I have worked in the industry for a long time but have never seen such good translations
Quality assurance
Our quality assurance system complies with and exceeds ISO 17100:2015 standard and guarantees a meticulous approach to all projects.
Every text goes through a number of stages and is refined along its way to completion. Translations at Lexicon Center are made by certified native Russian translators and polished by revisers so they sound natural like the text was originally written in Russian and not translated.
The multistage workflow assures the delivery of the most accurate translation possible.
