Human translation: words chosen with care
Translation by native linguists who understand your field, your brand and your audience. Every text is translated, edited and proofread by people, so meaning, tone and trust survive the move into a new language.
Human translation for the texts that carry your name
Every year our language team translates more than 500,000 standard pages across 100+ language pairs, in almost every field of knowledge. Machines are fast, but meaning, tone and trust still depend on people who understand both languages and both cultures.
We believe every business deserves a language partner: a team that removes the barriers between you and your market, and uses the latest tools to work faster, never to replace the linguist.
Our goal is to remove every language barrier that stops business owners from sharing their knowledge and products with the world.Cube Localization
Meaning, not just words
Human translators use their understanding of life and language to carry the nuances of your original text to a new audience: humour, idioms, formality and everything a sentence implies without saying it.
A word-for-word translation can be grammatically correct and still wrong. Our linguists translate what you mean, the way your readers would say it.

Accurate, compliant and true to your brand
A professional translation partner gives you translations that are accurate and culturally appropriate at the same time, and that meet the standards of your industry. Our translators follow your corporate language, branding and tone, and write for the audience you want to reach.
Your brand's character is kept by native language experts who focus on your sector, in more than 60 languages. Terms, product names and slogans are agreed with you before translation starts and kept in a glossary that grows with every project.
- Your glossary and style guide applied to every file
- Tone adapted to each market, not copied
- Industry rules and regulations respected
How we choose the translator for your text
Your text is not sent to whoever happens to be free. Each project is matched to a translator who translates into their native language and has worked in your field, whether that is banking, medicine, law, engineering or games.
Linguists join our network only after a translation test, and their work is reviewed on every project. When a translator works well for you, we keep them on your account, so they learn your terms, your tone and your preferences.
- Translates into their native language only
- Experience in your subject, not just your language pair
- Tested before joining, reviewed on every project
- Your files shared only with your project team
Why human translation?
Human translators use their understanding of life and language to carry the nuances of your original to a new audience. Where a machine guesses, a linguist decides, and can explain the decision.
That matters most when a text is public, persuasive, legal or medical: the places where a small error costs the most.
| Human translation | Machine only | |
|---|---|---|
| Nuance and tone | Kept and adapted | Often lost |
| Idioms and culture | Adapted for the market | Translated literally |
| Legal and technical meaning | Checked by specialists | Not verified |
| Brand voice | Follows your style guide | Generic |
| Accountability | A responsible team and a quality check | None |

Good translators ask questions
Source texts are rarely perfect: an abbreviation nobody explained, a sentence that can be read two ways, a term used differently on two pages. A weak translation guesses. Our translators stop and ask.
Questions reach you through your project manager, collected in one list rather than one email at a time. Every answer is saved to your glossary, so the same question is never asked twice.
Specialists for your sector
Precise terminology, crafted by team members who know your field.
Legal
For law firms working with clients worldwide and companies facing global compliance: every clause checked against the requirements of the audience it is meant for.
Technical
Manuals, specifications and software documentation translated by linguists who understand the product, with terminology kept consistent from page one to the last.
Medical
Healthcare keeps growing, and so does the need for precise, culturally relevant translation. Expert linguists close the language gap quickly and at a fair cost.
Business
Reports, presentations, marketing and internal communication that read naturally to your partners, customers and staff.
When human translation matters most
If a mistake would cost you money, trust or reputation, a person should translate it.
Marketing and campaigns
Slogans, ads and product pages that must persuade, not just inform.
Legal and compliance
Contracts, policies and regulatory texts where precision is not negotiable.
Medical and safety
Patient information and safety instructions that people act on.
Books and publishing
Books, articles and long-form content with a voice worth keeping.
Speeches and PR
Statements, speeches and press material where tone is everything.
Websites and UX
Interface text and website copy that must feel natural to use.
Your style guide: decisions made once, applied every time
Arabic offers choices English does not. We settle them with you at the start, write them down, and apply them to every file.
How you address the reader
Singular or plural, formal or warm: one form of address, chosen for your audience and used everywhere.
Men and women
Arabic marks gender in verbs and adjectives. We agree whether to address both, use neutral phrasing or follow your audience.
Numerals
Western digits (123) or Arabic-Indic digits (١٢٣), used the same way in text, tables and charts.
Brand and product names
Kept in Latin letters, written in Arabic letters or translated: decided name by name, and recorded.
Punctuation and quotation marks
Arabic commas and question marks, and one style of quotation marks for the whole document.
Words you never use
Competitors' terms, outdated names or words with the wrong connotation, blocked in every file.
Three service levels
Choose how much review your content needs. Your project manager recommends a level with the quote.

- Format matching
- Revision
Premium

Full transparency, from quote to delivery

- One project manager from start to finish
- Translation, editing and proofreading by three different linguists
- A final quality check before delivery
Standards behind every project
Our processes follow international standards for translation services, machine translation post-editing, quality management and cyber security, so every project is handled with the same care, whatever its size.
Standards are not a certificate on the wall for us: they decide who works on your text, how it is checked and how your files are protected.

Questions
Something else? A project manager replies within thirty minutes in office hours.
When should I choose human translation over MTPE?
For creative, legal, medical or brand-critical content. For large volumes of repetitive text, MTPE is usually faster and more economical.
Do you use AI at all?
Not to translate. We use technology only for terminology, consistency and quality checks.
Can you follow our style guide?
Yes. Send it with your files, or we will build one with you.
Who translates my text?
A native speaker of the target language with experience in your subject.
Is human translation more expensive?
It costs more than raw machine output, but it avoids the cost of errors, rework and lost trust. We quote per project, so you only pay for the level you need.
Can you handle large projects?
Yes. We translate over 500,000 pages a year and split large projects across teams, keeping terminology consistent with shared glossaries and translation memory.
Which service level should I choose?
Basic suits internal documents, Standard adds proofreading and revision for most business texts, and Premium adds full editing and quality assurance for published, legal or high-impact content.
Is human translation slower?
A little, because people read every sentence. A professional translator covers about 2,000 to 2,500 words a day, and larger projects are shared across a team so deadlines are still met.
Can the same translator work on all my projects?
Yes. Whenever possible we keep the same team on your account, so your terminology, tone and preferences carry over from one project to the next.
Can I review the translation before it is final?
Of course. Your reviewer's comments go straight back to the translator, and agreed changes are added to your glossary so they apply to future work too.
Will the translation keep my layout?
Yes. Format matching is part of every level: the translated file comes back with the same layout, styles and images as your original.
Can you translate into several languages at once?
Yes. Each language gets its own native team working in parallel from one shared glossary, coordinated by a single project manager, so all versions are delivered together.
