The world’s foremost museums share a common goal: to connect visitors through the power of exploration, education, and stewardship. Exhibition design (both of temporary and full-time collections) is a matter of message: it is the curator’s role to communicate both the purpose and the lessons of each exhibition in ways that are culturally and historically relevant. Our expert translators are subject experts as well as mother-tongue speakers of over 200 languages, enabling us to deliver impeccable museum translations for transient and permanent collections around the world. We translate all written material, both online and off, including but not limited to press releases, brochures, maps, catalogues, websites and apps, and exhibition signage and labelling. When you need to be sure that hundreds of thousands of visitors get the richest possible experience from your exhibition, cost-effectively and to your timescale, our translation teams are the answer. Some of the world’s most recognised brands, collections, and institutions trust us to translate their museum content, including The British Museum, The National Gallery, and TATE Britain.
We've helped global brands and smaller businesses expand in 38 countries and 200 languages.

Absolute Translations is GDPR compliant, with independently regulated information and security systems, putting your data security first.
Museums are repositories of the accumulated knowledge, experience, and history of the human race—and we are proud of our role in disseminating that knowledge to professional and lay audiences. The meaning of terminology and technical concepts must be preserved and translated with an effective understanding of cultural context: from codes of museum ethics to translations of ancient text on important historical artefacts, and from brochures to guide apps. Our commitment to the utmost quality is evident in the speed and accuracy with which our subject-expert translators deliver impeccable museum translations. Every one of our museum translators works within a specific field of expertise: from ancient languages and archaeology to costume and modern art, and everything in between. Our translators live and work in your time zone, and are thus able to provide on-the-spot translation services right up to the last minutes of any deadline.
Never has the world been more multicultural—and never have more unique museum experiences been created to inspire and educate diverse populations. For the first time, exhibitions of global importance are travelling outside the confines of their home countries. Scientists from previously incompatible cultures are collaborating on research in fields as diverse as astronomy, paleobiology, and archaeology. Diversity on the dig site and in the laboratory is matched by the diversity of visitors to exhibits that display some of the most important finds in human history. Museum translations—both for internal documentation and research, and for visitor’s materials—must account for cultural sensitivities. Inaccurate or imprecise translations can be worse than misleading: they can fatally misrepresent the cultural significance of a find, or lessen the impact of cross-cultural scientific collaboration. Our expertise is expressed in every detail of our museum translations. We also use the latest translation memory software to increase efficiency and lower your costs. The software creates a lexicon specific to your translation requirements: ensuring you never pay twice for identical translations.
