"Our software had moved on since the last time we had had the manual translated. We needed sections to be written to cover new functionality, and older sections revised to take into account changes. The project was managed professionally off-site with weekly meetings to discuss software functionality and any queries which had arisen. We were very satisfied with the results and renewed the contract several times." FZ, Software Company, Padova, Italy.
