I have worked with Luz as a project manager at Foreign Translations on ongoing projects for a couple of months now. Communication with Luz is always pleasant and meaningful. Projects arrive very well prepared in my inbox, so I hardly have additional work besides translation. That way I can concentrate on what I like to do: translating. Thanks for that, Luz! I also like the efficient workflow of the projects, especially that you can review the result of your translation in the target product. I can recommend working with Luz and am looking forward to future projects.
