Length, subject and format.
Our services, in detail
Four services for individuals, businesses and professional firms, quoted before any work starts.
Program 01 · Quoted on word count
Document translation
Quoting on word count and complexity rather than per page means you are not charged for white space. Technical and specialised material is priced accordingly, and where a text needs subject knowledge we do not have, we will say so rather than producing a translation that reads oddly to a specialist.
Stage 2 · Quote
Word count, price and deadline.
Stage 3 · Translate
Fully, with queries raised.
Stage 4 · Review
Checked before it goes to you.
Stage 1 · Requirement
What the receiving body actually asks for.
Stage 2 · Complete translation
Everything, including stamps and seals.
Stage 3 · Certificate
Signed, identifying translator and document.
Stage 4 · Notarisation
Where required, by a Florida notary.
Program 02 · With a certificate of accuracy
Certified translations
A certified translation is complete and literal, accompanied by a signed certificate identifying the translator and the document. It certifies that the translation is accurate — it does not verify that the original is genuine, and no translator can promise an agency will accept a filing.
Program 03 · Impartial, and complete
Interpreting
An interpreter conveys everything that is said, in both directions, without adding, omitting or advising. That includes not answering on your behalf when it would be quicker. Impartiality is the whole value of the role, and it is what makes an interpreted conversation trustworthy to both sides.
Stage 1 · Booking
Setting, subject and duration.
Stage 2 · Preparation
Terminology reviewed beforehand.
Stage 3 · Interpreting
Everything said, nothing added.
Stage 4 · Confidentiality
Nothing discussed leaves the room.
Stage 1 · Compare
Translation against the source.
Stage 2 · Assess
Patchable, or needs redoing.
Stage 3 · Honest answer
Including when redoing is cheaper.
Stage 4 · Corrected
Returned with changes visible.
Program 04 · Including machine output
Proofreading & review
Machine translation is often nearly right, which is the dangerous kind of wrong — fluent text with a reversed negative or a term of art rendered literally. We review against the source and tell you honestly when a text needs retranslating rather than patching, because patching bad output sometimes costs more.
