All File Formats

Covers all file formats without restructuring the source document.

All Document Types

Anything that depends on the recipient is confirmed in writing before we begin.

Step 01

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.

Step 02

Terminology preparation

A project glossary is locked before drafting, so sector terms stay consistent across the whole file and future revisions.

Step 03

Translation

A domain translator drafts your file against the locked glossary, preserving layout, register and the exact wording of the source.

Step 04

Second-reader review

A separate linguist verifies terminology, numbers, dates and names line by line, never the original translator.

Step 05

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.

Common questions

Answers are limited to what we can confirm at intake.

Can all file formats be done from a scan or photo?
Scans and phone photos are accepted for most documents. If legibility is a problem we tell you what to re-shoot rather than guessing at the text.
Can all document types be done from a scan or photo?
We do not publish a fixed price for this because the work varies. After intake you get a written figure that does not change unless the document set changes.
How is all languages handled?
Send the file and the destination requirement if you have it. We check whether the layout can be kept, whether certification or notarisation is needed, and reply with a written scope.
What do you need from me for all industries?
Turnaround is confirmed at intake, not estimated here. Standard documents usually run in days; anything needing a third party takes longer and we say so before you commit.
What does ocr & scanning technology cost?
It depends on the language pair and the document set. We review the file, confirm the receiving institution's requirements, then send the scope and the date in writing →nothing is quoted from a template.
Who reviews quality & security before it is sent?
It depends on the language pair and the document set. We review the file, confirm the receiving institution's requirements, then send the scope and the date in writing →nothing is quoted from a template.
