Comms Multilingual offers a wealth of experience in the field of translation

It is extremely important to translate and localise materials correctly, so that they are meaningful, legal and culturally correct in the target languages. Translation can be a very subjective matter and we approach each project thoughtfully and with great care.

The choice of linguists is crucial in ensuring the success of your translation project. We search our extensive database of linguists and match your requirements to the most suitable people. We also work closely with you in order to achieve the style that you prefer and to convey the correct message to your customers.

Our projects range from small, single language documents, which require translation only, through to the most complex projects involving as many as fifty languages. They often also involve typesetting, voiceovers, multimedia etc.

We offer translation across the full range of subject areas, so we have translators with the necessary subject matter expertise no matter what your requirements. There are certain areas, however, where we have particular expertise.

Comms Multilingual is your specialist partner for the translation and adaptation of psychometric assessments, tests, certifications and exams. We provide coverage in both the clinical and non-clinical areas. We have a wealth of experience in the translation and adaptation of such tests and we work for some of the leading names in this area. You can therefore be sure that your projects will be handled by people, who fully understand your requirements.

We also have a wide range of experience in handling advertising and marketing materials. From simple business cards through to corporate information videos, we can help you with any level of project.

Comms has been working for leading producers of mobile devices by regularly providing translation of phone set-up instructions in anything up to 40 languages, including such languages as Latvian, Punjabi, Chinese and Tagalog as well as the standard Western European languages such as French, German, Italian and Spanish.

We can provide translated text in many formats including Word, Excel or PowerPoint. We can also produce files that have been typeset so that they are print ready, and, if needed, we offer printing at competitive rates.

How do we guarantee the quality of your translation project?
  1. All of our linguists are professionally qualified and have at least three years experience.
  2. The linguists only translate into their native languages.
  3. All our linguists are tested out before we use them, they all sign contracts with us and we follow up references.
  4. Our translation teams are generally resident in the country for which the translation is intended, especially if a detailed knowledge of that particular country is essential for an accurate translation.
  5. The teams will have specific knowledge of the vocabulary of your business sector.
  6. Our standard prices for translation always include proofreading by a separate person, who is also a native speaker. This is essential if the document is for public consumption and not just for internal use.
  7. The software and systems that we use are state of the art and can handle any level of production, from a simple business card through to the most complex multi-language project.
Translation only

Some of our customers occasionally need translation to be done for internal use only or for items such as open-ended comments from surveys and, in such cases, the document may simply require translation only. You can therefore dispense with the proofreading stage and this will reduce the cost to you.

Please see our Case Studies page for information on how we can help our customers with translation projects.

Indian Languages

Font issues and the lack of encoding standards make Indian languages difficult to represent on the Web and often require specialised print software. Urdu uses a modified version of the Arabic script and reads from right to left.

Languages: Punjabi, Urdu, Gujarati

Eastern European Languages

The languages of Eastern Europe consist of two scripts - Cyrillic (for Russian, Bulgarian etc) and Latin. The Latin based languages contain a large array of diacritics, often unique to a single language, which can be difficult to reproduce accurately.

Languages: Russian, English

Right to Left Languages

Arabic and Urdu are important world languages, which read right-to-left. They pose special problems in print and on the web. Many languages are based on Arabic adapted for the native tongue.
