UPS TRANSLATIONS PLC

Business Description

Established since 1947, UPS Translations is the longest running company in the language services industry.

When you need a translation you can rely on. When it has to be as faithful as possible. When your business depends on it. That's when you call in UPS. UPS Translations offer comprehensive, mother-tongue translations of the written word, the spoken word, the digital word, the scripted word and the creative word. And because you need the work delivered on time, on brief and on budget, you can have our word on that too.

UPS Translations works in every language; our client list reads like a Who's Who across many industries and we work for some of the world's best known brands, companies and organisations.

We offer some of the finest quality language services available anywhere: translation, specialist technical and creative translation services, DTP reprographic and typesetting services in any format and every language, voice direction, dubbing, subtitling, script translation, specialist interpreters, dialogue coaching, software localisation; we cover every language, every dialect and every accent.

We only ever use highly experienced professional translators working into their mother tongue languages. All our translations are checked by a separate linguist and we maintain the very best quality practices and professional standards.

Business Services
Translation at all levels, in every language and format no matter how technical or creative.
We don't charge any extra for translating legal or financial documents because of the vast amount of work we do for the legal profession and financial services industry.

We invented Transcreation which has become an industry-wide term, we're the first and still the best when it comes to translating creative copy. We work for several of the world's leading ad agencies and creative media groups - when it comes to global campaigns UPS Translations is an ad agency's secret weapon.

In addition to specialist technical and creative translation services we are world leaders in a wide range of specialist language services for the Film and TV industry: voice direction, dubbing, subtitling, script translation, specialist interpreters, dialogue coaching, software localisation; we cover every language, every dialect and every accent.
