couple of quick things to look for as you vet providers:
1. Do they use only professional translators? ATA certified or LISA 2. Do they use only mother tongue translators living in the target country? 3. Are their editors and proofreaders professional translators, mother tongue, living in target country? 4. Do they have access to translators with a technical background in your industry, if necessary.
