Human Translation Services
When content presentation and style is your main concern, human translation by a native professional is the only choice.
The selected translator will be familiar with the field, and will do research when required. All translated text is checked by a second native reviewer to make sure the translation is correct and free of both spelling and grammatical errors.
Your best choice for:
- marketing and sales materials
- presentations and brand communication
- sensitive or legally relevant content
All projects are subject to a review by a second native linguist and internal QA.
AI-Assisted Localization and Post-Editing (MTPE)
AI-assisted localization combines machine translation with professional human post-editing. Translation proposals are generated using large language models and refined through power editing by a native specialist, followed by review by an independent native reviewer. This approach is optimized for:
- high-volume documentation
- repetitive or regularly updated content
- time-critical localization workflows
The process delivers high throughput while maintaining controlled quality through ISO-compliant review and QA stages. Our AI solutions make active use of Client Glossaries with preferred terminology and can also make use of existing Translation Memories for maximum unification across projects.
Translation Memory and Glossary Creation
We extract and normalize verified bilingual content into a translation memory, and define approved terminology in a glossary (your preferred terms, forbidden variants, product names, abbreviations, and usage notes) so all future localization outputs follow one consistent standard and cost less.
This approach is ideal for:
- recurring technical documentation
- multiple authors or teams producing content over time
- organizations that want consistent terminology across languages and releases
The resources can be delivered as a one-off setup or maintained on a monthly basis to keep terminology aligned as the documentation evolves.

In-house localization process optimization
We help teams improve how they translate and manage multilingual content in-house.
Our consultants review your current workflow, tools, and terminology resources, identify bottlenecks and quality risks, and recommend practical changes—such as standardizing review steps, improving hand-offs or translation memory and glossary use—so your team can localize faster with better consistency.
This service is ideal for:
- in-house teams with ad-hoc or fragmented workflows
- companies with frequent releases and recurring documentation
- organizations that need predictable quality without outsourcing every job
Translation Quality Assurance (Ask!)
We pursue the Kaizen philosophy of constant improvement.
Ask! is our direct online channel for resolving translation questions and language concerns quickly, with input from a native professional who can explain the issue and recommend the safest wording.
A poor translation can damage your product communication, weaken your brand, and in the worst case be misunderstood and create product liability risk. Ask! helps prevent that by giving you fast, accountable answers when something in a project looks unclear, inconsistent, or risky.
When needed, we can also run targeted checks against your terminology and QA rules to confirm that the proposed wording aligns with your documentation standards and thus avoiding embarrasing errors.
