Standard Expert Translation
Expert using the support of AI if the client requests this
Legal, technical, medical or financial texts that require accurate mastering of industry terminology, style and practices.

It offers a translation by a native-speaking translator who is an expert in the subject matter and certified under the requirements of the EU UNE-EN17100:17100:2015 standard. AI is used as a supporting tool. During this process, translation memories are built and the terminology coordinated. Lastly, the translation undergoes a final quality check.
Double-Check Expert Translation
Two independent experts
Specialised projects, cross-disciplinary documents or orders where a mistake could entail considerable consequences.

Besides the service levels described above, it includes a second check and independent, expert proofreading. This service is for projects that need two rounds of proofreading or that combine several areas of expertise and, therefore, the collaboration of several professionals. The use of AI is determined depending on the project and customer instructions.
