02 The gap we fill

You don't need an in-house translation department.
You need your content translated… now!

Your translation needs are real but irregular. Not enough to justify in-house linguists, an AI stack and the training to run it. Too important to paste into a free tool and hope for the best. That in-between is exactly where we live: a fast, affordable, on-demand studio you call only when you need it.

03 Why a studio — not software, not an agency

Smarter than raw AI.
Leaner than an agency.

vs. raw AI

Keep the speed, lose the risk.

Machine translation alone turns idioms into accidents and quietly stores whatever you feed it. A professional sits between the engine and your reader — so it sounds right and stays private.

vs. agencies

No theatre. Just the work.

No briefings, no kickoff calls, no account managers relaying messages. You talk straight to a translator with twenty years behind them — someone who needs very few instructions to know exactly what to do.

vs. in-house

Pay only when you need it.

No salaries, no software licences, no onboarding, no fixed costs sitting idle between projects. Senior capability on tap, and a single line on the invoice.

04 Confidentiality

Right now, someone on your team is pasting your words into a public AI.

Free, public AI tools can store, reuse and even train on whatever you give them — contracts, strategy, customer data. Companies have leaked source code and dismissal letters exactly this way. We work the opposite way: your content is never sent to a public, consumer AI, and never used to train a single model. Presto runs on isolated enterprise AI under strict no-training, zero-retention terms; Crescendo, Maestro and Libretto are human-led, using only our private, proprietary AI checks. Your words stay between you and your translator.

No public AI No model training Zero data retention

13 Reputation

Flawless. On time.
For twenty years.

Handing your words to someone you've never met takes trust. Agencies, brands and in-house teams gave it — and came back, again and again. Here's why, in their own words.

AM

You'll deal directly with Alessandro Marchesello — the translator behind the studio: 20+ years across technical, software, marketing and subtitle work, rated 5.0 on ProZ. Every job is translated or personally checked by him. No handoffs, no juniors.

14 Questions, answered

Asked often.
Answered straight.

Which language pairs do you cover?

Presto covers English, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese into Italian — and Italian into English. Maestro, our fully human translation, is offered exclusively for English ↔ Italian. Crescendo (revision) and Libretto (original copy) are available in both Italian and English.

What file formats do you handle?

Anything you can email: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, subtitle files, software strings, website exports or plain text. If you can send it, we can work with it — and you get it back in the same format.

How fast is fast?

Presto moves up to 10,000 words a day, and smaller jobs often come back within 24–48 hours. Tell us your deadline: if it's feasible, we'll commit to it in writing — and we don't miss deadlines we've committed to.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

Revisions are included. Tell us what reads off and we'll work on it until it's right — no surcharge, no friction. Twenty years of 5.0 reviews were earned exactly this way.

How does prepaid credit work?

You top up once (€500 gets +10%, €1,750 gets +20%, €5,000 gets +30%), we confirm your balance in writing, and each job is simply deducted at your quoted rate. The credit never expires and works across all four services.

Will you sign our NDA?

Yes. Confidentiality is already the default here — your content never touches public AI tools and is never used to train models — but if your legal team wants an NDA, send it along with the job.

Do we get a proper invoice?

Of course: every job comes with a regular invoice from an EU-based business, payable by bank transfer. One line on it, no hidden extras.

Tell us what you need

Send the document, or just a few lines about the job. You'll get a price and a delivery date back — usually within the same day.
