About me
Legal, business and management, marketing and technical.

Who we are
We are a freelance team, not a company. A native Latvian and a native English speaker combining our skills to provide you with quality translating and editing services in these language pairs: Latvian ? English, English ? Latvian, Russian ? English and German - Latvian.


Translation strategies
Translations are produced for communicative purposes and the translated texts have different functions that range from just informing, to binding and to persuading the reader to take a particular course of action.

In line with the requirements of the three main areas of our work ? legal, business and technical ? we produce translations that reflect the intended purpose and function of the source text.



Why work with us
Just like you, we are in pursuit of quality. All your texts will be translated or edited by qualified native speakers of the target language.

Not only do we know the languages but we also possess hands-on extra-linguistic experience in many of the areas we translate for.

We serve two masters ? you, our client, and your target reader. We will meet and exceed your requirements and the expectations of the target readership.

Our references and your quality assurance are just a mouse click away. In addition to the work samples which can be found in the portfolio section we can direct you to one of the websites that we have recently translated or edited.

Our prices are attractive and yet negotiable for repeat clients or large projects.
