I’m a professional freelance translator and I’ve been working with Studio CDP for many years. They (Daniela and Patrizia) are true professionals, who take great care not only to ensure translations’ quality but also to enable us, the professionals, to deliver the very best. This means complete respect, the highest level of support, fair rates and payment on time ALWAYS. Working with them gives me great pleasure and I hope to continue for many years to come.

Respect, trust, transparency. These are the central values of my partnership with Studio CDP, and values I strongly believe in. A professional relationship based on mutual respect, where there’s always space for open, constructive discussion. And it’s this human element that creates a climate of collaboration, where you feel valued. Daniela has the ability to appreciate and combine the needs of the translator and the client, managing projects with professionalism and attention to detail. All this means we can work in harmony and achieve our shared aim: to provide clients with the best possible service.

Being a translator isn’t easy! Being a translator doesn’t just mean transposing a text from one language to another! Most people think you only have to know a language to be able to translate a text …. but that’s not true. Only a translator can understand how long you have to spend on a translation to ensure the text is correct and reads well. This one of the reasons why I like working for Studio CDP, a firm basically founded by translators who know what translating means and above all the time it takes to do a good job. But above all I like the opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues, and the teamwork. Last but not least, the trust they show in us and the freedom of expression they grant us make working with Daniela and Patrizia, the founders, a real pleasure!

I’ve been working with Daniela/Studio CDP for a very long time. They have two outstanding features – human and professional. When I was pregnant with my twins, Daniela supported me from a distance, waiting patiently for me to come out of hospital and deliver my jobs, always saying “Don’t worry, when you can is fine.”
She always asks me how my kids are doing. In terms of our profession, she always prioritises precision, consistency and the clarification of any moot points, so the client gets the very best product, which fully expresses the original. It’s a great pleasure and honour to work with Studio CDP!

Why do I like working for Studio CDP? Because Daniela’s the only AGENCY (yes, I admit, for me Daniela and Studio CDP are one and the same) that takes the trouble to phone me…
Because I may end up discussing work with her even on the 1st of May, yes, that’s right, Italian Labour Day!
Because she explains every new project to me clearly and precisely ….
Because she motivates me to deliver a tailor-made service.
Because she shows she appreciates my work by saying that “Thanks, great job” you never hear anywhere else …. Studio CDP’s strengths? The variety of topics covered (less boring)
The Project Managers’ professional expertise
A very strong agency that appreciates our importance as linguists, realising that AI will never be able to replace our skills or, especially, the wonderful, subtle things each of us can do with words! Wonderful human beings!

I’ve worked with Studio CDP for many years now and I’ve always appreciated their professional approach to projects, with a strong focus on both the client’s and the translator’s needs. We’ve always worked together as a team, in a real partnership, which is fundamental for a job well done. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend the Agency as a meticulous, professional, courteous partner.

I really like working with Studio CPD for a number of reasons, for example the fact that for them ethics aren’t merely an abstract concept; they’re a well established routine practice. Daniela’s a manager with a human touch, who respects the translator’s role, showing she values it in the way she relates to us as translators, editors and interpreters in every aspect of the process.

Bespoke. I can find no better word to describe Studio CDP’s approach. Translating for Studio CDP is always a pleasure for me, and also an opportunity for growth. They empathise with the client, becoming fully familiar with their style, needs and aims, and their texts’ intended target. The close relationship of mutual respect and trust they build with clients and with us, the translators, leads to a very strong partnership, meticulous about details and based on the exchange of ideas and information. It’s always painstaking teamwork, involving shared discussions and lengthy phone calls to find the right term. And it ends with the satisfaction of having created something unique!

Daniela’s a very understanding person and she makes you feel appreciated. With Studio CDP, jobs always proceed smoothly and calmly, considering the needs of everyone involved.

For years now my main client has been the European Court of Justice, an excellent client that allows me the luxury of being very selective about the other customers I serve. I now do very little work for the big agencies; I much prefer the smaller outfits, also because personal relationships matter a great deal to me.
I hit it off with Daniela at once; I really like her helpfulness and flexibility, and of course she’s great fun! And if she sends me a last-minute urgent translation to do at the end of July just as I’m packing my bags for my holiday (it happens most years), since I appreciate her friendship so much, I’ll do my best to find the time!
I believe strongly in specialisation. Food producers can’t run the risk of using AI for their translations; the EU rules are extremely strict and finding the right term can be very tricky. That’s the value added that you and we can provide.

For me, a translator, having someone tell you immediately “take the time you need, what matters is the quality of the finished translation”, with awareness of the effort that goes into every project is priceless, because it means I can really focus on the job. I also really appreciate the precision Daniela and the Studio CDP team bring to the review phase; I’ve always received sound feedback, which is a guarantee of a job well done. With them, professionalism still means taking the right time over every single text, a big positive for me.

I love working with Studio CDP, because they let you focus on the job, confident that you can count on open, constructive discussion and inputs at any time. Daniela herself isn’t just a colleague, she’s a long-standing friend. I’ve appreciated her integrity and professional standards for all the time I’ve known her.

It’s always a pleasure to work for CDP. You immediately feel part of a team and you can be sure of getting all the cooperation you need to achieve the final goal: an excellent translation! Daniela knows our profession inside-out, and she knows that often the literal translation provided by machine systems isn’t enough for a good result. She’s well aware that contents have to be communicated accurately, making sure the text’s meaning isn’t lost in translation. She also knows that machine translation can’t give consideration to cultural subtleties and adapt the text to the cultural and codes of communication of the destination country – where, moreover, there may be a choice of completely different grammar and syntax structures.
Last but not least, and equally important to me, Daniela never forgets to give me credit for a job well done and show she appreciates my part in our joint effort to help people to communicate and thus understand each other better.

Professionalism, precision and punctuality are fundamental in any job and I’ve found by experience that Studio CPD has all these characteristics, and they’re what makes it stand out from other translation agencies.
Naturally, a firm as sound and dynamic as CDP is going to be run by able, enterprising people, and that’s how I’d describe Daniela: she’s a determined, direct, genuine, honest, transparent person. Working with her, I find that she strikes the right balance, nurturing relationships on both the working and the human level, so she’s also a dear friend and companion in the wonderful world of languages.

I think the basic concept is “translations with human value added”, which lies in the quality both of the texts themselves and of the support provided not just to clients but also to everyone involved in the production process.

I like working with Studio CDP because together we can create something new and interesting. I enjoy collaborating to achieve a common aim, and learn something together in the process. Working with you lets me put my skills into practice and assist you in the most effective way. I also love exploring different topics and helping you to come up with creative solutions to problems. Last but not least, I like working with you because of the human relationships that have always accompanied our professional contacts.

I like working with Studio CDP because they put people first and value every individual’s specific expertise. Daniela isn’t just a reliable, competent, highly experienced contact: she’s also a kind, understanding, fun person, always ready to exchange ideas and clear up doubts. What I’ve liked most about working with Studio CDP is that I’ve never had the impression I was interacting with a cold digital interface. Quite the opposite: I’ve realised I’m dealing with a strong, solid, united team of professionals, with great human value.

I’ve not been working with Daniela and Studio CDP for long, but I immediately realised they were partners I could talk to on an equal footing. I really appreciate communication with Daniela; in a world of chatbots and automated replies, she’s definitely “old style”, but nonetheless quick and effective. I find the Studio CDP staff reliable, courteous, collaborative and always open to dialogue.

I like working with Studio CDP because it’s always been a relationship based on cooperation and dialogue, with the joint aim of giving clients complete satisfaction without ever undervaluing the work of colleagues.

What I like about working for CDP, and small agencies in general, is that stronger sense of real partnership. I like the two-way communication in search of the right translation or “feel” for a text. This always provides a more human element and makes a text more readable and exciting. There’s also more time for proofreading! What sense does it make if a business invests in translating its website or other material if you can’t make head or tail of the end result? It makes a terrible impression. It’s like the difference between buying a pair of shoes from Temu and hoping for the best and going to a bespoke shoemaker who’ll give you a distinctive, top-quality product.
