Process

Six steps.
Every project.

The same structured process applies whether the project is a two-page contract or a 300,000-word localization. We do not skip steps to meet a shorter deadline.

Why process matters

Consistent process, predictable quality.

The most common translation quality issues trace back to one of two causes: no briefing, or no independent review. Our process addresses both, every time.

01
Brief

Send us your documents or project scope. We confirm language pairs, volume, and any specialist requirements within one business day.

02
Briefing

We prepare a translation brief, terminology reference, and style guide before any text is translated.

03
Translate

Primary linguist works with the agreed brief. All translation is human. No machine translation without explicit agreement.

04
Review

A second linguist reviews the translation against the source independently. Discrepancies are resolved before delivery.

05
Proofread

Final proofreading pass for language quality, formatting, and glossary consistency.

06
Deliver

Final files in your requested format. Certified translations include a stamp and signed cover sheet where required.
