This review is for MasterWord s translation services. I work at a large engineering company and we had just finished a design package consisting of about 1,800 documents that had to be translated into Russian.

As one negative reviewer mentions, there are tons of translation companies out there; some that might be cheaper than MasterWord. However, they do not all operate at a high level of quality. I had reviewed bids from 4 other companies and though some were a bit cheaper, they obviously did not have a clear understanding of the scope of work - there were errors in their proposals, gross assumptions, disclaimers, and high-flying promises. It was easy to award the contract to MasterWord and I m glad I did.

We had both onsite translators in our office to translate drawings and to allow for easy consultation with our engineers in case there were questions and an offsite translation team working on documents. Both teams asked a lot of questions! And that is a good thing. The key to proper and correct translation is understanding the context in which a word or phrase is used. In a language like Russian, as is the case in many languages, there are multiple ways to use the same word that all depend on, you guessed it, context!

To say that the teams at MasterWord were thorough is an understatement. They did a fantastic job in understanding complex engineering language and translated it with the highest accuracy. They responded quickly to my questions. They delivered a quality product on time and on budget. They were professional yet easy to work with. And ultimately, my Russian client was quite impressed with their work saying that it was as if they had written the documents themselves in their native language.

Indeed, they are many translation companies out there but none have a mastery of the written word at least not in the 2 languages on which I worked with them like MasterWord does. Highly recommended!
