The Benefits for You:

Hi, I’m Scott Ellsworth. Ellsworth Language Services is made up of myself, along with competent and experienced associates that I bring into projects as needed. Here are the advantages that I provide to you:

• Your text gets translated accurately. I have been fluent in Russian since 1999, and in German since 1988. As a professional translator I continuously have practice with texts in both languages. And I’m ATA-certified to translate German to English.
• Your text is in a clear and natural style in English. English speakers strongly prefer a straightforward, uncomplicated style that conveys more information in fewer words. Writing in other languages, such as German and Russian, is often not like this.
• You avoid embarrassing errors. I’m a native speaker of American English, with outstanding spelling and grammar. I give meticulous attention to detail.
• The translation’s style matches that of your original text. I’m careful to keep the translations as close as practical to the style and mood of the original. You can also give additional instructions on the style and level of formality you want for your English text.
• Your file type and formatting remain the same. I make sure my translation is as close as practical to the original source text, not only in wording but also in overall appearance. In most cases I give you my translation in the same type of file you’ve given me. I can translate files in a wide variety of formats including Microsoft Office, HTML, OpenDocument, Visio, plain-text, PO files, and more.
• Your terminology is applied consistently. I use state-of-the-art software to ensure consistent translations of your terminology and texts—even for your subsequent orders, months or years later.
• I respect you and your needs. You have a good reason for wanting your text translated into English. Your success is my success. Your proprietary information is safe with me.
