Your message is our mission - in any language, to any culture, for any market.

Quality, technology and personalised service are the cornerstones of our translation service. Combined with our mission to ensure that your message is expertly adapted for your target audience, whatever the medium, language, culture or market.

Quality

Thanks to our talented team of linguists, specialised translators and account managers, we have built a reputation for consistent, brand-sensitive, high-quality translations over the past twenty years. Whether your texts are for social media, websites, videos, packaging, training material, documentaries, corporate films, brochures or reports, they are translated by professionals with expertise in your specific business sector or subject area, curated by experienced, qualified linguists and delivered on time, ready for deployment.

Technology

We use a constantly updated translation platform that combines translation memory, glossary management and workflow management. This ensures terminological consistency, allows translation teams to tap into the same client-exclusive glossary, automatically calculates repetition discounts and allows clients to re-deploy their personalised glossaries and previously translated segments across departments or brands. The system guarantees consistency, maximises efficiency and results in considerable time and cost savings for clients.

Moreover, clients that use website content management platforms or proprietary text-integration software can rely on us to integrate our system with theirs, or set up dedicated client software on site, whenever this is the optimal solution.

Personalised service

Your dedicated account manager will work with you to set up a detailed translation brief and will then select the optimal translator or team of linguists with the relevant expertise and experience in every language pair. Your account manager will liaise with you throughout the process, in order to ensure that the translations are delivered to brief, on time and within budget.

When brands need to transfer their advertising copy and creative texts into other languages and for other cultures, we call on mother-tongue copywriters in the target countries to guarantee language and culture-specific expertise, experience and creativity.

After taking your brief, we liaise with the copywriters and copy editors before delivering multiple versions with explanations and back translations. We accompany your creative team throughout the selection process and on to the final approved layout. That way we can guarantee that your print, TV and digital campaigns will be brand-consistent and transfer perfectly in intent, style, tone and content to your target markets.

After transcreating creative texts, a second linguist translates the target language text back into the original language and delivers the back translation with a report explaining any apparent discrepancies. In this way, clients can be sure that their transcreation brief has been fully met and the text has been adapted for the target culture, while being free to request adjustments or make further creative suggestions. Back translations bring the client into the creative process and allow them to see for themselves how the meaning and spirit of their original copy has been captured, respected and reflected.

This can be done in all languages but is particularly important for languages that European and American clients may be less familiar with, such as Slavic, Middle Eastern and Asian languages.

Aside from the checking and editing we always do between receiving a translated text and delivering it to you, we can also edit texts in any language written by your staff or delivered by external consultants.

Before your text goes to press, gets recorded or appears online, we ask you to let us proofread the final version to ensure 100% accuracy and consistency. We can also proofread texts written or translated by others.

Before recording a foreign language version to picture, your script needs to be properly adapted so that the voice talent and voice director can work quickly and effectively.

Whether your film needs time-synced voiceover or movie-perfect lip sync, our team of experienced script adaptors will ensure that before you step into the studio your scripts are perfectly calibrated for the task in hand – whatever the target language.

We analyse your language needs and use a global network of language professionals to deliver texts and voiceovers in any language that perfectly fit your brief.

Always ready to explain, clarify and offer alternative solutions, our language support project manager will ensure stress-free and high-impact localisation of all your text and audio.

Ask us to evaluate any text you have and we will deliver a report, including recommendations for any necessary modifications to bring it into line with your brief and your brand.

Deliver your brief in your language and we will liaise between your communications or marketing team and our hand-picked English copywriters, to produce original copy for brochures, websites, presentations, short videos and training modules.

If localisation is planned, we will ensure that the copy is suitable for adaptation.
