    Got a body of text translated within 24hrs, and a bonus document showing the translation and revision process with commentary which was excellent! In an age of AI tools, it was nice to see the human consideration and care that went into the translating work. Highly recommend!

    This is the second time that I have worked with Desmond for video game translations and I would definitely do so again. Desmond's attention to detail and adaptability in expressing the intent of the original text is outstanding. I really appreciated that he also explained his translation decisions...

    Wow! Desmond Kim was quick to respond to all messages and extremely helpful. I needed 12 pages of documents translated for a UK visa, I gave them to him on a Sunday and recieved them on Monday afternoon. I couldn't ask for a better service, I would definitely recommend him!
