The craft of translation is a science and an art form. Knowing the languages and technical areas that you specialize in takes research and practice. But translation is also a form of writing, a literary skill. Understanding the meaning of something in a foreign language is one thing; being able to render that meaning succinctly and eloquently is quite another.
We are unique as a translation company because our translators are first and foremost great writers. Most of our staff have advanced degrees in languages and literature, which gives them a keen insight into the subtleties of a particular language. In short, we don't just hire translators with proven language skills. We hire only accomplished writers. It is for this reason that we count among our staff Ph.D's, journalists, editors, copy writers, technical writers, and instructional designers.
