About DeScribe Language Services

Background

Our firm belief is that we listen and exchange ideas best in our native languages. Doing this, we unlock massive opportunity and knowledge for valuable collaborations, business and personal growth. Our bespoke service aims to share these opportunities with you through premium, professional language services.

We make sure we communicate the complete message by using novel, reverse-language revision. This means that we get a translator with the source language as his/her mother tongue to revise the translation, giving the translator valuable insight. Our experience has shown that this approach really does give better quality translation as no nuance is missed. Of course, a native target text speaker proofreads the final version.
