Services

To agencies, I offer the following services individually. My partnership with other highly specialized  and trusted Italian technical translators, however, allows me to offer a more comprehensive service when corporate or agency clients request it (i.e., the coordination of a dedicated Italian team to perform several steps within the translation workflow). 
Terminology Development/Glossary Compilation​
Medical Translation
​Technical Editing​
Proofreading
Harmonized Translation
Backtranslation (English to Italian) for QA/Validation Purposes
Pre-Print Review
For private clients, I also provide notarized (US) translation into Italian of certificates
(birth, death, marriage).
