Client Feedback

 

Kel was a perfect translator and proof-reader for our technical marketing material. We appreciate his work a lot and strongly recommend him. We will definitively work with him again.

Kel assisted my family by translating a manuscript written by a relative. He did a wonderful job—particularly with a segment that included a poem, where he included both literal and artistic translations. He was prompt and professional and contacted me when he had specific questions or needed additional context. I would gladly use his services again.
