“We contacted Betranslated services in July 2024. My daughter had time sensitive documents that required certified translation from Spanish to English. The company accommodated her request and promptly, accurately translated all of her documents ahead of time. The documents showed clearly which part had been translated to make it easy to identify. They were friendly & professional, and we would recommend their services to anyone.”

Yes. We localize UI strings, error messages, and embedded help text alongside printed or PDF documentation in a single coordinated project.
Yes. We accept TMX and TBX files from any CAT tool platform. Leveraging your existing assets keeps costs down and ensures consistency with previous releases.
We work in Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase (formerly Memsource), and Smartcat as standard. Source formats handled directly include .docx, .indd/.idml, .xml, .xliff, .json, .resx, .properties, .po, FrameMaker .fm, and DITA or S1000D-tagged content. For German automotive and engineering clients using custom TM environments we can integrate via XLIFF, TMX, and TBX exchange to your existing infrastructure.
Yes. Every translator signs an NDA before receiving project files. For sensitive material such as patents under preparation, pre-release automotive specifications, and defense-adjacent documentation, we apply additional safeguards: project compartmentalisation, no machine translation engines, encrypted transfer only, and an audit trail of document access. Multi-year NDAs and your standard supplier code of conduct are accepted on request.
