They say that a picture is worth a thousand words! While this may be true, art translation services ensure that artwork and relevant documents are translated into over 200 global languages and in your chosen format.
Here at Absolute Translations – a leading translation company, our team approaches translation services the same way an artist begins his masterpieces. Our translators take a creative and innovative approach to all of our translation projects. In fact, all of our translators have background interest and in-depth knowledge of the arts. We appreciate all of the challenges people within the industry face – especially when communicating with diverse, international audiences. Therefore, we provide an efficient and reliable art translation service to help you understand your audience.
Whether it’s an artist themselves or an art buyer, these two unique audiences will expect a different style of language. For example, the style of language used for an in-flight magazine to promote an exhibition needs to be different from a caption card under a painting. Therefore, the language our translators use is adapted to suit the specific style of the arts. Over the last 20 years, our team has worked with a number of galleries and auction houses. These include the Tate Gallery, Victoria and Albert Museum, National Gallery, Christie’s and many more.
Much like the art industry, the translation industry has both a vast breadth and depth to cover a variety of mediums. We understand that the translation of art and culture requires a different approach to translation than other industries. Our translators understand the intricacies of the art world and specific art terminology. For example, in English, the ‘Mona Lisa’ is exactly that! Whereas French speakers refer to it as ‘La Joconde’.
The art industry is one that communicates solely through pictures. Our translation team allows your company to find the words to speak a common language. We provide high-quality voice-over services and video subtitling services for art galleries and auctions. In fact, we recently completed a project for MacDougall Auction House translating a video guide from Russian to English. As an indispensable part of the UK’s art culture, Absolute Translations are the chosen art translation service provider for a number of influential galleries.
