Our story

We translate meaning,
not just words

Translation Services UK is a team of native linguists, subject-matter experts and language technologists — built to protect what your words actually mean across every language and market.

"

A translation is only finished when a native reader can't tell it was translated at all.

— Our founding principle

Who we are

A language partner built for accuracy.

We started with a simple frustration: too many translations were fast but wrong, or accurate but lifeless. So we built an agency that refuses the trade-off — pairing specialist human linguists with language technology, under an ISO 17100 process, on every single project.

What we stand for

The principles behind every project.

Accuracy over speed

Every translation is human-reviewed and QA-checked. We'll never ship a guess to hit a deadline.

Confidentiality by default

NDAs on every project, ISO 27001-aligned systems, and documents deleted on request. Always.

Native expertise

Real specialists in your field — legal, medical, technical — not generalists with a dictionary.

Culture, not just language

We translate intent and tone for the local reader — so meaning lands, not just words.

Technology that serves people

Translation memory and terminology tools make linguists faster — they never replace the human.

Transparent & accountable

Fixed quotes, clear turnaround dates and a named contact — you always know where your project stands.

Our story

From one certified document to a global team.

We've grown deliberately — adding languages, specialisms and technology only when it made the work better, never just bigger.

2014

The beginning

Founded to fix a broken market — certified translations that were either fast or accurate, never both.

2017

ISO 17100 certified

Formalised our multi-stage review process and brought specialist linguists into every regulated field.

2020

Localization at scale

Expanded into software, app and website localization with our own language-technology platform.

2023

AI + human workflow

Introduced AI-assisted drafting with mandatory human sign-off — faster delivery, zero quality compromise.

2026

120+ languages, one standard

Now a trusted partner to enterprises, agencies and public bodies across the UK and worldwide.

The people

Led by linguists, run by specialists.

A small senior team backed by a vetted network of native professional translators and interpreters.
