Accurate, Professional, Confidential, On time translation

Clear, unambiguous translation is crucial to the quality of foreign communication. Poor quality translations can result in misunderstandings, delays, lost business and even lawsuits.

Staff or agents with a knowledge of languages can often understand the gist of a foreign text or deal with simple correspondence. However, because a person speaks a language fluently, it does not necessarily mean that he/she can translate documents into the language, especially ones of a complex legal or technical nature. We have many years experience of translating documents of all kinds, into and from all major world languages, so why not entrust our professional translators?

We provide a fast, high quality, confidential translation service at competitive rates. We will work with your staff to ensure we understand your company and its products. We will build up glossaries, both manually and with specialised software, thereby ensuring that key words and phrases are translated consistently in all your main languages, every time.

We can manage your multilingual projects, from conception and design through to delivery of the final translated documents. We will localise your software, product and sales literature to ensure that they are tailored to the relevant markets.

For a fixed-price quotation, simply send us the texts and we will get straight back to you.

Interpreting - Meeting your requirements

For meetings, works councils, exhibitions, guided tours, court work and conferences, we provide the complete interpreting service.

Our team of well-qualified interpreters comprises both experienced local linguists, who can respond quickly to provide consecutive interpreting at a meeting or for a videoconference call, and international interpreters who work worldwide to provide simultaneous interpreting at major international conferences and workshops.

We can provide all the interpreting equipment you may need, including sound-proofed booths, a full sound and amplification system, cordless
headsets, microphones, recording equipment and tour-guide systems.

Foreign Language Training

Learning another language has many advantages: you can find your way around new countries; you can understand emails, press releases and newspaper articles in a new language; you can conduct business and make presentations to foreign clients; but perhaps best of all, you can really get to know your foreign work colleagues and clients, and they will appreciate that you have made the effort – and then the world’s your oyster!     
 
We offer a completely flexible approach to language learning. We understand that people benefit from learning a language in a way that suits them, at their own speed, at a time and on a day which fits their work schedule.

Our professional trainers realise that some people may have had bad experiences at school and are wary of the word ‘grammar’, whereas others are keen to know how a language is put together. We aim to ensure that any foreign language training you undertake with us is both enjoyable and effective.         
 
We will carry out a Training Needs Analysis, to assess any prior knowledge of your chosen language and to find out what you want to achieve and the timescales involved. The course and materials are then tailor-made, so that the training reflects your learning style and you acquire the skills you need in the shortest time, thereby ensuring the training is also cost-effective. 

There are three main types of training format:

Drip-feed training:
Regular, weekly training sessions of two hours’ duration are often ideal when there is no urgency to learn a language, especially for groups in the workplace. 

Intensive courses:
A series of intensive days or a full week is good when there is a need to achieve a particular level by a certain date, perhaps because of a new export role, before a job posting abroad or as a ‘kick-start’ to a drip-feed training course. Busy managers often find it easier to blank a week from their diary and escape ringing phones to immerse themselves in the language learning process.  

Immersion training:
Fancy learning French in Bordeaux, Czech in Prague or Spanish in Madrid? This form of training suits those wanting to make rapid progress, because you are immersed in the language and culture of your chosen country and get an immediate opportunity to practise your new skills.

We can provide training at your home or office, at other UK venues or in most major cities worldwide, if required.
 
All our training conforms to the National Language Standards and we can prepare students for various language qualifications including the London Chamber of Commerce’s FLAW, the OCR’s examination in business language competence and National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs).

Our trainers have many years’ experience of developing and providing language training courses for business and professional people. We look forward to your call if you would like to put their skills and enthusiasm to the test.
