Location
We are a translation company based in Auckland, New Zealand, but we do translate for clients throughout the world.
New Zealand time zone is GMT+12 April - September or GMT+13 September - April. This enables us to work while you sleep if you are located in Europe. You can send us your document at the end of your day, and the translation can be ready in your inbox by the time you get up.*
