How To Choose Your Translation Company

Choosing the right translation company to represent your brand is a crucial decision. You need to be certain that the services you utilise are reputable and that those translating content are native speakers of the language for complete accuracy, as a minimum requirement.

Here at Absolute Translations, our experts can be thought of an extension of your team. We proudly hold over 20 years of experience within our talented teams and are dedicated to help you achieve the results your business deserves.

When choosing your translation company, we recommend considering these factors.

Native Speakers

Anyone can claim they’re fluent in a language and then use Google behind closed doors. Our advice would be to take time to research your translation company’s credibility and don’t be afraid to ask for examples of their work.

Ensure that they use native speakers of the language in question. A native speaker will be able to ensure your translations are both grammatically correct but that they also resonate with your target audience because they too understand the intricacies of the dialect.

At Absolute Translation we always craft your messagingwith a native eye, taking in relevant local context and culture and translating in the appropriate tone and style for each foreign market.Not only are ourtranslators’ mother-tongue speakers, but they live in these key locations to guarantee authentic and up to the minute translation results. With the ability to translate in over 200 languages between us, we can help to put your brand on the map in your target country.

Industry Professionals

Native translation is one thing, but truly understanding the terminology and context behind what is being said is essential for accurate translation. Many companies will have a document or content sent off to be checked for contextual accuracy by an out of house industry professional. Typically, there can be a lot of hoops to jump through and lot of people that need to see a document before it can be released.

At Absolute Translations, we offer a one-stop service. Not only are we expert linguists, but our translators are also specialists within their chosen field to ensure that both the translation and industry terminology is precise. You can rest assured that once you task us with a project, we will complete it in house, meeting our flawless standard and quick delivery times.

Reputation

In this industry, reputation is everything! Your brand messaging and branded content is the blood that runs through the business’s veins. If translation is wrong or not culturally appropriate, this could have a detrimental effect on your company, its credibility and conversion going forwards.

Be sure to examine client testimonials and reviews online. This could be on the company website direct, or via other review pages online. If there is the opportunity to see who your potential translation company has worked with, be sure to take it. The calibre of clientele will speak volumes about the business.

We believe that our translation services are for everyone. From small personal translations to extensive linguistic projects for prominent global brands, Absolute Translations always deliver fast and efficient services. To view some of our previous clients, click here.

Customer Value

Not all businesses are the same. Naturally, each translation plan will have to be different to a degree. Don’t be fooled into thinking you must accommodate your translation company. If they can truly offer what they promise, they will make sure that you receive a service that is the right fit for your requirements. A professional relationship is important in this instance. Your translation provider must know all about your business and expectations to deliver the results you’re hoping for. Remember that translation is personal, especially when it comes to you and your business, so don’t be afraid to reach out if you have a question, your translation company should be more than happy to answer.
