Who we are

Built for documents that cannot afford guesswork

Precision Language Services exists because generic agencies treat a patent claim and a hotel brochure the same way. We do not. Our linguists translate only into their native language and only within domains they have studied—mechanical engineering, pharmacology, commercial law, and adjacent fields.

We partner with manufacturers, law firms, contract research organisations, and government suppliers who need defensible quality: named reviewers, locked glossaries, and delivery packages that survive compliance review. You will always know who translated your file and which revision you received.

Quality

Standards you can cite in an audit

Our workflow mirrors what regulated industries expect—not what is easiest for a marketplace platform.

01

Terminology lock

Approved glossaries and client term bases are enforced before delivery. Deviations are flagged, not silently "improved."

02

Dual control

Every Priority order includes a translator plus a subject-matter reviewer. Basic tier includes one full proofreading pass.

03

Version integrity

Source and target files are version-stamped. You receive editable formats alongside PDF where requested.

04

Confidentiality

NDA-by-default. Secure deletion after 90 days unless you instruct us to retain materials for repeat work.

From intake to defensible delivery

Clear stages, clear ownership—no black box.

FAQ

Common questions

Which languages do you cover?

Major European and Asian technical pairs including EN, DE, FR, ES, IT, NL, PL, PT, JA, ZH (Simplified & Traditional), and KO. Submit your pair at checkout—we confirm coverage before work begins.

Do you use machine translation?

Human translation is the default. Machine tools may assist glossary consistency internally; they never substitute for expert review on deliverables.

Are certified translations available?

Yes on Priority tier where our linguists hold appropriate credentials. Notarisation requirements vary by jurisdiction—we advise at intake.

What file formats do you accept?

Word, PDF, InDesign packages, XML/XLIFF for localisation, and plain text. Scanned PDFs may require OCR confirmation before quote.

What is your refund policy?

A clean refund of 100% upon request, as set out in our Privacy Policy. We do not offer partial refunds designed to discourage legitimate requests.
