Overview
We work with political and public affairs content, including briefings, speeches, policy documents and research. We clarify authorship, audience, context and official organisation names.
We distinguish quotations, the author’s position and editorial commentary. Dates, titles and disputed terms are checked against supplied sources. We do not strengthen or soften the argument without agreement.

How this work runs.
- 01
Brief and scope
We read the actual documents, confirm the purpose and audience, and return a fixed price and date. No estimate is issued from a word count alone.
- 02
Assignment
We assign a translator experienced in the subject. If you choose the revision tier, a second linguist is assigned for an independent review.
- 03
Translation
Drafting against your approved glossary and translation memory, with queries raised early rather than guessed at.
- 04
Revision
The translator checks the finished text. In the revision tier, a second linguist also compares accuracy, terminology, register and completeness against the source.
- 05
