Frequently asked questions
How do I know which tier I need — general, business, or legal/medical/technical?
If your content is customer-facing or brand-related, choose Business & Marketing. If it's a contract, medical record, technical manual, or anything where a single wrong term could cause a problem, choose Legal, Medical & Technical. Everything else is usually General. If you're not sure, tell us what the document is for and we'll recommend a tier.
Do you translate into languages other than English?
We translate from a source language into English, and our linguists work in a range of language pairs. Tell us your source language and we'll confirm we have the right linguist for it.
Can one linguist handle a large project across multiple documents?
For consistency, we assign one linguist and one terminology approach per project wherever possible, adding a glossary for longer or ongoing work so terminology stays consistent even across a larger volume.
What if my document has tables, headers, or graphics?
Formatting & desktop publishing is available as an add-on, so your translation comes back laid out to match your original document.
