Translation Services for Local Authorities

Public service providers such as local authorities and councils in the UK are coming increasingly under pressure to provide frontline services in a wide variety of languages. Whether it is information leaflets, public warning signs or notices, translation services are crucial to local authorities.

Providing translation services to the public means that translations must be 100% accurate, high quality and relevant to the reader. As an ISO 9001:2008 certified translation company, we adhere to strict quality control guidelines in all of our translation projects. This reflects in our linguist selection process for public sector translation services. We only select mother-tongue, highly skilled translators that have experience translating within the public sector.

Reducing Translation Costs

With major spending reviews and budget cuts within the public sector, local authorities and councils are inevitably looking for ways to reduce their spending. Translation services are an area where it can be hard to reduce spending without impacting on the quality of translation.

Global Voices is determined to help local authorities and councils reduce translation service overheads through use of technology utilising their new Video Interpretation and Databank system or through the use of advanced translation memory software which can significantly reduce translation service costs.

What do other local authorities say about our translation services?

"I would highly recommend the translation service provided by Global Voices. I have found the service to be efficient, client appropriate, and empthetic. I have recommended this service to colleagues and partner agencies." - Clackmannanshire Council

"We receive very few requests for translations and therefore have a very low number of jobs we undertake each year. Our translation policy requires us to obtain three quotes and indications of timescale from translation companies as a translation job arises - Global Voices has always been an excellent service when we have placed work with you." - E. Dumbarton Council
