“From our initial contact through to completion of the work, we found the service provided by you and your team to be very efficient, professional and timely although working to an extremely tight deadline on short notice. iNova would not hesitate to use your translation services again in the future and would certainly recommend Across Translation to others. Thank you once again.” Rodney Turner, iNova Pharmaceuticals
