	Thanks guys! Original documents are available on request. These testimonials underline the effort our technical translation puts in to mastering your sector. So as well as their own languages, we enure our technical translators understand yours.
	We have built an excellent global technical translation network, and have a superb track record of on-time delivery in this demanding sector covering manuals, datasheets, specifications, exhibitions, contracts, tenders, presentations, brochures and more in Quark, Excel, Powerpoint, HTML/XML, InDesign, and Illustrator as well as audiovisual product. Our unique database provides instant access to previous customer/sector technical translation, immediately identifying optimal technical translator(s) for your requirement.
	Technical translation demands accuracy. Our diligent research ensures currency of terminology, and we will liaise with you on jargon and preferences to optimise translation. We carefully brief our technical translators, supporting them throughout with prompt and accurate research and terminology assistance and liaising effectively between translator and client on queries. The result is better and more cost-effective technical translation, time after time.
	Technical translation also demands consistency. By tracking the technical translators we use for you, and archiving every project we've ever done to instantly access your earlier technical translation, we keep style and terminology as consistent as possible so your product retains continuity. Where appropriate we will also manage a glossary of terminology we will agree and maintain with you.
	All of which can be wasted if the product doesn't look the business. To ensure you achieve the greatest impact we also offer expert multilingual typesetting services in Quark, InDesign and other DTP packages - you can see some examples on our Typesetting and DTP page, here. To complete our technical translation service we also provide a full video voiceover and subtitling service.
	TOTAL LIFETIME COST Like every other technical purchase, technical translation has a Total Lifetime Cost. Professional buyers know not to purchase the cheapest fasteners or paint available, because the cheapest option usually has a much dearer long-term cost over the product lifetime - be it in reputation, reliability, service life, lost customers or worse. Cheap technical translation also often costs far more in the long term - from at best loss of credibility or sales, through to loss of life or worse if a key instruction is incorrectly translated. "Cheap" can prove extremely expensive; so we use only translators we trust, not the cheapest. No-one can guarantee perfection all the time, but with nearly 20 years experience and repeat, highly-complimentary technical translation clients we're certainly one of your better options.
	Point taken. OK, I may technically be interested in your translation. Can I get a quote?
