Translation and localisation data services

Language data that reads like it was written there, in every language pair your product ships in.

What translation and localisation means here

Machine translation gets the words right and the register wrong. A model trained on literal pairs learns literal habits, and users in the target market notice immediately.

We translate into the translator's first language, within their subject area, and have a second linguist review independently. Terminology is held in a glossary the tool enforces, so a product name does not change halfway through a dataset.

What we can take on

  • Parallel corpora

    Aligned source and target segments by domain and language pair, built to your coverage plan.

  • Document translation

    Policies, help content, catalogues and clinical text, translated and reviewed by domain linguists.

  • Localisation

    UI strings, product copy and campaigns adapted for a region, not only converted word for word.

  • Multilingual prompt data

    Instructions and dialogues written natively in each language rather than machine-translated.

  • Translation evaluation

    Human scoring of machine translation output for adequacy, fluency and terminology.

  • Rare and low-resource languages

    Sourcing and qualifying translators where few vendors operate.

The types of translation and localisation we run

The full breakdown, not the headline categories. Anything not on this list is a scoping call away.

Translation. General and domain-specific text, Legal, financial and medical translation, Conversational and chat translation, Subtitles and dubbing scripts, Technical documentation.

Localisation. App and software UI strings, Product catalogues and listings, Marketing and campaign copy, Help centre and support content, Regional variants of one language.

Dataset building. Parallel sentence and paragraph pairs, Translation memories, Glossaries and term bases, Back-translation sets, Multilingual instruction data.

Evaluation. Adequacy and fluency scoring, Terminology consistency checks, Side-by-side system comparison, Post-editing effort measurement.

The forms the data takes

What you actually receive: file types, structure and the metadata that travels with it.

Parallel corpora
Aligned source and target segments in TMX, XLIFF, CSV or JSONL.
Translation memories
Reusable segment pairs for your localisation tools.
Localised content
UI strings, help articles and marketing text adapted for a region.
Multilingual prompts
Instruction and dialogue data written natively, not machine-translated.
Back-translation checks
A second pass that surfaces meaning drift in the first.
Glossaries
Approved term lists per language pair.

How the data is collected

From the first brief to the batch you receive, step by step.

  1. 01

    Source text from you, or written for you

    We translate content you supply, or we commission source text to a brief so a parallel dataset has controlled coverage.

  2. 02

    Translated by native professionals

    Linguists translate into their first language, in their subject area, with a second linguist reviewing independently.

  3. 03

    Terminology controlled

    A glossary and style guide per project are enforced in the tool, so product names and domain terms stay consistent across thousands of segments.

  4. 04

    Aligned and checked

    Segments are aligned to the source, and automatic checks flag omissions, numbers that changed and untranslated text.

  5. 05

    Reviewed in context

    A native reviewer reads the result for fluency and tone, and post-editing distance is tracked so you can see how much needed fixing.

How a project runs

  1. 01

    Scoping call

    We agree volume, languages, demographic quotas, formats and what counts as a rejected item.

  2. 02

    Guidelines and gold set

    Written guidelines with worked examples, plus a gold set every contributor is tested against.

  3. 03

    Pilot batch

    A small paid batch you accept before anything scales. Most guideline problems surface here.

  4. 04

    Production

    Work flows through capture checks, automated QC, peer review and expert review.

  5. 05

    Delivery

    Incremental batches in your format with a data card, QA report and agreement scores.

  6. 06

    Iteration

    Rejections feed back into the guidelines so the same mistake is not made twice.

How quality is checked

Checks that run during the work, not a sample at the end.

  • Native-language translators with domain experience
  • Independent second-linguist review on every batch
  • Glossary and style-guide enforcement in the tool
  • Automatic checks for omissions, numbers and untranslated text
  • Post-editing distance reported per language pair

Industries that use it

Where teams bring us translation and localisation, and what they use it for.

Why teams pick us for translation and localisation

  • Native, in-domain translators

    Translators work into their first language and in subjects they know, not across the whole dictionary.

  • Second-linguist review

    Every batch is read independently before it reaches you.

  • Terminology that holds

    A glossary enforced in the tool keeps names and terms consistent across a whole dataset.

  • Variants handled properly

    Regional variants are separate targets with their own reviewers, not one language with a footnote.

Start with a pilot batch of translation and localisation.

A small paid batch against your real guidelines, priced up front. You accept it before we scale.

Questions we get asked

Which languages do you cover?

A large share of Indian languages and most major world languages are covered by our own network. For a rare pair we scope recruitment first and tell you the timeline before you commit.

Do you use machine translation?

Only as a first draft where a client's guidelines allow it, always followed by a human translator and a second reviewer. Fully machine-translated output is never delivered as human translation.

Can you work in our localisation tool?

Yes. We work in your tool under your access controls, or in ours, and deliver TMX, XLIFF or your own format.
