Standard service
Translation of documents required for legal purposes or certification (added at an extra charge) require our Standard service.
The project will initially be assigned to a first-language specialist with a technical background that is relevant to the source material. A second language specialist will then conduct an independent, rigorous proofread, checking for complete accuracy of terminology.
Information service
Our Information service delivers translations that are suitable for when disclosure of information is required. The text will be translated and delivered by a language specialist with the appropriate technical background, without the need for further proofreading. This streamlined approach delivers quality translations alongside significant time and cost savings.
You can later upgrade to a Standard service level translation, should you decide to use the documents for other purposes, at an additional cost.
