BeTranslated associate Nathan approaches documentation as an essential complement to design, believing technical writing quality should be held to the same strict tolerances as any high-tech component. This view has been strengthened through his years in a rigorous engineering setting, and he has witnessed how good writing and an efficient publications process can improve project execution and customer satisfaction.

A veteran of large-scale projects for overseas clients, Nathan mastered the art of writing for audiences for whom English is a second or even third language. This taught clarity, precision, simplicity. Uncluttered English text leads to higher-quality translations into native languages, a significant advantage in any field as the BeTranslated translators will attest.

Document Editing and Quality Assurance

Nathan serves engineering and management daily as a talented refiner of writing. Technical staff trust that his review will clean and clarify their prose, and raise the impact of the most salient content. His clients affirm the importance of publications quality as a support for, and driver of, quality improvement in all company business processes.

He also skillfully reworks and hones writing from ESL clients targeting the U.S. or other English-speaking market, helping to ensure a higher return on any marketing investment.
