Absolute Translations has a long record of providing professional interpreting services in Birmingham, the most culturally mixed city in the UK, where diversity and multiculturalism have fuelled economic growth. As the largest engineering and manufacturing centre in the country, with three universities, world-class medical institutions, a thriving corporate culture, and a lively business start-up scene, there’s a continual need for high-quality interpretation in Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Bengali, Polish, and other languages, whether it’s for business negotiation, legal hearings, local government meetings or medical situations. Birmingham is a business boomtown, home to the offices of many international firms and a corporate community with a wide range of interpretation needs, from conferences to phone meetings and corporate law consultations. A large number of UK and international banks have offices in the city, as do over 500 law firms, meaning that corporate and legal interpretation is in high demand. Birmingham is currently an investment magnet, attracting more foreign investors than any other city in the region, as creative and tech companies pour into redevelopment areas like the new Birmingham Eastside. So, whether you’re a startup needing to connect with a foreign market, or an established business wanting to communicate with a global branch or new overseas partners, Absolute Translations can help communication go smoothly with the help of our translation services. Some of our clients include: University Hospital Birmingham, Crown Prosecution Service, BBC, Virgin, Barclays, HSBC, River Island, Nando’s, Just Eat, Hilton, BP, and Apple.
We've helped global brands and smaller businesses expand in 38 countries and 200 languages.

Birmingham is a national centre for conferences of all kinds; the city’s many world-class conference venues such as the new Birmingham Conference and Events Centre, the ICC Birmingham and the nearby National Conference Centre attract clients in the corporate, scientific, and academic fields.

Whether your conference attendees come from China, Europe, India, or elsewhere, Absolute Translations can provide a team of experienced simultaneous translators in the necessary languages. The interpreters will all be native speakers used to working under the unique high-pressure conditions of a conference, and Absolute Translations can also provide all interpreting equipment including booths and microphones if required.

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!
