Translation bureau

Every term, exactly as intended.

Contracts, manuals and specifications, and most other B2B content besides. Translated by linguists who have already worked on that kind of document, with most quotes back within the hour.

The last five percent is where the money goes.

Machine output and generalist translators get you most of the way. The remainder is where a contract clause quietly changes meaning, a product string overflows its button, and a campaign line lands as a joke in the wrong register.

English, from a marketing page

We have got you covered.

Translated literally

Wir haben Sie abgedeckt.

Grammatical, and wrong. In German this says you have been covered over, the way a tarpaulin covers a car.

Translated for meaning

Sie sind bei uns bestens aufgehoben.

What the line was actually for. Reads as reassurance, which is what the English promised.

Five kinds of content, each with its own failure mode.

  • Technical documentation

    Manuals, specifications, safety sheets and maintenance guides, with a terminology base kept per client so wording stays stable across releases.

    Terminology base kept

  • Legal and contracts

    Agreements, terms, privacy notices and filings, delivered with a signed certificate of accuracy where one is required.

    Certificate of accuracy

  • Marketing and brand

    Campaign lines, brand voice, landing pages and email. Transcreated rather than translated when a literal version would fall flat.

    Voice guide included

  • Websites and apps

    UI strings, onboarding, error states and help centres. Delivered in your file format with placeholders and length limits respected.

    JSON, XLIFF, PO, CSV

  • Ecommerce catalogues

    Product titles, descriptions and attributes at volume, with search terms adapted to how people actually shop in each market.

    Feed ready

Three moves between your file and a finished translation.

  1. Same day

    Send the files

    Upload anything readable. We return a fixed quote and a delivery date, or tell you plainly that we are the wrong fit.

  2. 2 to 5 days

    An experienced specialist translates

    One translator, chosen because they have already worked on documents like yours. The same person stays on your account.

  3. Before delivery

    A second linguist reviews

    A separate reviewer checks meaning, terminology and register against the source, then signs off. Nothing ships on one pair of eyes.

The second pass

What the reviewer actually catches.

Every Reviewed and Certified job goes to a second, independent linguist before delivery. Below is one paragraph of a supply agreement with the reviewer's marks left in.

German, from a supply agreement

Der Auftragnehmer haftet nicht fürschließt die Haftung aus bei Schäden, die durch grobe Fahrlässigkeiteinfache Fahrlässigkeit verursacht werden, soweit gesetzlich zulässig.

What the second linguist caught

The first version excluded liability for gross negligence. In German standard terms that exclusion is void, so the clause would not have survived a challenge — and the client would have discovered it at the worst possible moment. One word, and the paragraph stops doing its job.

Pricing

Priced per word, fixed once quoted.

Repeated content is discounted rather than billed twice.

We fix the last five percent.

Machine output is usually close. What it misses is the clause that quietly changed meaning, the term that drifted halfway through, and the line that reads as a translation rather than as your brand. We edit it into something you can publish.

0.06per word

  • Full post-editing, not a light clean-up
  • The result reads as human translation
  • Same subject-experienced translators
  • Your file format returned

If the machine output is too poor to bring up to standard economically, we tell you before we start and requote it as a translation. You are never billed post-editing rates for work that was really a retranslation.

Send us the file

Send us something to translate.

Attach the file or describe it in a sentence. You get a fixed price and a delivery date, usually within the hour.

Translate into optional

PDF, DOCX or XLSX, up to 10 MB. Do not send anything unpublished before we have a confidentiality agreement in place.

Nothing unpublished should be attached before an NDA is in place. Say so here and one comes back the same day.
