Broken Swedish makes a serious company look unserious.

Swedish security organisations teach people that spelling mistakes are a sign of fraud. Whoever reads your site has heard that advice.

What the reader concludes

Fraudulent sites often have badly written text, with spelling errors or grammatical mistakes.

What we do

We rewrite instead of patching

Machine-translated text can rarely be repaired sentence by sentence. We rebuild it so it reads as if it was written by someone who speaks the language.

The trade language comes with it

An electrician and a lawyer do not write the same way. We use the words the trade itself uses.

Both directions

We do the same thing the other way round. A Swedish site in broken English loses readers abroad.
