Hand-picking our language experts

When it comes to localisation, we only work with the best. Unlike many translation agencies, we don’t source linguists “on demand”.

Instead, we have a large global pool of tried and tested translators covering a vast range of languages and areas of specialist expertise. This means that we have experienced, expert linguists ready and waiting to take on your project without delay.

We hand-pick our translators through a rigorous 3-4 month process that includes:

  • A panel review of their credentials and secure verification of recent references.
  • At least one test translation before being approved for active use.
  • Once approved, only translate into their native tongue.

The majority of our translators are members of accredited professional bodies too. This includes the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI), the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL), and the American Translators Association (ATA). All of our translators comply with the minimum requirements of ISO 17100:2015.

Subject matter specialists in your field

The localisation work we complete for our clients in London, across the UK (Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, and more), and globally is in a wide range of specialist areas and for a variety of purposes.

This means that whatever your goals, we are ideally placed to help you achieve them. Whether you are localising your website or POS marketing materials, we have translators with the right subject matter knowledge and skills.

Because we know that even the most experienced linguist can’t deal with all types of subject matter. That’s why we only work with translators with proven experience and expertise in the specialist areas they cover. Please take a closer look at some of our many different sectors.

Reaching your goals shouldn’t end at national borders, go global to achieve even more

Frequently asked questions

Q 1: What is localisation in the context of translation services?
Localisation involves adapting content or products for a specific region or cultural context beyond just translating the language. It includes adjusting cultural references, currency, date formats, and other region-specific elements to ensure relevance and effectiveness in the target market.

Q 2: How does localisation differ from translation?
Translation is the process of converting text from one language to another. On the other hand, localisation goes further by adapting the content to suit the cultural and functional expectations of the target audience. This can involve changes to imagery, layout, and cultural nuances to ensure appropriateness and appeal in the local context.

Q 3: Why is localisation important for businesses?
Localisation is crucial for businesses expanding into international markets as it helps ensure that their products, services, and marketing materials are culturally relevant and resonate with the local audience. Effective localisation can lead to better customer engagement, increased brand loyalty, and higher sales in the target market.

Q 4: Can you give an example of localisation in a marketing context?
An example of localisation in marketing is when a company alters its advertising campaigns for different regions. This could involve changing the language, cultural references, humour, and visual elements to align with local tastes and cultural norms, thereby increasing the campaign’s effectiveness in each specific market.

Q 5: What are the challenges of localisation?
Key challenges in localisation include understanding and effectively addressing cultural nuances, managing variations in language dialects, and ensuring consistency across different elements of content. It also requires staying updated with changes in local preferences and regulations, making it a dynamic and ongoing process.
