Why Council Translation Services Need To Be Utilised

In the past few years, local governments have rapidly changed and adapted their processes and services – particularly in the wake of growing multiculturalism. This is clear in the United Kingdom where there are many different languages and cultures apparent. In fact, there are over 300 languages spoken just in London. In order to adapt with these changes, councils have been utilising language services to provide efficient and cost-effective services.

If you’re a local government looking to provide for international residents, Absolute Translations have the perfect solution. We are a leading provider of council translation services in the United Kingdom – with a worldwide team of translators delivering over 200 language combinations. Our team understand the many benefits of using translation services as a council so we have shared them below:

1. Using a professional translation company for council translation services is cost-effective.

A common misconception about translation services is that they are expensive but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Here at Absolute Translations, we offer a cost-effective approach to translation services as we know budgets are often limited. Equally, we understand that local councils must comply with regulations such as the Equality and Diversity Act. Therefore, we guarantee professional legal translation services with experienced translators at an affordable rate.

2. Ensure accuracy and legal compliance.

When it comes to official council documents, any miscommunication and mistakes could result in confusion and upset for your international residents. As a result, translation services are essential to guaranteeing effective and accurate communication in multilingual areas. Not only does using council translation services ensure accuracy in your documents but it will also ensure letters and guides are formatted correctly. Our translation team consists of both native-speaking translators and qualified legal experts to ensure your documents meet local requirements.

3. Help build a connection between you and your residents.

When you utilise translation services as a council, you guarantee clearer and more effective communication; especially with residents who don’t speak your native language. Our translators will not only help you adapt your letters and local information into a target language but it will be tailored to the culture as well. Therefore, your residents will feel welcomed into the area.
