This is our “two pair of eyes” option. It adds an additional safety net to those specially complex or sensitive texts by involving the use of two linguists. If you’re worried that your translation isn’t being checked by anyone on your side, choose this option – we translate, review with a second linguist and then perform an internal QA check before the document reaches you.

- Terminology research
- Proofreading by a second linguist
- Internal QA
- Full Project Management
- Output: 1,500 words per day/ translator/ proofreader team

Our creative option is the bespoke option and is suitable for marketing material where the scope of the work goes beyond that of standard translation.
