Unique Services

We pride ourselves on rendering documents in highly technical and complex fields into the target language, using plain and understandable language to ensure that the meaning is clear to the audience and the translation is a true and correct reflection of the source language. In this regard our standard work procedure has always been to:

  • make use of reliable terminology sources and other resource material;
  • work together with the industry to create and standardise new terminology based on the orthography and spelling rules laid down by the Pan-South African Language Board (PanSALB) and the National Language Service of the Department of Arts and Culture;
  • have a team performing a thorough quality check to ensure the correctness of translations, which goes a long way to provide assurance to our clients as to the quality, correctness and consistency of translated documents delivered; and
  • share our clients’ sense of urgency — all work is delivered within the time frames specified and agreed upon.
