03 · Specialization

More than translating words. We understand the context.

Professional document translation requires decisions that a generalist translator or an automated tool does not make. Each document is prepared with its receiving institution and its purpose in mind.

01

Terminology & equivalents

Specialized terminology and educational equivalents based on the academic or professional system of the destination country.

02

Institutional nomenclature

Names of institutions, degrees and positions, interpreted in their documentary context before translation.

03

Structure of the original

Tables, codes, numbering and layout reproduced from the original document to make institutional review easier.

04

Seals, signatures & formal elements

Seals, signatures and formal annotations noted with professional judgment, without altering the documentary value of the original.

05

British or American English

The language variant is chosen according to the receiving country and institution, along with date, number and formatting conventions.

04 · Our quality standard

How can I know my translation was actually reviewed?

We make visible the technical work behind every translation.

At Lingua Franca, every translation is delivered with a Quality Control Report that documents the checks performed, the criteria applied and the key decisions made to preserve fidelity to the original.

You receive more than a certified translation: you receive evidence of the professional process behind it.

Fidelity to the original

Content checked against the source document.

Data verification

Names, dates, figures, codes and sensitive data verified.

Terminology review

Terminology reviewed for the document and its context.

Final review

Proofreading and visual check before delivery.

More than a translation. A documented process of precision and quality.
