Ranking of the top ten translation companies in Shanghai

The reason is not that there are no formal translation companies, but that there is no authoritative organization and unified standards to measure the performance of translation companies. Strength in all aspects, therefore, all the "rankings" about translation companies are actually false. As the saying goes: rumors stop among the wise. Don’t be credulous when you see this kind of information;

However, then again, although there are no rankings of translation companies in Shanghai, there are indeed many conscientious translation companies and powerful and qualified translation companies. , these reliable translation companies have the following characteristics in the process of translation business processing:
