SERVICES & PRICING

Unlike other translation companies, who maintain a database of hundreds of translators in various languages, we are a highly specialized team of less than 20 professional translators. Almost every member of our team works full-time as a translator, and all of us have many years of experience in translation. This experience spans a wide range of technical and business fields, including pharmaceutical, information technology, video transcription/subtitling, instruction manual localization, etc.
