Translation Agency UK

As well as being a leading translation service provider, we also offer a range of language services for other needs. As well as translation services, we can also help with professional interpreting services for verbal communication. We also offer a transcription service for video or audio files. For video files, we also offer subtitling options, which can be delivered in a time-stamped format compatible with most video files. We can also offer translation for audio or video, with or without transcription in the original language.

All of these services can be offered in over 150 languages. We only ever use native speakers of the language you want your file translated into for the best accuracy and the most natural-sounding result.

As a leading translation agency, we offer a full range of specialist translation services. Specialist translation services are useful when you have a translation project that is specific to a certain industry or field – for example, technical documents for engineering are best translated by someone with engineering experience, while medical documents are best translated by a linguist with medical experience. This is due to the use of highly specialist terminologies in documents like these. If you use a standard translation service – even standard professional translation services – there is a risk that the documents could be poorly translated.

This is why we use translators with experience in the translation industry, translation theory, and their own specialist field of expertise.

As a leading translation company based in the United Kingdom, we know how many different languages and dialects can be spoken – for every language we offer translation services for, we make sure to use a native tongue translator. This means that the translation expert handling the translation of your documents is a native speaker of your target language, and is fluent in your source language.

Unlike some translation companies, we believe that the best translations come from people translating into their native language, as this means they can best capture the nuance and tone needed for the finished translation. While a foreign-language speaker of your chosen language may not notice the difference between their translation and a native translation, we always find that native speakers respond much better to translation done by other native linguists, as the text flows and reads better. This is why we only offer translation services using professional translation experts who speak your chosen language natively.

With the advancement of technology, we find that more and more people are turning to computer translation or machine translation. This is where a piece of computer software is used for translation. Most people will have come across this in the form of Google Translate or other similar free web-based translators. Computer translation often appeals to people as it can be quick and cheap. However, we find that machine translation always leaves a lot to be desired. There is also a real risk of confidentiality issues with machine translation, which can be a huge problem when dealing with official documents.

Machines or software can only complete document translation using algorithms that work via translation memory.

Translation memory means that the computer software translates words and short phrases using previous translations it has completed. This can lead to errors – a computer cannot read or understand the text or audio that you give to it, so it can only translate things in a formulaic way. While this might seem acceptable for a rough estimate, if you are trying to read a foreign language ingredient list or similar, we strongly recommend using human translators for important translations, especially official documents.

Human translators can understand your document and can make sure that your finished document has the right nuance, flow, and feel for your target audience. As well, only human translators can provide a certified translation service for any official purposes. This is why we, as a top translation agency, only offer human translations from one of our expert linguists.

The cost of a translation job varies based on a number of different factors, including the length, determined either by the word count for written documents or the minute count for audio or video files, the complexity of the project, and your target languages.
