We match each project to translators with the right subject knowledge and confirm feasibility before we accept it.

Core language: English, Chinese to English and English to Chinese, across all areas of law. Our English translator pool is large and highly qualified, which is why we handle very large and urgent projects with confidence.
Strong languages: Japanese, German, Korean, French, Spanish. Translators are highly qualified but fewer in number, so we confirm timing before accepting a project.
Other languages: Arabic and other languages on request. When you need one of these, we do our best to find a solution.

What you can expect once a project is agreed.

Terminology, formatting, splitting and merging, and review are coordinated across the team, so a hundred-page agreement reads as one voice.
