Benefit from Birmingham translation services conducted by qualified interpreters with genuine qualifications and professional translation services experience – in fields ranging from molecular biology and applied physics to sports broadcasting and journalism. Our highly experienced subject experts have a minimum of five years’ experience working in your area. What’s more, we’re able to supply our local translators to deliver work that is sensitive to local culture and completed to your timeframe. Whether you’re working on a PR launch in Malaysia or a government-funding application in the Côte d’Ivoire, our translators guarantee quick turnaround times and impeccable ‘on-the-ground’ mother tongue knowledge. We offer standard and fast-track certified translation services and can co-ordinate print and web launch deadlines to your local time zone. Also, because we work locally and understand the politics and history of your target territory, we can ensure that your translation project is free from tiny errors in phrasing or grammar that can alter meaning or accidentally give offence.
Make sure your print and digital words stand out for the right reasons. Our Birmingham translations services are augmented by typesetting and DTP services, which make sure your communications and publications are legible and attractive in print and digital formats. We accept practically all file formats and are able to work with vertical, horizontal, and right-to-left systems of writing as well as pictorial languages and ideographic or logogrammatic languages. Our typesetters have plenty of experience in laying out publications ranging from comics and popular magazines to dissertations, government reports, and technical manuals. In addition, our translation services are supported by the latest translation memory software, which stores frequently used and industry-specific words and phrase in a personalised word bank. We only charge for new translations and not for translating the words and phrases in your word bank: meaning you only ever pay for fresh content to be translated.
We have offices across the UK and Europe.

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!

Our highly experienced translation professionals surpass the standards available through machine translation many times over, assuring you that legal translations paperwork, documentation, qualification transcripts and other formal records such as marriage certificates are correctly replicated, with certified translations essential for processes such as visa applications.
Alongside private translation services available in multiple languages, our Birmingham team has the capacity to handle larger and more complex translation project requirements, including:
● Bespoke globalisation and localisation translation services for global expansions or targeted marketing campaigns.
● Technical translations in specific fields of expertise, such as legal, contractual or insurance-related professional translation services.
● Video and telephone interpreting services to ensure you have a full grasp of the linguistics and intricacies of your communications.
We provide translation in varied niche sectors alongside certified translation services. Our interpreters possess outstanding industry-specific credentials to ensure our services provide consistent, reliable and competitively priced translations that meet your objectives.
Absolute Translations offers a broad range of translation and interpreting services for varied purposes but focuses on customer satisfaction, professionalism and value for money at every stage, with a skilled and diverse team of exceptional linguistics experts.
We work with clients from local businesses to UK public bodies and global enterprises, with unparalleled knowledge of the nuance, context and tone associated with 200+ languages and mother tongue dialects from around the world, providing written translation services tailored to your audience.
All our translation services in Birmingham are backed by extensive accreditations and qualifications, as a translation agency with an accomplished management team who offer language support and full project assistance to ensure your documents, materials, digital content, or other interpreting services are of the highest quality.
Every Birmingham translation project is different, and our project managers begin by consulting with our clients to understand your aims, ensuring we offer translation services aligned with your anticipated outcomes.
For example, your high-quality translation may require translations into several languages or involve multiple qualified interpreters with the appropriate fluency and experience to reconfigure your documentation, reports or other materials in the right tone and style and with formatting and structure consistent with your business requirements.
Other projects based on smaller-scale translation may incorporate one target language but with a high level of specificity around the way your translation is laid out, retaining important syntax or referencing to ensure translated content is valid, accessible and compliant.
Our network of professional translators provides personal support to all our valued customers, whether you need one document translated or have a multi-faceted translation project to help your Birmingham organisation communicate with new demographics, stakeholders or overseas collaborators.
Absolute Translations has been providing Birmingham translation services, across our wide array of specialisms, for over 20 years. As we add additional interpretation services and languages to our scope, we offer a comprehensive service for every client or company, with quality at the heart of all we do.
Please contact our Birmingham office for more information or request a quotation for both translation and interpreting services through our efficient online portal.
