A person reads every clause
Machine drafts are fine as a starting point. They're not fine as a final document. Someone who knows the field reads your file front to back before it leaves us.
About us · Miramar, FL
A small crew that takes your consent forms and contracts seriously — because a mistranslated clause isn't a typo, it's a problem someone has to clean up later.
Where this started
Glingua started the way a lot of useful things do — with a mess somebody had to clean up. A clinic in Broward County had run a stack of patient consent forms through a cheap online tool, and at filing time the IRB sent them all back. Wrong terms, dropped lines, formatting that fell apart on page two.
One of us had spent years as a clinical research coordinator. The other had a paralegal background and a stubborn habit of reading every defined term twice. We took on that pile, did it properly, and the clinic asked if we could just… keep doing it.
“A consent form isn't a place to guess. The person signing it deserves to actually understand what they're agreeing to.”
So that's the whole idea. We don't try to be the biggest agency in Florida. We stay small on purpose so the same people who quote your project are the ones reading every line of it. No mystery handoffs, no anonymous contractor in a queue somewhere.
These days we work across 40+ languages with a vetted network of subject-matter linguists — but the rule hasn't changed since that first stack of forms: two human passes minimum, certified when you need it, and a revision on us if anything's off.
What we actually mean by careful
Machine drafts are fine as a starting point. They're not fine as a final document. Someone who knows the field reads your file front to back before it leaves us.
Clinical work goes to translators who've worked the clinical side. Contracts go to people trained on contracts. Knowing Spanish isn't the same as knowing a deposition.
When you need a signed certificate of accuracy for a court or an IRB, you get one that's accepted — not a disclaimer that quietly puts the risk back on you.
You get a flat per-project quote, usually the same day, and a turnaround you can plan around. If we can't hit your deadline, we'll tell you up front instead of after.
