Melilla, 2012.
From a city that speaks Spanish and Arabic, for clients who need to communicate in more languages.
A city at the crossing of two continents.
Melilla is not just a point on a map. It is a perspective. And working from here gives our Arabic and French translations a context that very few Spanish agencies have.
We started in 2012 as a small team with a simple idea: good translations require translators who understand the field, not just the language. A badly translated software manual is not just a confusing document. It can block access to a platform, generate unnecessary support tickets, or make a user abandon a product. A bad translation of a scientific article is not just awkward text. It can make a reviewer reject a paper before reading the methodology.
That is why we separate projects by field. Website content goes to those who work with digital content. Research papers go to translators with training in the relevant discipline. Game localization goes to someone who knows the gaming sector and has worked with CAT tools, XLIFF files, and character glossaries.
Why Melilla matters for translation.
40% of Melilla's residents are of Berber-Amazigh origin and many are bilingual in Spanish and Arabic. The city has a blend of Spanish, Moroccan, Sephardic and Hindu culture found nowhere else in Spain. For a translation agency, that is not just cultural context; it is an asset. When we translate into Arabic for North African tourism, we are not doing it from a distance. We are doing it from a place where Arabic is part of the daily fabric.
Three principles that do not change
Specialists, not generalists
Each content type goes to the right translator for that field. A gaming specialist does not translate patents. A patent specialist does not translate hotel guides.
Revision included
All projects include a second-pass revision. It is not an add-on. It is part of the process because the first review always finds something.
Fixed price, no surprises
The quote we send is the final price. If something does not fit, we say so before starting, not after.
Melilla
We have been operating from the same address in Melilla since 2012. The city is our operational and administrative base.
