Our Philosophy

Viktoriya Laughing Candidly
Our approach to translation services is based on two principles:
 

Consultation

At Glyph, we think it’s a mistake to treat every client and every project the same. We work on big projects for tiny clients, and tiny projects for big clients. We like simple projects and complex projects. In all cases, we strive to provide translation services that support our clients’ growth and connection with the people with whom they want to connect. As a result, we approach every project with curiosity, a critical perspective, and open ears.

Quality-by-default

In the localization industry, there will always be some kind of three-way tension between quality, timeline, and cost. Changing technology and market pressures might tilt the equation one way or another. Most language service providers strive to achieve some balance of all three, but in most cases, you can’t have it all.

We will always work to meet our clients’ goals within the parameters that they set – it’s part of our consultative approach. Ultimately, however, quality is intentionally our strong suit, and that’s what we will emphasize by default. Our workflows, technology platforms, and talent pool are all built on the assumption that our clients are interested in mot juste – just the right turn of phrase. Our client portfolio and our clients’ trust in us reflect this commitment to quality.

LET’S DO THIS!

Don’t need a quote, just want to talk?
Let’s connect!

To our valued community,

With the inevitable measures that all businesses need to undertake to support staff and clients, I would like to provide you with an update on our operations. For over 5 years 100% of our staff have been trained and able to work remotely while still maintaining weekly office days for collaboration and team building. We have cultivated business platforms and operations that run digitally without sacrificing security, service quality or capabilities during the better part of the last decade. As of March 9th, all company operations were transferred to work-from-home with no expected change in services, capacity or staff availability.

We understand that many of our partners have experienced challenges due to having a large international presence and multilingual employees. As a result, we are extending our help by monitoring requests after business hours and on weekends for projects associated with the coronavirus. This is to ensure we provide you with the best possible support and the fastest turnaround possible.

If you do have time-sensitive requests associated with the coronavirus, please send them to newrequests@glyphservices.com and include a clear subject line or title so we can act accordingly “COVID-19 Translation”.

We encourage you to reach out if there’s anything we can do to help you and your team during this difficult time. We sincerely hope you, your family, and colleagues remain safe and healthy.

Best wishes,

Viktoriya
CEO
