Frequently Asked Questions

A professional translator takes a written document in one language and accurately renders it into another, while maintaining the original meaning, tone, and intent. This isn't the same as word-for-word substitution – it's about clear, fluent, culturally appropriate communication.

Machine translation tools have improved, but they often miss context, nuance, and industry-specific language. In fields like law and finance, precision matters, and even small mistakes can have serious consequences. This also applies to using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude as translation tools.
