Exceptional Service at a Great Price!

I had a fantastic experience with Absolute Translations. They were incredibly helpful and responsive in catering to my translation needs. Not only did they provide a professional translation promptly, but they also managed to notarise my documentation in a very short time, which saved me a lot of stress. On top of that, the cost was quite reasonable compared to other translation services I looked into. Their service was efficient, reliable, and highly professional throughout. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality translations or notarisation services.

Excellent translation of Greek Will at fair price

Marta Silva was incredibly helpful in providing a speedy and urgent translation of a Greek will so that we could apply for Probate of an estate in the UK. The translation was produced within 24 hours of instruction and was very professionally carried out with a Statement form the official translator. Despite additions Marta honoured the original quote. Will definitely use them again.

ASIAN LINGUISTIC FACTS

IS ASIAN A LANGUAGE?

The Asian continent is made up of many countries, so rather than just one single tongue there are many Asian languages. In Asia, some of the tongues spoken are Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, but there are many many more.

HOW MANY ASIAN LANGUAGES ARE THERE?

In Asia, around 2,300 vernaculars are spoken today by an estimated 4.46 billion people. The most commonly spoken Asian tongues are Chinese, Hindi, Bengali, Japanese and Indonesian.

WHAT LANGUAGE DO ASIAN SPEAK?

The most widely spoken language in Asia is the Chinese language, though this is broken up into numerous forms of Chinese such as traditional Chinese, Mandarin, Simplified Chinese and more. When you need Asian translation services it is essential to know what target audience you are translating for as you may find low-quality translation services.

HOW TO TELL ASIAN LANGUAGES APART?

Many Asian translation services struggle to accurately translate traditional Chinese and other dialects. That's why we only use native-speaking translators who can correctly identify and accurately translate written text and transcribe all dialects of Chinese. We employ skilled linguists who natively speak a wide range of Asian languages so no matter which vernacular your project is in, or which one you need it translated into, we can provide high quality translation services every time.

ARE NATIVE AMERICAN LANGUAGES RELATED TO ASIAN LANGUAGES?

There has been no definitive proof that Native American languages are linked to Asian tongues, but there is some belief that they could be, because genetically Native Americans are closely related to East Asians.

WHAT ASIAN LANGUAGE IS THE EASIEST TO LEARN?

It is often thought Indonesian or Malay are the easiest forms of Asian to learn and there are many elearning courses available to learn these vernaculars.

WHAT’S THE HARDEST ASIAN LANGUAGE TO LEARN?

Mandarin Chinese, though widely spoken is often considered one of the hardest tongues to learn.

As there are over 2000 Asian languages and there is some overlap with some of them. To achieve a totally correct translation always use a translation service that uses native-speaking translators such as Absolute Translations.

Chinese is an Asian language that has seven dialects; Mandarin Guan, Hakka/Keija, You, Wue, and Min.

WHY DO ASIAN LANGUAGES USE SYMBOLS?
