The path from file to finished document
How How to Choose Translation Quality Level is handled here, with the receiving institution's rules called out.
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.
Send the file and get a written scope
We review the document, confirm the language pair and the receiving institution, then send pricing and turnaround in writing.
