Absolute Translations has a long record of providing professional interpreting services in Birmingham, the most culturally mixed city in the UK, where diversity and multiculturalism have fuelled economic growth. As the largest engineering and manufacturing centre in the country, with three universities, world-class medical institutions, a thriving corporate culture, and a lively business start-up scene, there’s a continual need for high-quality interpretation in Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Bengali, Polish, and other languages, whether it’s for business negotiation, legal hearings, local government meetings or medical situations. Birmingham is a business boomtown, home to the offices of many international firms and a corporate community with a wide range of interpretation needs, from conferences to phone meetings and corporate law consultations. A large number of UK and international banks have offices in the city, as do over 500 law firms, meaning that corporate and legal interpretation is in high demand. Birmingham is currently an investment magnet, attracting more foreign investors than any other city in the region, as creative and tech companies pour into redevelopment areas like the new Birmingham Eastside. So, whether you’re a startup needing to connect with a foreign market, or an established business wanting to communicate with a global branch or new overseas partners, Absolute Translations can help communication go smoothly with the help of our translation services. Some of our clients include: University Hospital Birmingham, Crown Prosecution Service, BBC, Virgin, Barclays, HSBC, River Island, Nando’s, Just Eat, Hilton, BP, and Apple.
We've helped global brands and smaller businesses expand in 38 countries and 200 languages.

I recently used Absolute Translations for a email translation that required urgent attention, and they delivered the work quickly and efficiently, which I really appreciated. However, I found their pricing to be a bit on the higher side — there’s definitely room for improvement in that area. Overall, great for fast service, but the cost could be more competitive.
