  • Correction at no charge if something's wrong
  • Files handled under GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018

Frequently asked questions

Can you translate a whole documentation set, not just one manual?
Yes — this is where the service is strongest. One glossary is built and applied across every document in the set.
Do you handle diagrams and embedded text?
We translate the text content of manuals, specs, and drawings; layout and DTP work is scoped separately if your files need re-typesetting after translation.
How do you keep units and part numbers consistent?
Through the same maintained glossary used across the whole set — checked by the second linguist against it, not just against the sentence in front of them.
Can this be used for CE marking or regulatory submission?
We translate the documentation accurately and consistently; confirming whether it meets a specific regulatory submission's requirements is your compliance team's call.
What if our manuals get updated regularly?
Tell us — we keep the glossary current so updates are translated against the same terminology as the original release.
