All Academia Translations’ linguists are highly experienced members of professional associations, such as the Institute of Translation & Interpreting and the Chartered Institute of Linguists, and we only ever translate into our mother tongue. We only work within our fields of expertise and we conduct thorough background research for each and every translation, ensuring that all subject-specific terminology is understood and translated correctly.

We fully embrace the latest developments in language technologies and we pride ourselves in offering our clients tailored solutions for their budget and needs.
