I’m Lloyd Bingham,
your content partner
Your translator. Your copyeditor. Your proofreader. Your localiser. Your terminology advisor. Your cultural consultant. Your sounding board. Your connotation checker… you get the idea.
I bring your content to English-speaking and global markets, whether it’s through translating, copyediting or copywriting.
So your content makes the impact and gets the results you want.
Content, content, content. Everyone is talking about content these days. But why should you be delivering content in English?
What do you want to do?
Reaching your customers in English unlocks your company’s potential to thrive and grow its revenue.
76% of customers want to buy in a language they understand. 40% will never buy from websites in other languages (CSA Research).
Why limit your growth potential?
Native English speakers are a market of nearly 400 million people and value content in their own language.
Fluent, natural and impactful content is what sells – delivered by a native-English speaker with proven experience in applying the right techniques.
English is the world’s business language.
Maybe you want your brand to cover a wide area, but your resources are stretched thin.
Providing your content in English is an efficient and effective way of reaching a massive global market of 1.5 billion people.
Maybe you’ve already got your content in another language. Perhaps you’ve already drafted something in English. Or you need your content whipped up from scratch.
How do you want to do it?
Translate my content into English
Got content in Dutch, German, French or Spanish?
I’ll transform it into English, transferring the meaning correctly and making sure the tone, style and register hit the right note with the people you want it to reach.
Copyedit my content in English
Already got your content in English?
I’ll go through it with a toothcomb, making corrections and improving it. I’ll check it uses the right terms and turns of phrase, so it appeals to exactly who you want it to.
Write my content in English
Need someone with a fresh perspective to sell your brand?
I’ll produce fluid, written content that activates your target market. Content that creates trust between you as the expert in your field and your prospects.
It’s vital for your content partner to work with you to understand your sector, its concepts and its language.
What’s your sector?
Contracts, T&Cs, tenders, HR policies, meeting minutes, annual reports… can you be sure all your stakeholders can understand them if they’re not drafted by a language professional?

Tech & Cyber
Content for humans.
By a human
Google Translate, ChatGPT… tools that are great for getting the gist of a message.
When it comes to content that needs to convince, sell, reassure, and communicate clearly… then human beats machine. Every time.
Technology can be a fantastic sidekick – one of many in a language specialist’s toolbox. And the human behind it is the main character.
Relying on technology alone – without a human behind it who knows what they’re doing – means running the risk of getting it wrong on so many levels. It doesn’t do context, tone or style like a human can. It just isn’t worth the risk for you or your business’s reputation.
Investing in a content partner means investing in your business’s reputation and growth.
Your questions. Answered
-
Making your content available in just one language limits your company’s potential for growth. That’s why translation is not a cost, it’s an investment. It improves your reach, your user experience and has been proven to turn leads into sales.
-
With over 15 years in the profession, I know from experience what terms, styles, structures and registers resonate with what kinds of audience and for what kinds of purpose.
That said, I’ll work with you to understand your business and sector, and get a feel for your tone of voice and target market, so you’re speaking the same language to all your customers, whatever language they speak.
-
You certainly could.
But are they a qualified linguist? Are they a native speaker of English? Are they an accredited and experienced translator and editor?
Do they know the subtleties between words you might think mean the same thing? Can they produce fluent, native-level content?
Let your people focus on what they do best and your content partner will do the same.
-
For exactly the same reason that your customers come to you.
You’re no jack of all trades – you’re a specialist. You know your onions, and your customers understand the value of that. They don’t want to run the risk of going with someone who claims to do anything and everything, only to come away with content that’s – at best – not fit for purpose and – at worst – dangerously inaccurate.
-
Sure, you could.
But your content needs to be in clear, accurate and native-level language to prevent any miscommunications and misinterpretations. What will your stakeholders think when they come across mistakes in your content?
Machines go wrong and are only as good as the limited data fed into them. They can make a great tool, but you need a human behind the machine to get it right. Why take a huge risk to your business and trust a black box?
Besides, sharing your corporate data with tech giants isn’t great for privacy or security.
Let’s talk content
Anyone can hire a translator, an editor or a copywriter.
It takes a savvy business to engage a content partner.
A translator simply translates. A copyeditor simply edits.
But a content partner translates, edits, revises, reviews, collaborates, consults, advises and bounces ideas around with you – anything to bring added value to your business.
