Care is taken to avoid difficulties that can arise when translating scientific and technical information. A minor error in the recording of qualitative or quantitative data can have serious consequences, slight spelling mistakes in science can drastically alter meaning, and when tabulating numerical data, failure to insert a decimal point in the correct place can potentially lead to grave consequences.

To ensure quality, the context of all text presented for translation or post-editing is thoroughly researched to obtain a full understanding of the background before translation begins, with use of appropriate subject-specific terminology.
