Meaning survives the last revision.

Glossa Bridge translates IFUs, consent forms, investor decks, and product UI for teams selling across the EU. Linguists work in tracked changes, terminology is locked in client-specific glossaries, and every rush job still passes a second reviewer before it hits your inbox. Project managers speak engineer, not buzzword.

ISO-aligned workflows; signed NDAs on every account.

Localization buyer notes

“Notified bodies stopped bouncing our IFU updates once Glossa standardized units and symbols across languages.”
Tomás RibeiroRegulatory lead, Helix Ortho
“Their PM caught a currency formatting bug in Dutch UI strings before we shipped—saved a weekend hotfix.”
Yuki TanakaProduct director, Ledgerlane
“Booth interpreters arrived early, tested headsets, and knew our product names without a cheat sheet.”

Before you send files

Which file formats do you accept?

IDML, XLIFF, JSON, PO, Word, and PDF with editable layers. Scanned PDFs require OCR prep quoted separately.

Do you use machine translation?

Only with client approval. MTPE rates are listed; pure human translation remains default for regulated work.

How do you handle updates?

TM fuzzy matches reduce cost. We diff prior deliveries and quote only changed segments when files are structured.

Can you work under our vendor security review?

Yes. We complete infosec questionnaires quarterly and host data in EU-only storage by default.
