How do we do it?

Formats

We will deliver the translation in the format you need

Whether it is a simple text or has a more complex layout, we will adapt to your needs

Languages

We translate from the language you need into the language you need

We have a broad network of translators of many languages (European Union languages as well as others)

Delivery dates

We will deliver the work by the deadline you set

When you request a piece of work, we will agree on the delivery date with you

Quality

We will guarantee language quality

Our translators only translate into their mother tongues. A corrector checks all the translations. We have a language quality team to update language criteria from time to time; they include three associate members of the Royal Academy of the Basque Language, expert translators and terminologists.

Monitoring

You will have the cost of the work and all its phases under your control at all times

Through the ItzulpenFlow web application, you will be able to control all the phases from the moment you request an estimate until you receive the translation
