Nobody's born an expert!
Accounts, balance sheets and financial reports require a very specific skill set.
We can guarantee use of the right terminology thanks to our long-term experience in this sector and the fact that we create specialist glossaries and translation memories to ensure consistency of terminology, constantly updating them as the sector moves on.
To name but a few, we translate texts on economics and finance for the EU Directorate-General for Translation, balance sheets and financial reports for major listed Italian and overseas companies, financial press articles, companies register listings and corporate reports.

Do all contracts, deeds and certificates look the same to you?
Anything but! These are texts that require absolute attention to detail and specialist legal knowledge.
Just imagine the problems caused and expenses incurred if just one clause in a contract is incorrectly translated or rendered ambiguous.
Our translators are qualified to produce sworn translations and authenticated texts for businesses, professionals and private individuals, always in compliance with the rules for the country of use.

Industry demands a vast array of technical translation, each with its own individual language and style.
Whether the translation is for manufacturers of eyewear, machinery of any type, electronic equipment, health and beauty and cosmetic products, each industry creates its own linguistic niche requiring SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE of that particular field. To produce high-quality technical translations, translators must have that specialist knowledge.
How many times have we opened a user's manual for some piece of equipment only to find that the text in our language is total gobbledygook, clearly produced by someone with no idea how it actually works?
This could not be a worse advert for the manufacturer of that product.

Marketing is all about image, and that image is not created by a logo alone but, first and foremost, by the words that communicate brand-value.
Undoubtedly you put a massive effort into presenting your products or services, giving them maximum market-appeal, but all this can go awry if the communicative effect of those words is not just lost, but destroyed in translation.
Marketing in a different language means marketing to a different culture, and while a little "local colour" is fine, metaphors and cultural references that mean nothing to your target market are not.
Marketing demands translators with an intimate knowledge of that target culture and the skills to "transcreate" your message in terms of content and style.

Technical terminology is the common language of any company or business.
The technical terms used to describe a product or service are an essential part of its image and must be effective, appropriate and, above all, consistent over time.
It is therefore vital to collect all this terminology together in specialist glossaries and translation memories to ensure that consistency is maintained, thus reinforcing the identity and exclusivity of the product or service in question.
Engaging in direct dialogue with the customer is an enormous plus point as we can work together on creating an image that will conquer foreign markets.

We provide translation and interpreting services in the main European languages – English, German, French, Spanish and Italian and in other combinations on request.
In addition to providing quality translation, our mission is to stress the importance of translation as an essential professional service meeting the daily communicative needs of companies, private individuals and professionals in today's globalised economy.
Quality translation requires the highest professional standards, each word and phrase to be treated with the utmost care.
INTRODUCING MYSELF
My name is Caterina Bedon and it has always been my dream to be a translator.
I am a graduate of Italy's number one school of translation and interpreting in Forlì, part of the University of Bologna, and I have gained a great deal of translation experience, including working for the EU Commission in Brussels.
I am a member of the AITI (the Italian association of interpreters and translators) and I specialise in financial and legal texts, EU documents and in the eyewear and cosmetics sectors.
I believe deeply in the value of this profession and in the responsibility I bear for reworking the words of my customers, always handling them with care.
As well as a real passion for words, translation demands a lively curiosity as we never stop learning. Every single job brings something new to research, taking us on yet another voyage of discovery.

Having a good knowledge of a foreign language does not mean being able to translate a text in that language.
Just as you wouldn't ask an economics student to draw up your balance sheet, you shouldn't let someone unqualified loose on translating your company brochure, website or other important messages you want to communicate.
Our translations are all done by qualified professionals and then proof-read by a second translator, a crucial operation not just for picking up the inevitable typos, but to check that the message has been communicated in full and is appropriate for the end-reader.
We are quite happy to ask questions, working in partnership with our customers, marrying our linguistic knowledge and skills with their specialist technical know-how in order to deliver a top quality, made-to-measure translation.

Here are just a few good reasons:
- Doing business overseas means dealing not just with a foreign language, but also with a foreign culture. The message you have worked so hard on for your Italian target market is unlikely to be successful if recycled in the same form for a foreign audience, given the inevitable linguistic and cultural differences.
- Saying something in a foreign language is not the same as saying it in your own. The golden rule for translators is that they ALWAYS work into their native language. Even if you often use another language at work, in the majority of cases the things you write just "sound foreign".
- Translation is not an exercise in mass-production and one size doesn't fit all! While dictionaries and glossaries are useful working tools, it is the translator's writing talent and creativity that wins the day.
