A lot of BURG Translations’ growth comes from existing clients who change companies and then bring us into their new company.  We’re extremely grateful for when this happens, and work hard to build the same level of trust and value with the new company and their team.

EU MDR changes and language translation: are you ready?

November 19, 2019/in Document Review Services, EU Medical Device e-Labeling, Medical Device Labeling, Medical Translation/by Angelo Passalacqua

How to create a glossary for document translations

October 15, 2019/in Document Review Services, Your LSP Partnership/by Angelo Passalacqua

Professional services, such as accounting and medicine, require collaboration with the client.  Whether it’s tax information, patient records, or a consultation, the client has a role to play.  Translations, as a professional service, is no different.

October 8, 2019/in Document Review Services, Your LSP Partnership/by Angelo Passalacqua

Just as there is more than one way of saying something in English, there is more than one way of saying something in other languages.  The meanings are the same, but the style, character length and other features may vary.
