Authenticity is Strategic.

We go beyond linguistics, with precision: we translate culture, essence and authenticity. We’ve built a team with decades of combined experience across industries and countries. We’ve travelled, had multiple careers and built perspective.

Our Why.

Excellent translation companies already exist. Why start another one?

We created Bishop & Melo to serve clients in their most sensitive moments and most important documents. Instead of having the same process for all projects, our team adapts to what really matters to the client. We go deeper. We handle a multinational company’s yearly report and a political speech very differently — and our clients know that our experts also have experience in both large companies and in political campaigning. While the world is obsessed with automation, we offer a bespoke spectrum: from most efficient to most effective, depending on your priorities, at each time.

After all, excellence in translation is your insurance policy against costly misunderstandings.
