Translate everything
Including stamps and inconvenient parts.
Why fluent translations fail
Because reading well and saying the same thing are different achievements.
How we work
Complete, literal, and nothing added
The most dangerous translation is the one that reads beautifully and has quietly reversed a negative, softened an obligation or rendered a term of art literally. Nothing looks wrong, so nobody checks, and the error surfaces when a filing is rejected or a clause is disputed.
Certified work has to resist that temptation completely. A certified translation is literal and complete — stamps, seals, marginal notes and all — because its purpose is to let someone who cannot read the original rely on exactly what it says, not on a tidier version of it.
Interpreting demands the same discipline in real time. The pull to help, to summarise, to answer the easy question on someone's behalf is constant, and giving in to it destroys the only thing an interpreter offers: both parties being able to trust that what they heard is what was said.
Our principles
Three beliefs behind the method
Stay impartial
An interpreter does not advise or answer.
Not legal advice
What it means is an attorney's question.
