Why your referral brief needs a language direction

Write the direction explicitly

Use a clear description such as 'French to English' or 'English to French'. If a document contains several languages, list the sections you can identify and flag anything uncertain. Do not guess a language from a file name or a country alone.

Ask whether the client has a preferred regional form, audience or terminology. A target language can be shared across several markets while the intended reader still matters. If the receiving organisation gives a specific instruction, include that wording in the brief.

Keep language coverage distinct from project acceptance

Enuncia Global serves 200+ languages, but the actual direction, subject, format and timing still require review. Do not turn a broad language-coverage statement into an unconditional promise for a particular deadline.

Your introduction becomes more useful when the language direction sits alongside volume, intended use and desired output. Get permission to share the enquiry, then let Enuncia confirm feasibility and scope. If language identification is uncertain, make that an explicit question at the start.
