SERVICES
Translations with a professional
yet personal touch.
Every text has its own personality, but this is often lost in standardised translations. We refer to ourselves as a boutique translation agency because we specialise in carefully capturing every single layer of a text and meticulously transferring each of these into our tailored translations,
whichever language they may be in. Of course, we use state-of-the-art translation technology to assist in this process. However, the final product is completed by hand, or rather by brainpower!
A single translation agency
with multiple specialisms.
An international team of highly qualified linguists is on hand to help you throughout the entire process. They are responsible for coordinating all of your projects and selecting the best translator for each individual text from our global network of over 200 freelancers. What’s more, both our in-house team and our freelancers work exclusively into their native language.
Our team also reviews the final texts to make sure that your original message still shines through.
Specialised translation
Specialised texts are translated into the target language and proofread by a second linguist (four-eyes principle).
Transcreation
Marketing texts have their message tailored to the target culture to appeal to the target audience.
Proofreading/Editing
Texts are proofread for accuracy and edited for style in the source language and target languages.
Proofreading of a final print version
The texts undergo a final check in their intended layout before they are sent to print.
Subtitling
Subtitles with timecodes are created and translated into your desired target language.
Foreign-language voice-overs
The audio content of your videos is translated into your desired target language and a voice-over is provided by a native speaker.
Post-editing
Editing of machine translations

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
We translate your message,
not just your words.
We convey the meaning behind your texts and are familiar with the cultural and linguistic particularities of your target audience.
We use as much technology as necessary and as much brain power
as possible.
Consistency and efficiency are essential, which is why we use the latest translation technology. However, this is only for assistance – our brains do the real work.
We find the right tone
to speak to your audience's hearts
as well as their heads.
Qualified, experienced linguists with industry knowledge instinctively read between the lines and really bring the intended message across in your translations.
Personality is important –
texts are full of life too.
Your personal project manager is always there to help you and oversees your project with great care and attention.
Our efficiency is only surpassed
by our precision.
We excel at managing our time well, handling projects efficiently and meeting deadlines without letting the thoroughness or precision of our work suffer. You can rely on us.
