As ATC and EUATC members, we prioritise your satisfaction by upholding the highest standards in business ethics and translation quality.
Celebrating 20+ years, Absolute Translations has mastered the art of providing quality translations at transparent, low prices to meet your language needs.
Absolute Translations is GDPR compliant, with independently regulated information and security systems, putting your data security first.
Our experienced translators know that localising a website or app for a Japanese audience is a more complex task than simply translating the words on the screen. With a language so structurally different from English, localisation comes up against the challenges of a text contraction of up to 55% between English and Japanese, and grammar and vocabulary with no direct translation, like Keigo, the Japanese system of honorifics, a concept not used in English. That’s why a company needs to keep its brand message intact by working with native-speaking translators living in Japan and steeped in its culture. Our translators all have five years or more track record translating digital platforms into Japanese, from compelling email campaigns and social media posting to making a customer journey crystal clear on a new app. Our in-house typesetters and designers can take away the headache of text contraction and a different writing system, ensuring that your Japanese site has the same visual pop as your English one, with button text, calls to action, and other key page elements arranged to achieve the greatest effect. And because we use cutting-edge translation software to build a bespoke language memory for your company as we work, storing your specialist terminology, your translations are consistent across all platforms. That means the job gets done quicker and you only pay for duplicate translations once.
Absolute Translations works with an army of global brands, including banks, charities, ecommerce retailers and tech companies, to make their message transparent to their Japanese customers, business partners, clients and employees. Whether it’s tweaking your SEO strategy to fit local search terms, adapting product descriptions to hit regional pain points or accurately translating terms and conditions and privacy policies, we can be trusted to find the right words to fit your brand and your site. A member of the Association of Translation Companies and proud to be a Goldman Sachs 10ksb partner, Absolute Translations holds two ISO certifications, the most recent a certification specifically for translation companies. We are constantly investing in new technology to help our team of human translators work more accurately and efficiently. The result is quick, accurate translation that goes a step beyond, plugging you in to local Japanese culture and opening a direct line to your target audience. Partner with the Japanese experts at Absolute Translations and broadcast your brand message without interference throughout the Japanese-speaking world.

The only people willing to help at short notice
I was in a desperate need to have a same day certified translation of a Chinese document into English for a passport application. In fact it was 2pm when I found out it was necessary. By searching on Google I tried 4 other companies which couldn't get it done on time. This was the only company that would go the extra mile and help me out. I had excellent service and would highly recommend them above all other translation service companies. I can't thank them enough!
