Content and translation
Text that reads as written, not as translated
Literal translation produces text that is understandable and strange at once: the sentence is correct but nobody speaks that way. Our aim is a reader who never suspects it is a translation, which sometimes means rewriting.
What we translate
The material types we handle
Each carries a different requirement.
Marketing material
- Website pages and awareness campaigns
- Product descriptions in online stores
- Articles and knowledge guides
- Presentations and company profiles
- Interface text inside applications
Precision material
- Technical documents and operating manuals
- Terms, conditions and privacy policies
- Formal correspondence with authorities
- Specialist reports and studies
- Medical, engineering and legal terminology
Consistency
The danger in translation is drift, not error
When one person renders a term one way and someone else renders it differently on the same site, the reader loses confidence and search splits between two versions of one concept. So we agree a glossary first.
What the project glossary holds
Review
Three stages after the first translation
Drop any one and it shows in the text.
Glossary conformance
Confirming every term was rendered in the agreed form rather than differently in each paragraph.
Reading without the original
A reviewer reads the second version alone, catching sentences that only make sense if you know the source.
Review in visual context
Reading the text in place on the page, because a line that works in a document can break a button or a card.
