Capabilities
Why EL-Translations.
ISO 17100 on every deliverable
Translation by a qualified specialist, mandatory independent revision, and traceable quality control: the standard is how we work every day.
Terminology consistent from project to project
We build a translation memory and term base for every client. Each new project becomes more consistent, and more economical, than the last.
Machine translation, only where it fits
Neural machine translation with ISO 18587-certified post-editing where content type and volume justify it, with final accountability resting on certified translators.
Terminology sample
Why a specialist translator
One word, another field, another translation.
The same Greek term is rendered differently in each field. That is why every project goes to a translator of the field, not just of the language.
- «χρήση»accounting, in English: financial yeareveryday, in English: use
- «έως»payment deadline, in English: no later thanduration, in English: until
- «διακοπή»of treatment, in English: discontinuationof power, in English: power outage
- «πράξη»notarial, in English: deedlegislative, in English: act
- «ισχύς»energy, in English: capacityof a law, in English: force
- «τάση»electrical, in English: voltagemarket, in English: trend
Revision sample
Revision under ISO 17100
A second check, sentence by sentence.
Every translation is checked by a second translator, sentence by sentence, against the source. The reviser’s corrections are shown below.
Ο Μισθωτής υποχρεούται να καταβάλλει το μίσθωμα έως την πέμπτη ημέρα κάθε μήνα.
The Tenant is obliged to pay the rent until the fifth day of each month. → The Tenant shall pay the rent no later than the fifth day of each month.
- 1«shall»: the established way to state an obligation in English contracts.
- 2«no later than»: here «έως» sets a deadline. «until» describes a duration and leaves open whether the fifth day is included.
An illustrative example of the method, not client text.

What professional translation covers
Professional translation concerns documents that are signed, filed or published in your company's name: texts that shape decisions, contracts and business relationships.
The work follows a structured procedure: terminology analysis, assignment to a specialist translator, independent revision by a second professional and a final quality check. ISO 17100 certification ensures that every stage is carried out by an appropriately qualified professional.
When a general translation is not enough
Professional translation becomes essential when a text carries legal force, sets out technical or medical specifications, addresses international partners, or is published in a corporate or institutional context. In those cases, a general translation falls short.
We use modern language-technology tools for consistency and speed, with final accountability resting with a person. Every text is checked by a person before it is delivered.
How the price is formed, and why it falls over time
The price of a translation rests on measurable factors: volume, language pair, how specialised the text is, and the deadline. You see all of them in your quote before you commit, and you pay only after accepting it.
One factor works in your favour: repetition. The translation memory we build for you recognises what has already been rendered correctly, from single terms to whole sections that return from contract to contract and from edition to edition. That is why each new project is more consistent, and more economical, than the last.
Who sees your files, and for how long
Contracts, financial statements, personnel files: what we translate is almost by definition confidential. These are the rules for your files: an NDA before every engagement, access only for your project team, and storage on infrastructure located exclusively in the EU, with automatic deletion within the periods set by our Privacy Policy.
And the knowledge built during the work is not lost: your translation memory is trained on your terminology with every project, and works only for your own texts.
Infrastructure & Reliability
Three ISO standards, audited by TÜV Hellas.
Enterprise-grade translation needs know-how, infrastructure and accountability. We have already built them, so you do not have to.
Next milestones: ISO 9001 (quality) & ISO 27001 (information security), certification in progress.

Frequently asked questions
Before the first project.
How do you guarantee quality in rare language pairs?
The same ISO 17100 workflow applies to all 140+ languages. If a pair cannot be covered to our standard, we tell you before taking the job, not after.
Can you follow our corporate terminology?
Yes. We either adopt your existing glossary or build one together on the first project. It then binds every subsequent delivery.
