Libra Prevodioci

Translation from a Belgrade office, delivered online

Libra Prevodioci is a translation agency that has operated since 2016 from an office in Belgrade. Its work is organised entirely online, so it serves customers across Serbia and abroad. The agency says its team covers more than thirty languages, including English, Russian, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic and Hungarian, and that it has worked with several thousand clients, from individuals and authors to companies and institutions.

From technical texts to books

The agency handles technical translation in fields such as law, economics, medicine, psychology, construction and information technology, as well as scientific papers and books, where it has worked with authors and publishing houses. Its translators include court-certified interpreters who produce certified translations of legal and personal documents. It also offers proofreading and copy editing, interpreting (simultaneous and consecutive) and the translation of website content, where content writers on the team help with the quality of the result.

How a job runs

A customer sends a document by email for a free estimate, and the file is treated as confidential. The agency then identifies the type of text, the number of pages and the deadline, and replies with an offer that states the price with no hidden costs. Each project goes to a translator whose education and experience match the subject. The finished translation arrives electronically in the agreed format and time. Certified translations are the exception: the stamped original is collected from a court interpreter at an agreed location. The agency says price depends on deadline, length, difficulty and whether certification is needed.

Why it argues for human translators

The agency argues against relying on free machine translation, explaining that software cannot judge context, so it can choose a wrong meaning for a key word and change a whole text. Technical material is therefore translated together with a specialist in the field and then checked by a proofreader, and large projects are coordinated by a project manager so that several translators agree on terms and phrases.

Who it has worked with

The agency lists the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, the national government and several ministries, most faculties of the University of Belgrade, museums, institutes, publishers, international organisations and companies in construction, pharmaceuticals and IT among its clients. It also runs a blog on grammar, language and business communication.
