Our clients sell in Europe and Latin America, yet we write every source text in plain US English. This is deliberate.
English as the pivot
Most translation vendors staff English-to-X pairs more deeply than any other. A clean English source makes every target language cheaper and faster.
What “plain” means
- Short sentences, one idea each
- No idioms, puns, or sports metaphors
- Consistent product and feature names
If a sentence needs a footnote in English, it will need three in Spanish.
