What our clients say

I just wanted to again thank you and your company for your willingness to be involved in such a small community based project in the flexible and positive way you have.

If you have the opportunity to pass on my personal thanks to those translators involved I would appreciate it. We hope that this will be a starting point for projects such as this to provide a wider array of assistance to people from all CALD backgrounds and they have contributed greatly to that cause.

I will promote your company at every opportunity and have taken action to ensure outstanding monies will be paid directly.

David Browning, Community Development Manager, Life Transitions Incorporated

Vee and her team were professional, accommodating and delivered an excellent level of service. The brief they took was tight and the process of peer review of all translations was clear and added real value and confidence. An excellent partner.

Leon McCormack, Insync surveys

I just wanted to pass on my appreciation for the interpreting services provided by Angela.

Angela’s professionalism greatly assisted the courts in a serious sexual crime which resulted in the committing to trial of a sex offender. Angela developed a rapport with the victim which enabled the victim to give her evidence in this difficult matter. I have no hesitation in recommending Angela for any future interpreting services. Angela certainly made my job easier during the court processes with a number of Korean witnesses.

Thanks again

Craig Stokes, Surfers Paradise CIB, Queensland Police Service

Hi Joanna,

I have been asked to contact you in regards to our function held on Sunday night. Both Tony & our Executive Director for Australia, Chris Thoroughgood, were very impressed with Mr Sun, he has done an excellent job interpreting for our valued guests from China, and we would like to let you know that we would have no hesitation in using his services again in the future or recommending him to any of our associates.

Could you kindly pass on our appreciation and thanks to him also.

Thanks again for your help in sourcing Mr Sun for our event.

Kind Regards

Nicole Kowalczuk, Noble Resources International Australia Pty Ltd

Hi Veerle,

We have just returned from China.

I wanted to thank you for your prompt and professional manner in which you translated our collateral and returned it via email for printing. Our clients were very impressed with the translation and the effort gone into them.

I will certainly recommend your services to other business contacts and if the opportunity arises, we will not hesitate to use your services again.

Tracey Lamont, Account Manager. Impact Engineering

Our manager was impressed by the professionalism and level of service offered by two of your interpreters at the APREC conference in the Gold Coast and we are now looking for interpreters for upcoming meetings in Qatar. My colleague Jenna, from BDO Brisbane, has very kindly forwarded me your contact details.

Stephanie Garcia Florez, BDO – Brussels Worldwide Services

We use this company mainly for the transcreation of our marketing material, which can be quite complex with mining and technical terms. On the whole, we have been very happy with the quality of their work. They readily meet our, at times, urgent deadlines and are always ready to help with any questions we might have. We continue to use their services and we highly recommend Absolute Translations.

Virginia Aquilizan, Deswik Mining

Absolute translations provided a translation of over 20 different documents into 4 different languages. They did it within agreed timelines and the quality was excellent. I was especially impressed with how they maintained the formatting of the document design as some of the design features were tricky to edit.

Justine Chittick, Nufarm

Thank you so much for providing your test translation. The feedback from our Chinese testers was that it was the best translation amongst three. Apparently, the translation demonstrated a good understanding of geological terms and overall content. Loyal to the English original, with good sentence flow. I will be recommending you for the next publication and any other products requiring Chinese translation. I look forward to contacting you for the next project.

Chantelle Farrar, Geoscience Australia

We just wanted to say a very big thank you for your efforts in sourcing a suitable translator and providing excellent service.

So often we get used to dealing with mediocrity but dealing with you and Absolute Translations was a pleasure. It was no easy task what we presented you with given the technical complexity and specific requirements for our project, but you delivered.

Vaughan Geldenhaus, AECOM

READ MORE on Language Services

The aroma of sizzling spices mingles with the cacophony of unfamiliar greetings. Shop signs shimmer in a language that dances on your tongue, just out of reach. A menu, adorned with colourful illustrations of exotic delicacies, remains a mystery – a tantalizing puzzle with missing pieces. This isn’t a scene from a dream – it’s the reality of encountering a language barrier, a feeling that can strike even the most seasoned businessperson overseas. It’s a moment of delightful disorientation, a reminder of the vast tapestry of human experience woven from countless threads of language.

In our ever-evolving interconnected world, there’s a solution readily available – the magic of translation services. With a few taps on your phone, cryptic symbols morph into understandable sentences, and the once-opaque menu transforms into a treasure map, guiding you toward culinary adventures. Translation bridges the gap, allowing you to connect with the local vendors, whose smiles become even warmer as they share their stories. It unlocks the secrets whispered within the bustling marketplace, transforming a frustrating obstacle into a delightful opportunity for cultural exchange.

However, the magic of translation goes beyond mere words. It’s a bridge that fosters empathy and understanding. As you begin to decipher the language around you, you gain a deeper appreciation for the local culture. Jokes that once landed with a thud now spark laughter, and the rhythm of conversation becomes a melody you can hum along to. The world around you blooms with new colours, the richness of human connection blossoming despite the initial language barrier.

 

HOW ACCURATE IS THE INTERPRETATION?

Imagine this: you’ve poured your heart and soul into crafting a captivating business proposal, a brochure for your function, or even a groundbreaking research paper. You yearn to share your message with a wider audience, but a language barrier stands in the way. To the rescue – translation services. These skilled professionals act as cultural ambassadors, meticulously transferring your words from one language to another.  However, their role goes far beyond a simple word swap.  A highly-skilled translator bridges the gap between cultures, ensuring your message retains its original essence and resonates deeply with your target audience.

There’s a fascinating world of expertise behind the scenes. Translators are not just masters of multiple languages; they’re cultural chameleons with an uncanny ability to adapt. They possess a deep understanding of the nuances of different languages, and the subtle shifts in meaning that a single word can carry.  Imagine a joke that lands perfectly in English but loses its humour entirely in the interpretation – a skilled translator understands these cultural sensitivities and finds a way to preserve the intended meaning and humour in the target language. It’s more than just translating words; it’s about translating emotions, and the overall tone of your communication.

 

BRIDGING THE GAP: WHAT SERVICES ARE COVERED?

The beauty of translation services lies in the sheer variety available.  Different services cater to specific needs, ensuring your message is delivered with precision and clarity.  Do you have a critical legal contract that demands pinpoint accuracy?  There are specialist legal translation services equipped to handle the intricate legalese and ensure every clause is translated flawlessly.  Perhaps you’re a budding entrepreneur looking to expand your online store to a global audience.  E-commerce translation can ensure your product descriptions and marketing materials are clear, enticing, and culturally appropriate for international customers.

Medical translation services ensure clear communication in healthcare settings, where precise terminology and cultural understanding are paramount.  Business travel translation becomes your lifesaver when navigating foreign menus, deciphering historical landmarks, or understanding transportation signs.  For those in the creative realm, literary translation can help your novel, poem, or screenplay reach a wider audience without losing its original voice and style.

 

HUMAN TOUCH VS AUTOMATION

In our increasingly digital world, it’s easy to assume translation services rely solely on automated processes.  While machine translation tools have come a long way, there’s no substitute for the human touch. A skilled translator understands the importance of context, the emotional weight behind words, and the ability to maintain a consistent tone throughout a piece.

 

Think of it this way: translation is an art form, not just a science.  A great translator doesn’t just translate words, they translate the essence of your message. They ensure your voice, your unique style, shines through in the translated text.  Humour, wit, and even the subtlest nuances of tone can be lost in a purely mechanical translation.  A human translator, with a deep understanding of both languages and cultures, bridges this gap and ensures your message resonates as intended.

 

HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT TRANSLATION PARTNER?

For any premium translation services in Australia, it’s not a saturated market. Only a select few fall into the category of being a high-end service provider. Absolute Translations has a proven track record and are NAATI certified with a team of excessively experienced translators who are fluent speakers of the target language. Being completely fluent means, we possess a deep understanding of the cultural nuances and intricacies of their language, ensuring an accurate and culturally sensitive translation.

Absolute Translations will be happy to discuss your specific needs and recommend the best approach for your project.  This could involve discussing the target audience, the desired tone of the translation, and any intended humour.

Ultimately, trust is paramount.  You’re entrusting your message, your brand voice, or even sensitive information to us.  So, when searching online for a translation service Australia and you want to feel confident and comfortable, engage Absolute Translations to partner with – we understand the importance of clear communication and accurate representation.

 

THE POWER OF CONNECTION

In a world brimming with diverse cultures and languages, translation services plays a vital role in fostering understanding and connection.  Whether you’re a business owner yearning to reach a global market, a businessperson always on the move overseas, or simply someone wanting to share their story with the world, Absolute Translations empowers you to break down language barriers and connect with others on a deeper level.

So, the next time you find yourself lost in translation, remember, there’s a world of possibility waiting to be unlocked.  With the help of certified translation services in Australia, your message can transcend language barriers and resonate with audiences far and wide.  The world is waiting to hear your voice – in every language.
