How can we reduce costs
as soon as possible?
The best way to start reducing costs is to add your current
multilingual material to our translation memory. Using a
highly sophisticated text alignment software, we can easily
convert your documents and their translation into a Translation
Memory. By using this Translation Memory, we reduce costs
immediately from the your very first project.

our specific terminology?
LNE helps you setting up a terminology database. We extract

is the most important tool to increase the consistency of
your translations. If available, we also use other existing
documentation and the website as reference.
