About Us

Welcome to easytexttrans, a service specifically developed to meet the exacting needs of text translation.

We are meticulous with our translations and put the same level of care into looking after our customers. This gives you genuine, ‘small team’ support with ‘global team’ quality of service and expertise. Our singular focus and worldwide reach mean an unrivalled professional experience you can rely on. At easytexttrans, we look after you.

As part of the RIGS family of services, we help organisations talk and trade with clarity through our range of expert multilingual solutions.

RIGS – Bridging Language Barriers

Language is our passion. It’s our mission to assist businesses and organisations in overcoming the linguistic challenges of the global marketplace.

Whether helping companies open new markets or assisting scientists in sharing break-through theories, we continually advance and develop multilingual solutions, striving to deliver precise and effective communications across the globe between all languages. We aim to eliminate language barriers, connect cultures, enable trade for companies, knowledge sharing for experts and to generally make our big world a little smaller and more accessible for everybody to talk, teach and trade together.

Innovative thinking

RIGS is viewed as a pioneer of online linguistic services. Our internet community of language experts and task matching platforms were the first of their kind and have been widely copied across the industry. Through these innovative approaches we connect the right experts to the right project, enable ad-hoc focus groups with specialist knowledge, provide rapid turn-around, multi-layered checking and proofing, shorter lead times and lower costs.

While our in-house platforms are leading-edge, for RIGS technology is not an aim but a tool. We are customer focussed, making our solutions as simple and hands-free as possible for you.

We provide linguistic services which are fast, accurate and incredibly simple to engage – and work on improving them all the time. Our technology makes us agile, our experience and clarity make us a pleasure to work with.
