Native Speakers

We always assign projects to native speakers of the target language as they will produce a more natural, fluent and idiomatic result. They are fully conversant with the culture of their country and familiar with all the latest trends, giving you an on-site correspondent, a specialist with a feel for the locale who can ensure that the translation resounds with your target audience.

Subject specialists

You would not expect an engineer to have marketing flair, or a creative linguist to be medically trained. So when it comes to your translation, simply being a native speaker of the required language will not equip someone to nail the subject matter fully. Medicine, technology, engineering, law and finance all require an appropriate specialist knowledge, while marketing texts and glossy brochures demand an imaginative and stylistic approach which must still hit the brief.

Dedicated to your projects

Only suitably qualified and experienced translators are assigned to your projects. We assure high-calibre translation by vetting all our linguists and, once your preferred translators are established, we will assign them specifically to your projects for the optimum result, while using translation tools and translation memory to further ensure consistency and quality throughout the translation process.

Final checks

All completed translations are checked by the linguists before being returned to the Project Manager. If required by the client, the material can then be checked by a second, suitably qualified linguist who will review the original translator’s work. Once the Project Manager receives the translation, they will perform a further layout and page check before the finalised files are delivered to the client.
