Language pair details
Languages, scripts and regional varieties matter
A language name alone does not always describe the complete requirement. Portuguese may mean European or Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish may require a particular regional variety, and Chinese projects may require Mandarin, Cantonese or a particular written form.
When you send your project, identify the source language, target language, destination country or audience where relevant, and any regional variety specifically requested by the receiving organisation.
- Confirm the exact source language.
- Confirm the required target language.
- State the destination country or audience where relevant.
- Identify any required regional language variety.
- Tell us whether certification or interpreting is required.

Describe the intended use
Explain whether the translation is for official, legal, academic, personal, business or another purpose.

Is certified translation available for every language in the directory?
The languages shown in this directory are currently marked for certified translation. Send the document and explain its intended use so the required format can be reviewed before the work is confirmed.

Send the source language, target language and project details. The public directory does not represent every language supported across the wider service offering.
Can you work with regional language varieties?
Where a language has regional, spoken or written varieties, identify the country, audience or specific variety required. This is particularly useful for languages such as Portuguese, Spanish and Chinese.
What information should I send for a translation quote?
Include the source language, target language, document or project file, intended use, required service and any relevant deadline. A clear scan, photograph or digital file can be reviewed before the work is confirmed.
