Translation

UNICUL's "translation" is more than mere language conversion. We craft communication tools that deliver your message in the target language.

Translation needs vary widely by client and project. One request may be "for an important letter to a client — render the Japanese nuances accurately and finish to print-ready quality." Another may be "I just need to grasp the gist of the materials quickly, so skip the fine nuances and turn it around in Japanese fast."

UNICUL confirms the outcome you need and the purpose of the translation, then proposes the optimal service. Because we cover 70 languages, you can also order a single source document translated into multiple languages at once.

Standard Translation

This service includes the following process:

  1. Translation
  2. Grammar / style check by a native speaker of the target language
  3. Comparison of the translation with the original to check for mistranslations and omissions
  4. Delivery

(Steps 1 and 2 may also be handled by the same native speaker.)
