Manchester Interpreting Services bridge language barriers, grasp cultural nuances, and aid communication effectively - quickly, accurately, and at a great price.
Manchester has been called Britain’s ‘city of languages’, and it’s easy to see why; there are an estimated 200 languages spoken by the 2.55 million inhabitants, and half the city’s adult population speaks more than one language. This diversity has fuelled the city’s growth, and today Manchester’s economy is a success story, growing faster than any other in the UK. Absolute Translations supplies interpreters in all of Manchester’s most spoken languages, including Urdu, Chinese, Arabic, Punjabi, Somali, Polish, and Bengali, working across corporate business, the legal sector, education, medicine, and local government, helping to facilitate communication in a booming economy. Whether you’re a Manchester business looking to boost trade in Chinese and Middle Eastern markets, or you need to connect with a local Urdu or Bengali-speaking audience, our professional, experienced interpreters can help. We have worked with a wide range of clients in many sectors, from the flourishing tech start-up scene in the city to events at the world-class Manchester University and Manchester Metropolitan University.
We've helped global brands and smaller businesses expand in 38 countries and 200 languages.

Quick turnaround and fantastic service
I want to thank Mattia and his team for being so brilliant. I needed some documents translated from English into French quickly, and they was able to meet the deadline. There were quite a few documents and required a professional level of translation with certification. At all times, Mattia was helpful, courteous and responsive. I definitely recommend this company.
