Training our translators
Our team of translators includes civil engineers, architects and geologists.
In addition to regular courses on linguistics, our staff receive training on the specifics of each assignment through briefings and site visits (we conducted 16 visits to facilities, residential areas and alpine tunnels in 2012 alone). In addition, the feedback provided by our revisers on each completed translation allows our translators to refine and improve their skills.

We have developed internal terminological databases to support our translators with over 21,000 specialised technical terms across various fields, compiled in our latest “Construction” glossary:
- Architecture: technical terms for translation into Italian, English, French, German and Spanish.

Certified quality
All our translations undergo rigorous 100% quality control (revisions) in accordance with UNI EN 15.038 and ISO 17.100 standards. Terminology research is governed by the official procedures set out by the CRL (Language Research Institute) that we established specifically for the continuous updating of our translation terminology.
