How We Work

Brand and content analysis, language strategy, translation and editing, proofreading and review. Four stages, one continuous process.

01 DISCOVERY

Brand and Content Analysis

We start by learning what a brand values, how it sounds, and who its words are meant to reach. Work begins only once we fully understand the message in the original and the intent behind it.

02 STRATEGY

Language Strategy

We read the cultural context of the target market and the linguistic instincts of its readers, then build an approach that goes beyond literal translation. The standards that will hold across the entire project are set before the first line is translated.

03 CREATION

Translation and Editing

Working from that strategy, we translate and edit so the brand’s narrative stays alive on the page. Translators and editors work in close collaboration to raise the quality of the finished text.

04 REFINEMENT

Proofreading and Review

We look past word choice and typos to the subtleties of tone and the work a punctuation mark does. A team-based review system catches the smallest details.
