    Introduction

    Once you have followed steps 1, 2 and 3, and prepared your translation content, you can use the instructions below to request a translation service.

    However, you can use these instructions if you:

    • are using a mobile device - the screen layout may differ slightly
    • need a different translation service - you may be asked some extra questions.
