What the agency translates
Specialist texts
translated by specialists
Technical documents, business letters, patents and contracts, as well as specialist texts in medicine, advertising and industry, are translated by qualified translators with experience in the field.
Translations are prepared in current CAT software such as SDL Trados. It keeps terminology consistent across documents and lowers the cost of larger projects with repeated content.
Interpreting is also available: simultaneous interpreting at symposia, seminars and conferences, and consecutive interpreting at business meetings.
