A contract must remain precise. A policy must be usable. A sales page must persuade. A manual must help someone act safely. Our business translation services start with that purpose, then match the content with the right language specialist, workflow and delivery format.
Translate decisions, obligations and operating information clearly
We support management teams, legal departments, HR, finance, procurement and operations with documents that need consistent terminology and careful treatment of names, figures, dates, defined terms and cross-references.
- Contracts, policies, governance and compliance
- Financial, tender and due-diligence materials
- HR, training and operational documentation
Help international audiences understand and choose your business
For public-facing material, a literal translation is often not enough. Website, campaign, product and sales content can be localised for the market while preserving the message, brand voice, calls to action and practical detail.
- Websites, apps and customer journeys
- Brochures, campaigns and presentations
- Product information and customer support
Professional translation services for business-critical content
The best business translation service is not a single generic workflow. The language pair, subject, audience, risk and file type determine who translates the content and how it is checked.
Corporate and legal documents
Contracts, company records, policies, governance documents, compliance material, tender responses and due-diligence files.
Legal translationFinancial and investor materials
Accounts, reports, budgets, forecasts, investor communications, banking documents and finance-related presentations.
Financial translationMarketing, sales and digital content
Websites, landing pages, campaigns, brochures, social content, business cards, proposals and customer journeys.
Marketing and transcreationTechnical and operational content
Manuals, specifications, SOPs, product information, training resources, safety content and internal knowledge bases.
Technical translationBusiness documents we translate
From a single certificate to a multilingual document library, we translate editable files, PDFs, presentations, spreadsheets, web content and designed material in a format agreed before work starts.
How our business translation process works
The quotation confirms the scope, linguist profile, review level, formatting, certification, price and delivery schedule before work begins.
Project review
We assess the languages, purpose, audience, subject, files, volume, deadline and security requirements.
Specialist assignment
The work is matched with a native-language linguist whose experience fits the content and market.
Terminology setup
Approved glossaries, previous translations, brand language and recurring terms are organised.
Translation or localisation
The linguist preserves meaning while adapting tone, conventions and calls to action where the brief requires it.
Review and QA
The agreed checks cover accuracy, omissions, terminology, names, figures, references and formatting.
Delivery and support
Files are supplied in the agreed format, with certification, DTP or staged delivery where requested.
Quality checks built around the business risk
A public campaign, internal policy and signed agreement do not need identical treatment. We recommend a workflow that reflects the impact of an error and the stage the content has reached.
Meaning and terminology
Defined terms, company language, sector vocabulary, product names and recurring phrases are treated consistently.
Names, figures and references
Dates, quantities, currencies, headings, table references and links can be included in the agreed QA checks.
Independent bilingual review
A second linguist can compare the full translation with the source for higher-risk or publication-ready content.
Formatting and version control
Headings, tables, lists, links and file versions are managed so the final content remains practical to use.
Professional or certified business translation?
Most commercial content needs a professional translation, not certification. Certification may be required when a business document is being submitted as evidence to a government department, bank, court, regulator or overseas authority.
Some receiving bodies may instead request notarisation, an apostille, legalisation or a sworn translation in the destination country. The correct route depends on where the document will be used—not simply on the document type.
Business translation services for international markets
Subject knowledge matters because the same word can carry a different meaning in a contract, clinical document, engineering specification or customer campaign. We match linguists to both the language and the field.
Legal, finance and professional services
High-importance documents for law firms, accountancy practices, advisers, financial teams and regulated organisations.
Legal translationHealthcare and life sciences
Patient, clinical, research, training, regulatory and commercial content where clarity and controlled terminology matter.
Discuss a healthcare projectManufacturing and engineering
Technical, safety, production, supplier, product and training content for manufacturers and engineering businesses.
Technical translationTechnology, SaaS and market research
Interfaces, websites, help content, surveys, interview material, insight reports and international research programmes.
Market research translationOne-off documents and ongoing translation programmes
For recurring work, the value comes from retaining approved decisions, terminology and feedback so each new project does not start from zero.
Controlled multilingual delivery
For UK businesses expanding into one market or coordinating content across many languages.
A repeatable workflow for international teams
We can work with your content owners, agencies, legal advisers, designers or local-market reviewers. Roles and approval points are agreed in advance so the project remains accountable.
- 01Scope and prioritiesLanguages, audiences, document groups, deadlines and publication sequence.
- 02Terminology and referencesApproved glossaries, style choices, previous translations and brand language.
- 03Production and reviewNamed hand-offs for translation, independent review, layout and local approval.
- 04Feedback and continuityApproved changes are captured for future documents and recurring releases.
A quotation based on the real project
Translation services for businesses cannot be priced accurately from the language alone. The same word count may involve a simple editable policy, a complex designed brochure or a certified document for official use.
Send the complete source files wherever possible. We will identify what needs translation, whether repeated content can be handled efficiently, what review is appropriate and whether certification, localisation or multilingual layout is needed.
The quotation then states the scope, delivery format, turnaround and agreed checks, helping you compare like with like.
What affects the quote?
We confirm what is included before work begins rather than applying one fixed rate to every business document.
- Word or page count
- Language combination
- Subject complexity
- Source and delivery format
- Bilingual review level
- Certification or DTP
- Urgency and staging
- Recurring project volume
The quotation states the agreed scope, format and turnaround.
Support for the complete multilingual business project
Translation can be coordinated with layout, localisation and linguistic review when the final deliverable needs more than translated text.
Business translation services FAQs
Answers about documents, human translators, certification, confidentiality, layouts, languages, turnaround and pricing.
What are business translation services?
Business translation services convert corporate, legal, financial, technical, marketing and operational content from one language into another for a defined commercial purpose. The work may also include localisation, independent review, certification or multilingual document layout.
What business documents can you translate?
We translate contracts, company records, reports, policies, tenders, business plans, presentations, manuals, training content, websites, apps, brochures, market research, customer communications and certified business documents.
Do you use professional human translators?
Projects are matched with professional linguists according to the language pair, subject, document type and audience. We do not deliver unreviewed machine-generated copy as a finished professional business translation.
What is the difference between professional and certified translation?
A professional translation is prepared for commercial or operational use. A certified translation includes a formal statement confirming the translation and is commonly requested when a document is submitted as evidence. Some authorities may additionally require notarisation, an apostille, legalisation or a sworn translation.
Can you translate documents for Companies House or HMRC?
Yes, subject to reviewing the document and the receiving body's current instructions. Send the written requirements with the files so the appropriate translation, certification and delivery format can be confirmed.
Can you handle contracts and confidential business documents?
Yes. Contracts, due-diligence files, internal policies and other sensitive documents can be handled with agreed NDA, restricted-access, secure-transfer and retention arrangements. Share any mandatory requirements before sending the files.
Can you translate websites and marketing content?
Yes. Websites, landing pages, campaigns, brochures, presentations and customer journeys can be translated or localised. The brief can cover target-market language, brand voice, calls to action, search terms, character limits and publishing format.
Can you preserve the original layout?
Yes. Depending on the source file, we can return an editable translated document or coordinate multilingual desktop publishing for brochures, reports, presentations, tables and other designed content. Share editable source files and fonts where available.
Can you support ongoing or high-volume business translation?
Yes. For recurring projects, approved terminology, reference translations, style decisions and feedback can be maintained across releases. Large projects can also be planned in stages with agreed priorities and review points.
Which languages do you support?
We support more than 30 languages across European, Asian, Middle Eastern, African and international markets. Availability is confirmed according to the language combination and subject expertise required. See the languages page or send the files for confirmation.
How quickly can a business translation be completed?
Turnaround depends on the languages, word count, complexity, file format, review level, certification and deadline. Express or staged delivery may be available after the complete files have been reviewed.
How much do business translation services cost?
Cost depends on the volume, language combination, subject, source format, review level, certification, layout work and urgency. Send the complete files and project requirements for a quotation that states what is included.
How do I choose the right business translation service?
Start with the document's purpose, reader and risk. Check that the provider can assign a linguist with relevant subject experience, explain the review process, protect confidential material, deliver the required format and provide the correct certification where needed.
Send the files and tell us what the translation needs to achieve
We will review the languages, subject, audience, file format, review level, certification needs and deadline before confirming the scope, price and delivery plan.
