Translation Services Berlin TechnologiesThe latest technology

We always work with the latest technology – especially when it comes to Computer-Aided Translation (CAT). This allows us to deliver highly accurate, linguistically consistent translations while also saving time and costs, utilizing a number of key advantages. The use of translation memories means we never need to translate frequently occurring fragments of text more than once. This makes translation projects faster and more cost-effective. CAT also allows us to apply consistent terminology management and writing styles – in any language and for all translation projects.
