Yes. We localize UI strings, error messages, and embedded help text alongside printed or PDF documentation in a single coordinated project.
Yes. We accept TMX and TBX files from any CAT tool platform. Leveraging your existing assets keeps costs down and ensures consistency with previous releases.
We work in Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase (formerly Memsource), and Smartcat as standard. Source formats handled directly include .docx, .indd/.idml, .xml, .xliff, .json, .resx, .properties, .po, FrameMaker .fm, and DITA or S1000D-tagged content.

Yes. Every translator signs an NDA before receiving project files. For sensitive material such as patents under preparation, pre-release automotive specifications, and defense-adjacent documentation, we apply additional safeguards: project compartmentalisation, no machine translation engines, encrypted transfer only, and an audit trail of document access. Multi-year NDAs and your standard supplier code of conduct are accepted on request.
