Human-led professional translation

“We used AI to save time” is not a sentence you want to hear yourself saying in court.

The words a business puts into the world are its bond - no matter what language they’re in.

DIY translation tools will output text in a language you don’t understand, which might contain errors, either linguistic or factual. The consequences for your business could range from embarrassing to catastrophic.

With ITL, a named, professional linguist takes responsibility for double-checking every word that goes out under your name.

The real choice

A cheap or rushed translation isn’t a saving, it’s a significant reputational risk.

DIY translation tools

  • ×Output text in a language you cannot check for yourself.
  • ×Errors, linguistic or factual, that no one qualified ever catches.
  • ×Your confidential content pasted into a public tool.
  • ×No named person standing behind the result.
  • ×A risk that still goes out under your name.

What we do

What does your text need to achieve?

Whether the job is to win customers, satisfy a regulator or stand up in court, the standard is the same.

Legal & certified

Certified and sworn translation for contracts, filings and official documents, handled by people who do this every day and know what is at stake.

Life sciences

Pharmaceutical, biotech and scientific content where a mistranslated line is not a typo, it is a compliance exposure. Accurate, traceable, defensible.

Explore life sciences →

Marketing & content

Copy that sounds as sharp in French, German or Spanish as it does in English, because it is rewritten and localised for the market, not translated word for word.

Explore marketing →

Exporters & growth

Websites, product information and documentation localised for the markets you sell into, so you are judged on your actual offer rather than a clumsy version of it.

How we use AI

All translation companies make some use of AI. But with ITL, a named individual will take full responsibility for the output you pay for.

Professional translation tools and professional AI tools are sometimes part of our process - always with your explicit consent - and they speed the work up and help us keep our fees reasonable for you. But the difference is what happens next: every word is double-checked by a qualified human who puts their name to the result.

  • ✓We use these tools only where they are fit for purpose, and never for certified, legal or other high-risk work.
  • ✓Your content stays private. It is handled on secure, closed systems, never fed into public AI tools and never used to train AI models.
  • ✓A named human takes responsibility for the final result, and you are told plainly where AI was used and where it wasn’t.
