4.8 out of 5 Based on 2219 reviews
Our direct association with the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has enabled us to develop robust translation and research skills in one of the most varied linguistic terrains in the world. The global theatre of defence translation incorporates air defence, cyber defence, aviation and space research, and international strategies for manned and unmanned deployment in a variety of hostile situations. Some other organisations we have assisted include Aerospace Design & Certification, BAE Systems, Greater London Authority, Department for International Development, and UNESCO. Our military sector translations are carried out by native professional translators, who are experts in the science and terminology of governmental defence disciplines, political documentation, and vehicle specifications. Uniquely qualified to provide real military sector translations using acknowledged experts, we answer the challenges of the defence industry by understanding the requirements of every client individually.
We've helped global brands and smaller businesses expand in 38 countries and 200 languages.

Absolute Translations - a superbly professional service
Absolute Translations are absolutely superb, I've used them multiple times in 2024. The service is phenomenal: incredibly quick, accurate, professional and personal from start to finish. The prices seem very reasonable to me but I've not benchmarked I do admit. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Quick turnaround and fantastic service
I want to thank Mattia and his team for being so brilliant. I needed some documents translated from English into French quickly, and they was able to meet the deadline. There were quite a few documents and required a professional level of translation with certification. At all times, Mattia was helpful, courteous and responsive. I definitely recommend this company.
