Translation Case Studies

At a glance

These case studies show real translation projects Absolute Translations has delivered — from certified legal and medical work to large multilingual publication projects — with the language pairs, word counts, turnaround times, certification, and outcomes for each. They're a straightforward way to see how we handle the kind of project you might have before you get a quote.

Every project is different, but each one gives a concrete picture of how we work: how we select the right specialist translator, how we manage certification and legalisation where it's needed, how we keep terminology consistent across languages, and how we handle deadlines, formatting, and confidentiality from enquiry through to delivery. Where a client's identity is sensitive we describe them by type rather than name, but the project details — languages, volumes, timescales, and results — are real.

Certified Legal Translation for Probate — English to Greek, Embassy-Legalised

If you're weighing up a translation project — especially one with certification, multiple languages, or specialist subject matter — these examples show what a fully managed job looks like in practice, not just in a sales pitch. Whatever your document type, sector, or language pair, we can talk you through the right approach and give you a clear quote before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see examples of your translation work?

Yes. The case studies on this page walk through real projects we’ve delivered, covering legal, medical, and multilingual publication work, with the language pairs, word counts, turnaround times, and outcomes for each. If you’d like to talk through a project similar to your own, you can use our online quote tool or contact our team directly, and we can point you to the most relevant example.

Do you have experience with my document type, sector, or language pair?

Very likely. We translate across more than 200 language combinations and a wide range of sectors — legal, medical and pharmaceutical, technical, financial, and more — from single certificates to large multilingual projects combining translation, voiceover, subtitling, and formatting. These case studies are only a sample; if your exact sector or language pair isn't shown, it doesn't mean we haven't handled it, so it's always worth asking.

Will my project be kept confidential?

Yes. All our linguists work under NDA, and documents are handled only by in-house staff and approved translators in line with GDPR. This is also why some case study clients are described by type — such as "a UK solicitor firm" — rather than named: we only name a client where they've given permission. Your project is treated the same way, whether or not it's ever featured.

How much will my project cost?

Cost depends on the service, the language pair, the word count, and whether certification or additional services are needed, so we quote each project individually rather than from a fixed price list. You can see indicative rates on our translation prices page, or use our online quote tool to get pricing for your own documents in minutes.
