Translations

We deal mainly with legal translations, but we also have years of experience providing services in the tourism and technical industries. For example, we have translated countless websites for hotels, bed & breakfasts, hostels and guesthouses. Technical manuals, catalogues, estimates and business documents are also part of our repertoire.
Additionally, we have provided services to businesses in wellbeing, health, food and sports sectors. We also work in English and German. References can be provided upon request. To ensure our customers’ privacy, we do not publish our customer list on our website.
The translations we provide you with will, as far as possible, be presented on a 1:1 basis, in order to allow easy comparison with your original. It is also possible to request a bilingual version of a contract, so that you can see the languages next to each other to facilitate your work.
We can do almost anything – just ask! The more detail you give us at the time of the request, the better we will be able to meet your needs.

Interpreting

We provide interpretation services, when you need to give a presentation or make a speech in another language. We can perform interpretation services in a booth or do whispered simultaneous interpreting (chuchotage). When you want to meet a potential business partner, and there is a language barrier, let us take care of it. We are delighted to accompany you to negotiations, company visits, talks and any other type of meeting.
The company’s owner and founder has years of experience working as an interpreter, and a bachelor’s degree in four languages: Italian, German, Spanish and English.
When it comes to requests in other language combinations we will hand pick the interpreter from our network that will best meet your needs. In order to provide the most suitable language mediator for your request, it is very important to make us aware of special circumstances or limitations in advance of your event or business meeting. Kindly provide as many details as possible, so we can select the perfect mediator for you. Here’s what we ask of you, dear customers: Please give as much input as possible so we can provide you the highest quality interpreting service. Perhaps surprisingly, most of an interpreter’s work occurs before your event: each service is prepared by studying the material and the industry beforehand, in order to clarify terms for flawless performance on the day. It is important that you work with an interpreter who is specialized in your field. It would not make sense to appoint an interpreter specialized in medicine to meet your business partners to discuss the acquisition of an engineering company. When it comes to meetings that require legal training, you can rest assured that the person accompanying you has dual skills: expert in both law and languages. The same must be true then when it comes to interpretation in a technical field. Who better for the job than a professional interpreter-translator that speaks your language – and we mean that both linguistically and professionally! They know your native language AND the professional jargon too!

Sicilian cooking classes

A volcanic experience!

We are at the foot of Etna, the highest and most active volcano in Europe.
Are you interested in learning the Sicilian language and do you feel curious about the nature and cuisine of the beautiful Mediterranean island? Then you have found the right place.
Close your eyes and imagine you are sitting in the middle of an orange grove, in the shade of a tree, with the scent of orange blossom and the view of the sea…..
You can take part in the orange harvest. We will go together to explore the beauty of this island, to select the ingredients and to cook local, traditional dishes. Giovanna, a passionate cook, will accompany us.
Below there’s a first recipe that you can try at home. We know that in Sicily everything is relative. And this also applies to the kitchen, there are no exact amounts …

SICILIAN ORANGE SALAD

– Oranges (“Tarocco” variety)
– red onion
– black olives
– basil
– (mint)
– extra virgin olive oil
…and a little salt and pepper.

Cut the onion, remove the white peel from the oranges and cut them into long pieces. Mix all the ingredients and add the fresh basil at the end. You can add mint to make it taste fresher.
This is just a small example of what Sicilian cuisine is all about.
We also chose a very simple recipe. Once you come to Sicily, you will have the chance to get to know the Sicilian cuisine properly.
If you are interested, contact us and we will send you a calendar with the activities organized for our cooking weekends in Catania.
It will be a pleasure to receive your suggestions, of course we will consider your personal needs when planning the excursions and lessons.
