Great Service, Quick Turnaround, Positive Experience
Great, responsive communication from Melis at Absolute Translations. As I'm on a v. limited budget, I chose to translate the document in question myself (being fluent in both languages). Absolute were happy to proof and certify my translation, no quibbles, allowing me to remain solvent! I am very grateful for the service that was provided; quick turnaround and I was able to collect in person at their London offices. Now, let's hope HM Gov accept!
