What Our Clients Say

“Reliable, trustworthy and customer-centric This is the summation of Michael, Suzy and their team of translators. I have worked with them for over a year, and they have been my translation service for advertising in many European languages - from Swedish to German to Russian, and not always from English! Consider them a rare find.”

Common Questions

Portuguese Technical Translation: Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We have specialist translators for both variants. For technical documentation, the differences are primarily in terminology conventions for specific industries, which we manage through client-specific glossaries.

Yes. Our Brazilian technical translators are familiar with ABNT (Associacao Brasileira de Normas Tecnicas) standards and the specific terminology used in Brazilian technical compliance documents.

We use dedicated project teams, CAT tools, and centralized terminology management. For ongoing programs, we assign a permanent team to build deep institutional knowledge of your products.

We work in Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase, and Smartcat as standard. Source formats handled directly include .docx, .indd/.idml, .xml, .xliff, .json, .resx, .po, FrameMaker .fm, and DITA or S1000D-tagged content. For Brazilian clients using ABNT-mandated documentation formats we work either through your TMS hooks or with a one-time roundtrip export. Existing TMX and TBX glossary assets are integrated to reduce cost and maintain consistency with previous releases.

Yes. Every translator signs an NDA before receiving project files. For sensitive material such as patents under preparation, unreleased product specifications, or proprietary agricultural or energy technology, 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.
