Service description
espell has developed a methodology for this creative process. First, we select a talent pool of linguists with outstanding authoring skills. We also survey the customer’s expected terminology, style, and target audience. Linguists provide versions of the adapted content that we then evaluate with a focus group that selects the most suitable final version.
Of course, the process involves experimentation and client feedback. Still, a focus group’s evaluation of multiple versions yields more compelling results than a translation by a single person.
Why choose espell?

"One of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies selected espell as a key translation partner for more than 50 language combinations. The volumes sent our way scaled up very rapidly, so our team had to deal with a massive, 150% increase in translation volumes within a rather short time. To address this challenge, we built a dedicated PM-team to support the client with day-to-day communication, we developed the appropriate quality assurance procedures and synchronized the work of multiple language teams. Dozens of professionals work together in scores of projects every week running in parallel to ensure the highest service level and linguistic quality."

A smart approach to eliminating PDFs
Streamlining multilingual content integration
Who among us hasn’t experienced the love-hate relationship with PDF files? While they’re excellent for portability and annotation, they become problematic when you need to open them for further processing in other tools, especially for creating multilingual versions. Dropping files into DeepL might seem like a quick fix, but it doesn’t address version control, differential updates, or quality assurance for critical content.
