The language of the public sector is a minefield of abbreviations, acronyms, discipline-specific terminology and consulting buzzwords. Multiple stakeholder viewpoints, cultural melding and geography all play a part in determining the most suitable terminology for your political message. Absolute Translations’ goal is to help local councils and national government organisations bridge the gap between legislation, social change, and the people these entities affect. Some of the organisations we have worked for include The Crown Estate, Citizens Advice Bureau, Birmingham City Council, Manchester City Council, Newcastle City Council, Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, Greater London Authority, Cabinet Office, Audit Commission, MOD, Department for International Development, The Labour Party and The International Trade Centre. From sustainability to budgeting, our government translation services are always targeted at your audience, both legislatively and culturally.
We've helped global brands and smaller businesses expand in 38 countries and 200 languages.

Great Service, Quick Turnaround, Positive Experience
Great, responsive communication from Melis at Absolute Translations. As I'm on a v. limited budget, I chose to translate the document in question myself (being fluent in both languages). Absolute were happy to proof and certify my translation, no quibbles, allowing me to remain solvent! I am very grateful for the service that was provided; quick turnaround and I was able to collect in person at their London offices. Now, let's hope HM Gov accept!
