Translation
Central, established in 2004, is a British
company specialising in document and website translation
and foreign language research. The company has several
thousand qualified, experienced native speaker translators
on its books and can handle virtually any language
pair. While some work is done in-house in the UK
office, many of the translators are based in their
own countries and work remotely. This ensures that
the translators grasp of their native language remains
fresh and allows the company to maintain a lower
cost base (as rates are often lower than in the UK
and there is not such a need for a large office).
These savings are then passed on to all our clients.
Importantly,
we pride ourselves on always being to able to offer
a solution to our clients' requirements (in terms of
timescale, quality, language pairs and value for money)
and are extremely flexible. We also know how to get
the best out of our translators. Contact
us now with your requirements or for more information.
