DEFENCE

In a mission briefing,
there is no second reading.

From military maintenance manuals to engineering specifications, one mistranslated instruction compromises the mission, delays certifications or puts lives at risk. We operate at your level of precision, and of confidentiality.

Frequently asked questions

Q1Do you work with confidential documents and professional secrecy?
Yes, every day, and it is the rule rather than the exception. Your documents are handled under confidentiality agreements that bind the entire chain: where you require it, we work only with named linguists you have approved; and linguists are contractually barred from using public machine translation tools without our consent.
Q2How do you guarantee accuracy in mission-critical documents?
We work with aerospace and defence subject-matter experts, ISO 17100 certified processes, sample-based LQA and, on request, back-translation for rules of engagement or safety procedures.
Q3Do you handle technical formats such as CAD and engineering diagrams?
Yes. We translate and localise technical drawings, diagrams and schematics while preserving the original formatting.
