Translation Services Angus
High-quality, fast-response language translation
Our network of translation associates are based across the UK and the translators come from all around the world - they only translate into their mother tongue. They are carefully selected based on their qualifications and experience, and their translation work is constantly monitored, so we are able to select the best partner for your job. All translations are proofread by a second, independent linguist before undergoing further quality assessment.
We work with small and medium-sized companies, covering the Angus area and surrounding regions, providing quality language translation services combined with very competitive fees. Long-term translation services clients include some of the world’s leading brands, from L’Oréal and Bosch in Europe to local, British organisations such as The Business Link.
We work with all major file types and formats including websites, technical manuals, legal contracts, marketing literature, medical and pharmaceutical texts, financial documents, training manuals, patents, telecommunications, IT, engineering and construction material, into and from all the major world languages.
These languages include: Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Farsi, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Kurdish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovakian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, US English, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Welsh and Zulu.
Clients rely on us to provide accurate and responsive language services. We have a team of qualified and experienced associates, providing coverage in the Angus area and internationally. We operate to the highest translation services industry standards. Each language translation project is designed to meet the clients’ needs, budget and timescale. We have a flexible approach to providing language translation services and a passion for delivering quality language projects.
All translation work is checked very carefully and our Angus clients comment that they would not hesitate to recommend our translation services to other businesses. Our associates have helped companies break down language and cultural barriers and support businesses and professionals in the Angus area and around the world.
Through our associates, we provide the full range of language services including translation, interpreting, language and cultural training, typesetting, proofreading, voiceovers, foreign telemarketing and language consultancy. We have succeeded by listening to and working with our translation clients, who increasingly demand the quality, responsiveness, professionalism and support that only a major business translation services provider can supply.
The long-term relationships we've established with our Angus and international clients clearly indicates our ability to provide the language translation service and quality they require - and we are grateful that they are telling others about what we can offer.

THE DANISH LANGUAGE
Danish (dansk) is one of the North Germanic languages (also called Scandinavian languages), a sub-group of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European languages. It is spoken by around 6 million people, mainly in Denmark; the language is also used by the 50,000 Danes in the northern parts of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany where it holds the status of minority language.
Danish also holds official status and is a mandatory subject in school in the Danish territories of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, which now enjoy limited autonomy. In Iceland and Faroe Islands, Danish is taught as a compulsory foreign language in schools. There are also Danish language communities in Argentina, the U.S. and Canada.
THE DUTCH LANGUAGE
Dutch (Nederlands) is a West Germanic language spoken by around 24 million people, mainly in the Netherlands, Belgium and Suriname, but also by smaller groups of speakers in parts of France, Germany and several former Dutch colonies. Sometimes called the smallest world language, it is closely related to other West Germanic languages (e.g., English, West Frisian and German) and somewhat more remotely to the North Germanic languages.
Dutch is the parent language of several Dutch-based creole languages as well as of Afrikaans, one of the official languages of South Africa and the most widely understood in Namibia. Dutch is also an official language of the European Union and the Union of South American Nations.
THE FINNISH LANGUAGE
Finnish (suomi or suomen kieli) is the language spoken by the majority of the population in Finland (92% as of 2006) and by ethnic Finns outside of Finland. It is one of the official languages of Finland and an official minority language in Sweden. In Sweden, both standard Finnish and Meänkieli, a Finnish dialect, are spoken. The Kven language, which is closely related to Finnish, is an official minority language in Norway.

Some additional language facts and mistakes
• In the translation business, American English is treated as a foreign language, and it is only the brave who assume that Americans will understand everything we write over here, and vice versa.
• A truly severe lesson was learned sometime ago by The Swedish Manufacturer, Electrolux, when the Company launched their ad campaign in the US for the then latest top of the range of vacuum cleaners using a successful English slogan "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux".
• When the BBC sold the US rights of "Eastenders" to the ABC television network, they found it necessary to publish a glossary of terms and phrases to "assist" the comprehension of its US viewing audience.
The dictionary ran to 635 entries!
• J F Kennedy when famously and publicly addressing a large crowd of Germans in Berlin close to the infamous wall, closed his speech with the statement "Ich bin ein Berliner". Unfortunately, rather than closely associating himself with the locals, which was his obvious intention, he told everyone that he was a doughnut!
• There are strict rules in France governing the use of words which emanate from outside the country. Whilst the rest of the world is happy to use the generic word for everyday objects, the French insist that their words must be used. The penalty for misuse can result in a large fine.
• Maltese is one of the world's most unusual languages. Its foundations are a combination of Arabic and European constructions, a very complex relationship since Arabic has nothing in common with any European language. However, Maltese has evolved defying all linguistic logic into an effective and workable language. The fact that it is very difficult to learn is not a problem since English is widely spoken and understood and is regarded as the island's main language.
