WHAT SETS US APART
Linguistic Strategy Tailored to Your Mission.
Custom-Fit Strategies
Every organization has unique communication goals and security standards. We tailor our approach to fit yours—from full TEP (Translation, Editing, Proofreading) for high-visibility reports to synoptic, simplified, or “on-the-fly” translation for internal assessments. We don’t just process words; we build the linguistic infrastructure your mission requires.
Tailored Billing Models
We align with the procurement workflows of the legal and humanitarian sectors. Choose the engagement model that best fits your project scope:
Retainer Agreements: The “on-tap” solution for NGOs requiring priority access, fixed monthly costs, and dedicated brand-voice consistency.
Per-Word Rates: Transparent pricing for high-volume, standardized workflows.
Hourly Consultancy: For complex research, risk audits, and strategic advisory.
Translation
Precision-led translation for high-stakes impact.
At Words We Trust, we reconstruct meaning. We dismantle complex source sentences to rebuild them in English or French—capturing nuance, institutional tone, and cultural impact. Our focus is absolute accuracy coupled with natural resonance.
Proofreading and editing
Polished text avoids misunderstandings: one extra comma can change meaning or undermine credibility. Our bilingual editing services ensure consistency, precision, and professional tone.
Other services
Enhance consistency and save time with specialized services like:
- Terminology development & glossary design
- Translation memory optimization
- Corpus alignment
- Language audits
Ideal for organizations seeking brand consistency and cost efficiency.
Retainers
Have expert translation and language support on tap.
Retainers offer:
- Familiarity with your brand voice & terminology
- Priority access—no last-minute rush
- Savings via discounted hourly rates
- Ongoing advice on tone, risk, and compliance
- Confidentiality through ongoing partnership
- Scalability for evolving needs
- A single, trusted point of contact
Example: €500/month retainer provides ~15 hours of priority advisory and translation at a preferred partner rate.
Communication is an investment in trust. We ensure your first impression is as precise as your mission.

Payment can be made by bank transfer, Wise, or PayPal. We also accept other major money transfer services upon request.
