We take pride in the high quality of our services, a fact affirmed not only by the caliber of our clients but also by the positive feedback we receive.

We specialize in large-scale projects within the oil and gas, power engineering, and construction industries. Our company is continually expanding its portfolio by attracting highly qualified translators and editors every month. Our team consists of 48 full-time and over 1,000 freelance professionals with an average experience of 17 years. Every second team member has a technical education, ensuring professionalism and a deep understanding of industry-specific nuances.

When choosing a translation company, it is crucial to prioritize quality over cost. Our agency stands out among thousands of competitors by striving to provide not just a translation but a well-adapted, high-quality content. Many promise low prices, but often their work results in translations riddled with semantic and terminological errors. Unlike them, we guarantee that your text will be not only accurately translated but also stylistically appropriate, considering the cultural and contextual nuances of the target audience. Choose us if you value results.

We continuously optimize and enhance our workflows, successfully implementing the latest industry technologies. If our principles and values resonate with you, let's collaborate.

Why Don’t We List Rates on Our Website?

  • Individual Approach

    On many translation company websites, listed rates are merely starting points and can significantly change during the negotiation process, depending on the complexity and urgency of the task, as well as additional services. We prefer to avoid this practice, offering instead to prepare a personalized commercial proposal for each project.

  • Transparent Terms

    For clients, knowing the final cost of services is always more important than knowing the rates. We take into account repetitions and matches with translation memory in the documents submitted for evaluation, which is only possible after reviewing the texts. Additionally, the final cost of the translation can differ significantly from the preliminary estimate upon project completion.

  • Focus on Large Projects

    We specialize in providing translation services for large-scale technological projects and primarily work with legal entities. Our average project involves thousands of pages of documentation, requiring an individual approach to preparing a commercial proposal.

  • Unified Pricing

    Unlike other agencies, we do not use varying pricing for our services. Our goal is to provide clients with high-quality translations without them having to worry about the number of specialists involved in the work.

We have prepared a detailed article with tips on how to choose translation agency services correctly. You can read it on this page.

Quality System

We have developed our own project management system, which guarantees the high quality of our services. When it is necessary to translate multi-page documents in a short time, collective work must be organized precisely—like an assembly line in a car factory. Therefore, we have a well-established project management procedure.

We pay attention to details as if someone's life depends on it. In our work, we use the latest technologies and text processing methods: expanding glossaries of terms and applying CAT tools. As a result, the final product is an authentic translation that maintains terminological and stylistic consistency.

Our quality system has been developed over many years of working on a wide variety of projects. Now we can confidently say that we are capable of solving any translation task set before us.

Quality System

92 / 100% — the quality index of our services according to Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: we ranked first, ahead of 11 other companies
