Reach your audience in their native language, and cater to every possible reader. Our magazine translations are your doorway to a world of new readers. We translate popular, special-interest, and professional publications for a wide variety of clients including VisitBritain, The Economist, Lexus, The National Gallery, Net-a-Porter, and The Body Shop. Our translators are all mother-tongue speakers with a minimum of five years of experience translating in your magazine’s subject area. Plus our local network of global translators means we can place your translation with a translator living and working in your target country within hours of your order. We’re trusted to translate magazines aimed at audiences covering the complete spectrum of specialisms and interests, including technical magazines, arts and culture magazines, corporate magazines, technology magazines, children’s magazines, nature magazines, sports magazines, fashion magazines, and more. Our translators use a creative style to ensure your magazine’s personality and voice are accurately rendered in the target language, and we can handle multilingual typesetting too.

Expert Magazine Translations: Your Message in Any Culture

From Muslim Indonesians to Hungarian-speaking Czechs, there are limitless audiences for your magazine’s message. Our translators are more than mother-tongue speakers of your target language: they also live and work in hundreds of destinations around the world, and can work to your timeframe. Our cultural knowledge ensures your content is always translated sensitively and with an ear for the nuances that count. We understand, for example, that humour varies dramatically from language to language and from culture to culture. We know that an editorial voice suitable for one territory may need to be modified to avoid offending another. Plus our subject expertise gives you the edge when it comes to writing authoritatively about specialist topics. Whether you’re discussing philosophical issues, the latest developments in civil engineering, or upcoming company milestones, our translators are masters of the industry and subject-specific terms you use in editorials, articles, and think pieces.

Nuanced Magazine Translations Published in Your Territory

Our magazine translators are supported by a full suite of DTP solutions, which we are able to deliver directly into the territories in which you publish. Whether you publish a food magazine in Farsi or a political magazine in Polish, our specialist multilingual typesetters lay out your translations perfectly. We’re able to typeset in pictorial writing systems such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and can handle any text orientation. Our multilingual magazine DTP team accepts artwork in multiple file types – allowing you to publish effortlessly in more than 200 languages. Additionally, we use cutting-edge translation memory software to make your magazine translations more efficient and reduce costs. The software compiles a lexicon of your frequently-used phrases and uses it to cut down translation time for future projects. The more translations we do for you, the less you pay.
