The translations are usually paid by word. Words are counted from the text to translate. The agencies charge their customers a price which includes preparation of work and relationships with the manufacturer or his printer, coordination between translators and editors in different languages, quality control, ultimate responsibility. We work as subcontractors for international agencies. Our high level of specialization allows us to reach average speeds twice as fast as international civil servants, for example (about 5000 words / day instead of 2500). This allows us to accept competitive prices, starting from 0.06 € / word.

With a full guarantee of quality
The technical documentation requires accuracy for safety reasons, among others. The numerical values and their needed conversion, the right word for the part, an unambiguous style are of utmost importance. We translate abridged messages that appear on the screen of diagnostic devices and are incomprehensible for a layman. Our specialization allows us to promise that essential quality that is out of range of general translators : today they receive medicine, fashion tomorrow, day after reports of the Board. And who knows, today, automotive ...

In absolute respect for deadlines
The delays are the bane of translation agencies and outsourcers in general. Because too many good translators mismanage their time and deliver late. They are placed on "black list" but it's too late. The manufacturer needed textbooks to deliver its vehicles, it is prevented and losing money. The agency may loose the customer. We know that and we deliver on time or ahead, sometimes working nights and weekends.
