Yes, all translations are carried out by professional linguists who are native speakers of your target language.

We have a pool of over 2,000 carefully selected native-speaking linguists, each with specialized industry knowledge. Every translator in our database goes through rigorous preliminary testing, including a portfolio review and a translation test. Only 2.5% of applicants pass the selection process and proceed to work on our clients' projects.

We provide translation services in over 120 languages, including not just the widely spoken ones like English, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, and Spanish but also rare languages and dialects.

We can find a translator in almost any language that you need.

For each project, we handpick translators who specialize in the required domain. Our localization managers consider the training and professional background of translators to ensure the best match between project needs and the translator's qualifications.

We typically assign one or more translators to your project and maintain a consistent working relationship with them. This is beneficial if you have large projects with periodic updates or simply prefer a specific translator's style. In the rare event of a translator change, we provide the glossary and translation memory to the new translator so that the project remains consistent in terminology and style.

Our translators are well-versed in various design languages, technologies, and platforms. Whether it's translating a mobile app, a Wix or WordPress site, or providing continuous website content translation for Magento, Shopify, Salesforce, and other e-commerce projects, translators on your project will be familiar with the platform requirements.

Our translators aren't just native speakers of a language. They're experts in the specific language variant of your target market. For example, for Canadian French, we'll assign a native French translator who grew up in Canada and understands its unique sociocultural context.

We follow a multi-step internal quality assurance process for our translation projects. This includes quality checkpoints throughout the entire project, regular quality assessments of our translators, analysis of client feedback, and the use of a specialized platform for quality checking.

In the rare instances of an inaccuracy in the translation, we correct the mistake at our expense, conduct an analysis to understand why the error occurred, and implement measures to prevent such errors from happening in the future.

We use translation memory and glossaries to maintain consistency in your brand's tone, terminology, and messaging across all localized sites. This approach guarantees uniformity, even if multiple translators work on your project or if there's a change in the team. Here's how these tools work:

Translation memory is a database that stores existing, approved translations for each segment of text, making it possible to automatically reuse already-translated content.

Translation memory allows you to:

• Ensure consistency of terminology across an entire project
• Improve the quality of translation by leveraging previously approved translations
• Change translators mid-project without sacrificing consistency
• Save time by automatically inserting translated repetitions
• Boost the efficiency of your translation team

Each client's account has a confidential translation memory. All data is stored securely.

A glossary helps maintain project consistency across languages. It's a special dictionary with definitions, translations, and usage examples of key product/industry terms. This dictionary can be used within an automatic translation tool to expedite the translation process and ensure consistency of terminology across one or more texts. The use of a glossary makes it possible to assign multiple translators to a project and provides flexibility in changing translators during the process if needed.

If there is no glossary, we can create one from scratch.

Our translators are native speakers with at least two years of experience in localization and a deep understanding of your target market's culture. As professional bilingual linguists, our translators are skilled at providing the most appropriate translation for the culture and context, which can go beyond literal translation. They propose translations that will sound local and natural to your target audience. Importantly, these translations are crafted to be respectful and appropriate within the political, economic, and cultural context of the market you're entering. If there's ever any ambiguity in interpreting the source text, translators proactively engage with you to clarify the context.

We provide a range of service levels to match your needs:

The cost of your translation project depends on several key factors, including the language pair (source and target), text volume, amount of repeated content (available in a Translation Memory), and service level.

We offer flexible service levels so you can balance costs based on the type of content. For non-critical content, we provide cost-effective machine translation post-editing (MTPE), where we select the best engine for each language and have a human translator review the text for accuracy. For critical, customer-facing content, we offer fully human translation and/or transcreation, as well as international SEO services.

For our pay-as-you-go model, translation costs are calculated per 1,000 characters (spaces included). HTML tags are excluded when calculating text volume. There are no subscriptions, so you only pay for the work completed.

Pricing varies by language. We work with native-speaking translators who live in the target cultures and compensate them fairly based on the cost of living in their country. Rates may also vary depending on the language's rarity or the project's complexity.

Lastly, we offer volume discounts for larger projects. The more content you need to translate, the more you can save.
