Frequently Asked Questions
In Germany the word Igel doesn't mean the masterful creature we would assume to be the eagle. Instead it's the common prickly garden animal, the hedgehog.
Why would I choose a translation agency for my translation project? Can't I just use an individual translator?
A full service translation agency is not restricted to the particular skills of a single individual, but has access to many independent contractors who are carefully selected for each particular project according to their individual skills, expertise and experience in a given area.
We can offer you a broader range of services, and are able to help you with expert translation whatever your requirements, be it a legal contract on one occasion or a technical user manual a few weeks later.
When you purchase translations from a reputable translation agency, you pay for extra quality control and resources that are simply not available to an individual translator.
It takes time and effort to find competent and reliable translators and a poor translation can mean many hours of extra work for you to put right – or worse, embarrassment when the translation is presented to your clients and it is not to the high standard you both expect.
First Edition Translations has the best specialist translators available for your project and our in-house team of experienced translators and editorial co-ordinators will ensure that your final documents meet your highest expectations.
