It sounds translated
Word-for-word translations from Russian are grammatical but feel foreign to a Kazakh-speaking guest — and quietly signal that they are an afterthought.
For restaurants, retail and hospitality brands in Kazakhstan
Kazakh that reads like it was written in Kazakh.
We audit your website, menus, signage and campaigns for unnatural, machine-translated and incorrect Kazakh — and give you evidence for every issue plus a natural rewrite your team can publish.

Why it matters
Guests notice in one line.
Kazakh is required
Kazakhstan's Law on Languages requires menus, price lists, signs and advertising to be in Kazakh. Being there is not enough — it has to be understood.
Mistakes multiply
One awkward template ends up on every menu, sign, delivery listing and branch. Fixing it once at the source fixes it everywhere.

Questions
Before you ask
Is this a legal compliance check?
No. We assess language quality: grammar, naturalness, word choice and faithfulness to the original. Our report is not a legal opinion or a certificate.
Do you fix the text as well?
Yes. Every finding comes with a natural rewrite, and the agreed content is corrected and reviewed by an editor.
What can we send you?
A link to a public web page, a PDF, or photos and screenshots (PNG, JPEG, WebP). If you have the Russian or English original, send it too and we'll check nothing was lost in translation.
Who will see the results?
Only your team. Audits are confidential and we never publish findings. Results are shared in your company's private portal.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the number of channels, pages and locations. We agree a written scope and price with you before any work starts.
