Education Translation Services

All education translations share one common goal: to enable learning by correctly interpreting the true meaning of the original text. A good education translation is more than a faithful rendition of the original: it has the power to inspire, and uses both culturally relevant idiom and subject-specific terminology to achieve student engagement and retention. Poor translations—such as an incorrectly paraphrased section of a medical textbook or an inaccurately worded exam question—can have potentially catastrophic physical, psychological, legal, and financial consequences for learners, teachers, and institutions. The existence of convoluted language, and often language that carries more than one potential meaning for translation—such as ‘further education’ or the ‘organised leisure-time occupations’ referred to in subsection 3b of the Education Act 1996—requires not only a high level of linguistic skill but a wealth of technical expertise. Our translators are acknowledged subject experts with a minimum of five years’ experience in their field. We are honoured to have worked with some of the most respected education providers in the world, including University of London, Cambridge University and Oxford University, providing top-grade material for prospectuses, brochures, E-learning tools, university websites, research materials, subject translations, academic papers, reports, and textbooks.

Semantic and Stylistic Education Translation Experts

Our team of highly qualified professional education translators works with a deep understanding of the semantic and stylistic intricacies of academia. Our expertise, coupled with subject-specific comprehension and practical knowledge, gives us the ability to understand and appropriately use the terminologies and language codes specific to academic writing: style manuals, systems of reference, and the correct attribution of quotes and sources in a text. We understand the differences between the writing styles of MLA to APA, and from Harvard to MHRA, our education translations are completed with a clarity and efficiency that both respects the rules and conventions of the source material and understands the systems required in the target language.

Translating New Technologies

Technology is prevalent in everyday life, but its limited availability to learners, teachers, and lecturers remains a hot-button issue in the world of education. We help schools, colleges, and universities promote the importance of making new technologies available to learners from all backgrounds by providing education translations for E-learning course materials, research papers, practical technology kits, guides, and techtorials. The expert education translations we provide are supported by the latest translation software, which picks out commonly used phrases and stores them in your profile for future use—so you save money on future projects by never paying for the same translation twice. Your translation profile grows as we perform more translations for you, enabling us to cut the cost of your future projects by up to 70 %. We have a quick turnaround time, a next-day service, and work in all time zones. If it is your role to inspire, educate, or disseminate academic materials in multiple languages, our education translation services offer the accuracy and support you need.
