From Muslim Indonesians to Hungarian-speaking Czechs, there are limitless audiences for your magazine’s message. Our translators are more than mother-tongue speakers of your target language: they also live and work in hundreds of destinations around the world, and can work to your timeframe. Our cultural knowledge ensures your content is always translated sensitively and with an ear for the nuances that count. We understand, for example, that humour varies dramatically from language to language and from culture to culture. We know that an editorial voice suitable for one territory may need to be modified to avoid offending another. Plus our subject expertise gives you the edge when it comes to writing authoritatively about specialist topics. Whether you’re discussing philosophical issues, the latest developments in civil engineering, or upcoming company milestones, our translators are masters of the industry and subject-specific terms you use in editorials, articles, and think pieces.
Our magazine translators are supported by a full suite of DTP solutions, which we are able to deliver directly into the territories in which you publish. Whether you publish a food magazine in Farsi or a political magazine in Polish, our specialist multilingual typesetters lay out your translations perfectly. We’re able to typeset in pictorial writing systems such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and can handle any text orientation. Our multilingual magazine DTP team accepts artwork in multiple file types – allowing you to publish effortlessly in more than 200 languages. Additionally, we use cutting-edge translation memory software to make your magazine translations more efficient and reduce costs. The software compiles a lexicon of your frequently-used phrases and uses it to cut down translation time for future projects. The more translations we do for you, the less you pay.

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!
