Trusted experts in specialist translation, helping professionals communicate clearly across languages, sectors and borders.
Our translators are real people, not machines.
When certified translations are required, we provide NAATI-approved and certified translations by accredited translators.
To be a quality human translator, it takes more than the ability to speak multiple languages.
Language fluency must be paired with:
Excellent writing and communication skills
A deep understanding of different industries and cultures.
Our human translators offer all of these qualities. They combine subject matter expertise with real-world industry experience.
Even when a machine translation is edited by a human, the margin for error is greater.
In our experience, this often leads to higher costs and delays, as documents usually need to be re-translated by a human.
Translation services come in two basic formats:
Human and Machine.
Machine translation is a software-driven electronic dictionary.
It takes data in one language and finds the closest word in the target language.
It’s fast, it can be cheap, and it works well in repetitive or formulaic content.
However, machine translation does not account for nuance, industry-specific terminology, or intended meaning.
Even when reviewed by a human, machine translations often have a greater margin for error.
In our experience, this can lead to higher costs and delays—as documents often need to be re-translated by a human.
Translators must capture the intent of the author and provide clarity to the audience.
A quality translator is a professional communicator. They understand phrasing, metaphor, and how to convey complex information across cultures.
At Linguistico, we know that effective translation goes beyond electronic word substitution.
There’s no substitute for human translators.
When you work with us, you can be confident that the best human translators will handle your job.
Here’s why:
Yes. Linguistico handles urgent translation requests for time-critical documents, and for standard certified translations, turnaround in under 24 hours is possible for eligible projects.
Dr Elizabeth Lennon needed urgent certified translations for an immigration application. She described the response from first contact as immediate, the process as efficient and easy to follow, and the certified translations as delivered in under 24 hours looking exactly as required. A senior associate at a leading international law firm reported that Linguistico’s turnaround time on a translation project for their client was “just excellent,” and that the client specifically commented on the speed of delivery.
Speed in professional translation carries a specific risk: it creates pressure that can compromise accuracy. The reason Linguistico is able to deliver quickly without sacrificing quality is its project management system. When an urgent project arrives, it is assigned immediately to the relevant translation team, the same people who would handle that work regardless of deadline, and the second pair of eyes review is completed as part of the same workflow rather than as an afterthought. The process does not change for urgent work. The timeline tightens.
For court filings, contract negotiations, immigration documents, or any matter where the deadline is fixed and the accuracy requirement is non-negotiable, Linguistico’s capacity to move quickly is a function of its systems, not an exception to them. Call (02) 9220 1700 or request a quote and include your deadline. We will tell you directly what is achievable.
Not every multilingual person is suited to being a translator.
