Client checklists

We understand it can be intimidating when you approach a translation agency for the first time. That’s why we’ve created this set of checklists, so you know what you need to have ready.

Whether you’re planning a translation project, need help with interpreting, or planning a voiceover session, it helps to be prepared. When you contact us and know what you need, this helps us give you a faster, more accurate quotation. Enter the bullet-pointed client checklist.

These checklists can help you gather the information you need so we can quickly generate an accurate quote for your project.

Of course, we can also help if you’re not sure what you need. Get in touch and we can talk you through it.

Abridging and abstracting

Abridging and abstracting involves condensing, summarising and shortening your text to achieve a particular target length, using features such as Track Changes to indicate where the changes have been made.

They just speak English, right, with a few funny spellings? Well, almost, but not quite. You may need our Americanisation service.

Brand checking

Different countries and cultures, political leanings and societies will react differently to your branding and marketing messages. Ensure that they make sense, that they are ‘acceptable’ across the local spectrum, and that they will have the right impact with the right audience.

Business card translation

A business card is a gesture of courtesy. Having the appropriate information in the host language is an effective way to make that gesture positive. It’s a statement that the card giver has made an effort to show respect for the language and culture of the host country.

Court Interpreting

All our court interpreters are highly experienced and skilled in this arena.
