About Comms

Comms Multilingual specialises in the production of documents, presentations, printed materials, voice-overs, web sites, interactive CD-ROMs, conference and promotional materials in any language. We use in-house developed techniques to deliver a quality product that often exceeds the requirements of our customers. Comms Multilingual is a member of the Association of Translation Companies.

Comms is based in the United Kingdom in Epsom, Surrey. Our customers are located in many different countries, with a significant number in North America.

For many years we have been producing materials in other languages for a wide variety of different customers, including International businesses (both large and small), National and Local Government Departments, the NHS, Training and Development Companies, Marketing and Advertising Agencies and Website Production Companies.

We develop a strong relationship with every client. Comms assigns a Project Manager to run projects for a customer and we work closely with them to become familiar with their strategy and ambitions. We pride ourselves on a very high return rate for clients.

We always use linguists that are native speakers and they will invariably have thorough experience of the subject area which they are translating. You can thus be sure of the quality of our translation work.

Another advantage for you in dealing with Comms is that we can provide you with a complete range of services which can be entirely tailored to your Company needs. We look forward to discussing your translation requirements with you, no matter what the language or the required format.
