Where Complete USCIS Translation Checklist fits, and the parts we cannot confirm without seeing the file.
Intake and scope
Scope, format, deadline and glossary are agreed in writing at intake, so nothing is renegotiated later and the brief is fully documented.
Terminology preparation
A project glossary is locked before drafting, so sector terms stay consistent across the whole file and future revisions.
Translation
A domain translator drafts your file against the locked glossary, preserving layout, register and the exact wording of the source.
Second-reader review
A separate linguist verifies terminology, numbers, dates and names line by line, never the original translator.
Formatting and delivery
Fonts, tables, headers and numbering are rebuilt to match the source, and the final file is checked against it before it ships.
