Frequently Asked Questions

How do you recruit translators?

Most of our recruitment is done through CVs which we receive on a daily basis. However we do also recruit through professional bodies such as ITI or IoL

What do you consider when choosing a Translation Vendor?

If you are new to purchasing translation services and choosing a provider or you wishing to move from an existing language solutions provider we understand the risk that comes with this decision. There are several questions to be asked:

Patent Translation

Patent translation is a very specialised area and one in which every care possible must be taken. When dealing with Intellectual Property, for example, the slightest inaccuracy could compromise intellectual assets worth millions of dollars. In a similar vein, the scientific and technical translations we undertake are the basis for important research and business decisions. Quality is of vital importance in these areas.

Medical and Pharmaceutical Translation

Most of the work in 'medical translation' is done for the large pharmaceutical companies. We translate manuals, labels, and test and examination reports. When dealing with people's health, there can be no room for errors. Errors in this line of work can be fatal. That's why only doctor-linguists are competent for this line of work.

Legal Translation

Legal translation is one of the largest areas of our business. It stands to reason that any businessperson or individual must fully understand contracts they enter into, and we ensure that nothing is lost in the translation.

Translation for Marketing

Translation for marketing, or 'creative translation', requires a lot more attention to detail than you might think. When you employ a clever play-on-words, you are using your intimate understanding of language, and that of your fellow native language speakers, to humorous effect.

• Industrial concerns
