We never translate word-for-word due to linguistic differences. Our human translators focus on fidelity to the source, incorporating your preferred vocabulary or glossaries for tailored, trustworthy results that build client confidence.

Our hybrid approach combines AI with expert human review to deliver efficient, precise translations that save time and costs while maintaining the excellence and trust you expect.

Step 1: Initial Translation 

A qualified, native-speaking translator converts the source text into the target language, focusing on fidelity to the original meaning. We incorporate client glossaries or preferred terms, and for hybrid projects, integrate AI for drafts – ensuring cultural nuances (e.g., those applicable in Macao, Hong Kong, or mainland China) and context are preserved for a resonant, high-quality foundation. 

Step 2: Review and Refinement 

A second experienced linguist reviews the translation for accuracy, consistency, and flow, addressing ambiguities, grammar or cultural mismatches. This step refines the content to match your preferred tone, infuses creativity, and leverages localisation expertise, resulting in compelling, error-free translations that enhance credibility and global impact. 

Step 3: Final Proofreading and Quality Assurance 

A dedicated proofreader conducts a thorough audit for spelling, punctuation, grammar, and polish. We use CAT tools for consistency checks and make final adjustments for real-world usability – ensuring a flawless, professional outcome that protects your brand's reputation. 

Yes, we tailor the process for high-volume or specialised needs, such as industry-specific adaptations.

CMP stands for “Certified Meeting Professional”, a globally recognised credential launched in 1985 by the Events Industry Council, signifying excellence in meeting management through experience, education and a rigorous exam. Our CMPs enhance your GBA events by applying best practices, boosting efficiency, and maximising value – opening doors to better opportunities and trusted outcomes.

Interpretation is the verbal translation of spoken words, available in consecutive or simultaneous modes to suit your event needs. We provide both, using UN-level standards and Bosch equipment for seamless, real-time communication, ensuring efficient, confidential support that emphasises trust and excellence in GBA settings.

Simultaneous interpretation occurs in real time, with the interpreter situated on-site in a booth with the target language being relayed back to the audience via headsets. This is ideal for live events to maintain flow and avoid unnecessary pauses. For sessions over 45 minutes, we require two interpreters per language pair to ensure accuracy and prevent fatigue, with a standard 6-hour day including breaks – promoting reliable, high-quality service you can trust.

Consecutive interpretation involves alternating between the speaker and the interpreter, which is, perfect for detailed business meetings. For events over 2 hours, two interpreters are needed per language pair, with a 6-hour daily limit and required breaks, ensuring efficient, accurate delivery that upholds our commitment to excellence and confidentiality.

For non-local pairs (beyond Cantonese, Mandarin, Portuguese, or English pairings), charges include travel days based on flight time, accommodation with breakfast, economy transportation, and a daily allowance for meals/miscellanea. These are agreed per project for transparency, supporting efficient, trustworthy service across the GBA.

We unite local knowledge with your vision for venue negotiation, procurement, and budget-friendly experiences, featuring rapid on-site deployment and innovative concepts. Guaranteed on-time delivery maximises your focus which is useful for elaborating on the site's MICE descriptions, addressing queries from overseas planners and filling a gap in event-specific efficiency details.
