Can you work directly from our CAD drawings or source files, not just plain text?
Yes — send manuals, datasheets or drawings in their native format and we translate in place, preserving tables, callouts and layout.
How do you handle units of measure and tolerances?
We check them against your source rather than converting by guesswork, and lock them to your own glossary if you have one.
Do you translate patent applications?
Yes, including claims — patent-register precision with terminology locked to your source drawings, priced per word like our other technical work.
What if we already have a glossary or style guide?
Send it and we apply it from the first page. If you don't have one, we build one as part of the engagement and hand it back to you.
