Our professional multilingual design and typesetting teams work within their specialist language sets, offering a meticulous DTP (desktop publishing) design service in more than 200 language combinations. This eliminates design ‘guesswork’ and gives us a competitive advantage on price and, more importantly, on quality. We also have access to a full range of multilingual fonts, allowing us to handle languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Today, with time-tested experience and investment into specialist software, we are proud to have worked for Hilton Hotels, Lexus, VisitBritain, Gatwick Group, The Economist, and Castrol.
We've helped global brands and smaller businesses expand in 38 countries and 200 languages.

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.
We have multilingual teams of experienced designers, able to work with multiple artwork files. Send us your original artwork in InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, QuarkXPress, PDF, Microsoft Publisher, and any other format and we will prepare the final files for your printers in more than 200 languages. Our design implementation with integrated language-specific quality control ensures a complete translation and DTP service, delivering high-quality results within your deadlines. Our graphic designers are happy to produce quality artwork for both existing and completely new designs, for your business cards and publications, catalogues, product labels, posters, marketing billboards, manuals, and trade show displays.
We have experience with right-to-left text, such as that of Arabic, and can advise you on the top methods, and how to achieve the best Desktop Publishing results. In the past, Chinese characters were written vertically. Today most Chinese documents are typeset from left to right, the same as Western languages. However, Chinese typesetting still presents more challenges than typesetting in European languages due to font variances and different amounts of space required. We are very experienced in Chinese typesetting, Japanese typesetting, and Korean typesetting, which gives us a competitive edge, in terms of quality, reliability, and cost. We are happy to provide PDF proofs at any point during the project for viewing on a standard PC or MAC without the need for specialist software or DTP knowledge.

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!
