Translations have a purpose: to get you more customers or convey factual information.

Using Google Translate might seem like a free option, but if your translated documents read like gobbledygook, your readers will either be baffled or switch off.

At the lower end of the translation market, you could end up with translations that are so stilted and awkward, that the meaning is lost.

At the top-end, highly skilled translators combine subject-specialism with skills in technical writing or copywriting. The results are highly polished documents that can stand alone in their own right.

So don’t skimp on your translation budget– put as much time and effort into the translation process as you did with the original copy.

After all, your words matter.
