Quality to match your translation needs
You wouldn’t want to wait or pay for a specialist certified translator just to get the gist of a web chat. Nor would you want to use raw Machine Translation to translate an instruction manual for a surgical instrument!
We’ve developed a range of levels, allowing customers to pick which one best meets their needs for given projects. Our technology is uniquely placed to build the workflows to deliver these levels and to apply quality checks to validate that the quality essentials have been met.
