Your language department

Translation is only part of getting a document ready. We prepare your files, manage the linguistic work and check the finished documents before delivery.

What makes a translation work

Fourteen capabilities, combined around your project.Choose an element to explore ↘

Certification that official bodies accept

A qualified linguist translates the text and signs it. We stamp and seal the document for submission to official bodies. We work from a scan, so you never part with the original. The attestation confirms the translation is accurate. It says nothing about the authenticity of the original.

Every language your project needs

We translate into and out of the languages your projects run in. Translators work into their own language and are matched to the subject matter of your document, as ISO 17100 requires. Language pairs, rates and turnaround are agreed before a project starts.

Marketing copy that reads local in every market

Campaigns, product launches, websites and product copy are adapted for the market rather than translated word for word. Brand terms, product names and approved wording stay consistent across languages. The approved wording sits in a terminology base that stays with you.

Quality assurance on every project

Every project runs six-eyes at minimum: in-house preparation, translation or post-editing, and in-house proofreading. Revision adds a further pass where the work needs it. Anything we find is logged and closed before delivery, so the same fault does not reach you twice.

Post-editing for machine translation

Machine translation gives you a first draft. A qualified linguist then edits that draft against your terminology base and signs it off before delivery. Light and full post-editing are quoted separately, so you choose the level the text needs.

Proofreading by a second linguist

A second qualified linguist reads the finished text for spelling, grammar, punctuation, consistency and layout. The check is carried out by someone other than the translator, as ISO 17100 defines it. You receive the corrected file with the changes marked.

Audiovisual translation and subtitling

Subtitles, captions, voice-over scripts and dubbing scripts, timed to the picture. We work from your video files or from a transcript, and return the format your platform takes. Reading speed and character limits are checked against the platform you publish to.

Terminology that stays yours

We build and maintain a terminology base for your organisation, so a term reads the same way in every language. Product names, regulatory terms and approved wording are held in one place. The base sits alongside your translation memory and stays with you.

Localisation for the markets you sell into

Localisation adapts more than the language. Formats, dates, units, currencies, imagery and legal references change with each market. We localise software, websites and documentation into versions that read local, and your own reviewers test them before release.

A qualified linguist signs off at every stage

Translation is the base. Fourteen human capabilities move your work from source to sign-off: localisation, post-editing, proofreading, quality assurance, certification and multilingual publishing.

Revision against the source text

Revision compares the translation with the source by a second qualified linguist. It is a further pass on top of the six-eyes minimum and it is standard on certified work. Contracts, certificates and tenders usually need it.

Solutions for the way your team already works

Not every job is a bilingual file. Language testing, candidate screening, sense checks on translated content and multilingual desktop publishing all sit with us. We build the answer around your process and your systems, with one named project manager from quote to handover.

Multilingual publishing and typesetting

We set the translated text into your layout and return print-ready and screen-ready files. Multilingual documents share one layout across every language, which keeps them comparable in a tender or a submission. InDesign, Word and PDF workflows are all covered.

Support after delivery

One named project manager stays with you from the first quote to the final file, and after it. If a document changes, or a recipient questions the wording, we answer and correct it. Your terminology base and translation memory are kept in place for the next project.

The right approach

Choose the right level of service

An annual report, a product label and a contract have different readers and requirements. We take the time to understand what your document needs and coordinate the right workflow.

Certified translation

Translation and revision, or quality-managed post-editing and revision, for work that needs a second linguistic stage. We can certify personal documents where required.

Translation or post-editing

A linguist translates or post-edits your content to the agreed brief and deadline, without a separate reviser in this workflow.

For information purposes

Machine or AI translation for content you need to understand quickly, with optional light editing. We do not vouch for the linguistic quality of this option.

Whichever workflow you choose, a project manager prepares the files and checks formatting and completeness before delivery. For information-purpose work, that check is not a substitute for linguistic revision.

Made to fit your project

Your documents, your deadline

Send us your files and tell us what you need. We analyse the content, discuss the right approach and provide a quotation. Where repetition discounts apply, we show them in the quote.

We work with Microsoft Office, InDesign and structured formats such as JSON and XML. If you only have a scan or a non-editable document, we can discuss preparing an editable version before translation.

Translation + design

Keep your project moving

For work that will be designed later, translation can start while the layout is in progress. When the final InDesign file is exported to IDML, we can use the translation memory to bring in the completed text and address design-stage changes. We agree the final-file work in the quotation.

What a project actually gets

Six-eyes at minimum on every project

In-house preparation, translation or post-editing, and in-house proofreading. Revision adds a further pass where the work needs it. Anything we find is logged and closed before delivery, so the same fault does not reach you twice.
