How I work
Terminology-controlled
Documented QA on every delivery. The project termbase ships with the files. Proof of method, every time.
Deadlines that hold
Honest commitments, same-business-day responses, phased delivery on large volumes.
One translator, one voice
Also on 80,000-word projects. No silent outsourcing, ever.
Urgent peaks and multi-language projects
Surge capacity
For urgent peaks I keep same-day and weekend capacity available, up to 30,000 words by 9am when a deadline demands it. Surge work runs at a priority premium, never discounted.
Beyond my own pairs
For multi-language projects beyond my own pairs, my production company LinguaNox takes over: one contact, documented QA, major European targets.
