The key to the quality of our translations is our team of experienced and specialised translators. All our translators have over 10 years’ professional experience in the field. They systematically check and revise all documents to ensure the quality of texts before delivery. We complete an assessment sheet with detailed information on the types of errors encountered. All translations are cross-checked following our double-check policy.
