Document Translation

Send us the file, tell us the target language, and you get it back reading as though it were written in that language in the first place. Layout, tables and formatting are kept, so what comes back is usable rather than something you then have to rebuild.

  • Translated by a human linguist who works into their native language
  • Reviewed a second time before it reaches you, not translated once and sent
  • Original formatting preserved - headings, tables, numbering and page order
  • Names, dates, dosages and figures checked against the source
Commonly used for
Legal contracts Medical records Employee handbooks Patient forms School letters Manuals and SOPs

Websites and software

Website and Software Localization

Translating a website is not the same job as translating a document. Dates, currencies, addresses, units and the tone of a call-to-action all have to change with the language, and a button that fits in English often does not fit in German. Localization is that whole job, not just the words - adapting your content, products and services to the market you are moving into so they read as though they were built for it.

  • Interface text, buttons and error messages, not only page content
  • Dates, currency, units and address formats adapted to the market
  • Imagery and examples checked for anything that will not travel
  • Search terms considered in the target language, not translated from English
  • Voice-over and subtitles for video, e-learning and presentations
Commonly used for
Marketing sites Web apps Mobile apps Online stores Help centres Email campaigns

Proofreading and review

A second pair of eyes on a translation you already have

Had something translated elsewhere, or in-house by a bilingual member of staff, and want it checked before it goes to a client, a court or a patient? Send us the translation and the original. We read one against the other and tell you exactly what needs changing and why - or that it is fine as it stands.

Accuracy against the source

Every line read against the original, not skimmed. Omissions, additions and anything that quietly changed meaning get flagged.

Names, numbers and dates

The details that cause the real damage - dosages, figures, dates, addresses and the spelling of people and organisations - checked one by one.

Tone and readability

Whether it reads like something written in that language or like something translated into it, and whether the register suits who is going to read it.

Terminology consistency

The same term translated the same way throughout, including across a set of documents that have to agree with each other.

Formatting and layout

Headings, tables, numbering and page order compared against the original, plus text that has overrun its space after translating.

Ready for who is receiving it

If it is going to a court, a school or a government body, whether it will be accepted in the state it is currently in.

What we translate

The documents we handle most

A legal contract and a marketing brochure are not the same job. We match the linguist to the subject, so terminology stays right and the tone fits what the document is for.

Legal

Contracts, affidavits, court filings, powers of attorney, immigration paperwork and supporting evidence.

Medical

Patient records, consent forms, discharge instructions, clinical documentation and pharmacy information.

Academic

Diplomas, transcripts, certificates and research material, translated for institutions that need the original wording.

Business

Policies, HR documents, employee handbooks, safety procedures, training material and internal communications.

Marketing

Brochures, campaigns, product copy and social content, rewritten to work in the target language rather than translated literally.

Technical

Manuals, specifications, standard operating procedures and product documentation with consistent terminology throughout.

How it works

From your file to a finished translation

Four steps, and you know the price before anything is translated.

1

Send us the file

Upload the document and tell us the language you need it in. Anything readable works - Word, PDF, a scan or a photograph of a paper document.

2

We quote you

You get the price and the turnaround before any work starts. No charge for the quote and no obligation to go ahead.

3

Translate and review

A linguist translates it into their native language and a second person checks it against the original before it is signed off.

4

You get it back

Delivered in the original format, laid out the way you sent it, ready to hand over or submit.
