Case studies
Real stories from our practice — fully anonymized: no client names, no company names. Each case shows exactly how we solve a task: the steps, the timeline, and what to watch out for.
How to read these cases
Every case is a real order described the same way: the task, the steps we took, the timeline, and the outcome. Names, company names, and identifying details are removed or changed — confidentiality matters to us as much as translation quality.
The cases are grouped by category, from personal documents to game localization. If your situation resembles one of them, the case gives you a realistic picture of the process and the timeline before you even get in touch.
What these stories demonstrate
The scale varies a lot, and that is deliberate. Next to everyday tasks — a power of attorney from Cyprus to sell a car, an immigration package for Canada — there is a three-year project translating 5,000+ AutoCAD drawings into Kazakh for a plant construction site, 600+ equipment drawings for a sugar factory, and hundreds of pages of court documents translated on tight deadlines.
Nor is it all English: the cases feature German, Polish, and Kazakh, consular legalization for the UAE where an apostille is not accepted, and a furniture catalog in three languages for entering EU markets. Watch for the process details — glossaries, translation memory, layout matching the original one-to-one: that is what separates systematic work from a one-off job.
From a case to a service
Each case category corresponds to a service. If you recognize your own task, here is where to go next:
- Personal documents — notarized translation of certificates, diplomas, and official records for institutions in Ukraine and abroad.
- Powers of attorney from abroad — power of attorney from abroad: what to do when you live in another country but your affairs are in Ukraine.
- Apostille & legalization — legalization and apostille: stamps and consular legalization arranged without your presence.
- Legal translation — legal translation of contracts, court, and corporate documents.
- Technical translation — technical translation: drawings, catalogs, manuals, and equipment documentation.
- Website localization — website localization for entering new markets.
- Game localization — game localization: interface, dialogue, and store pages.
Your project
If your task looks like one of these stories — or like none of them — send your documents or a project description via the order page: we come back with a price and a timeline within 15 minutes. Tricky situations — a laminated old-style certificate, a country outside the Hague Convention — are part of our routine too — several cases above began exactly there.
Powers of attorney from abroad
Power of attorney from Cyprus to sell a car in Ukraine
The client lives in Cyprus; the car is parked in Kyiv. Here is how the power of attorney was issued remotely — no flight to Ukraine needed.
Selling an apartment in Ukraine from Germany — by power of attorney
A client in Germany sold her apartment in Ukraine without crossing the border once. A step-by-step look at the procedure.
Apostille & legalization
Apostille on a laminated old-format certificate: what actually works
Ukraine does not apostille laminated old-format certificates. A case about solving exactly that problem for documents going to Spain.
Legalizing a diploma for a job in the UAE: how it really works
The UAE does not recognize apostilles, and its embassy in Kyiv does not accept documents. The full consular legalization chain, step by step.
Technical translation
A home-appliance catalog in Ukrainian: hundreds of pages, every year
A European appliance brand localized its catalog for Ukraine: hundreds of pages, terminology unified with manuals and the website, annual updates on translation memory.
Translating 5,000+ AutoCAD drawings into Kazakh for a plant construction
A three-year plant-construction project in Kazakhstan: 5,000+ AutoCAD drawings and 600+ manual pages. Every text line placed at client-specified coordinates.
A furniture catalog in three languages: how a factory entered EU markets
A Ukrainian furniture factory entering European markets: the catalog in English, German, and Polish — with layout matching the original one-to-one.
