Specialist knowledge, organised delivery
The language matters.
So does the subject.
A patent, a contract and a medical text demand different expertise. Babylon Translations combines in-house project managers and proofreaders with native translators and subject experts: linguists, engineers, doctors and economists.
Translators work into their mother tongue, live in the target country and have 10+ years of translation experience. That combination brings subject knowledge and current language usage to the same assignment. The agency profile sets out the people and principles behind the work.
Translation covers 32 languages and regional variants in any combination. A single document or parallel language editions receive project coordination, proofreading and review, supported by CAT tools and dedicated QA software. The quality process makes those separate responsibilities clear.

How a project runs
A managed handover
at every stage
Project manager to native translator. The assignment starts with the source material, language combination, intended use and deadline. In-house project managers coordinate the work with translators selected for the language pair and subject field.
Translator to reviewer. The translator produces the target text; a second qualified linguist compares it with the source under the ISO 17100 workflow. In-house proofreaders form part of the agency’s review resources. Every translation undergoes proofreading and review.
Review to QA. Dedicated quality-assurance software supports the final checks. Trados Studio and other CAT tools help maintain terminology consistency and can reduce costs on larger projects. The translation process explains the sequence from request to delivery.

Practical answers
for translation buyers
Which languages does Babylon Translations translate?
Babylon Translations translates between 32 languages and regional variants, including UK and US English, French for France and Canada, Spanish for Spain and Latin America, and three Portuguese variants. Native translators who live in the target country work into their mother tongue. The language list shows every language and variant.
Is Babylon Translations an ISO 17100 translation agency?
Yes. Babylon Translations holds DIN EN ISO 17100 certification for translation services, alongside ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and ISO 18587 certificates. ISO 17100 covers a defined translation workflow, including revision against the source by a second qualified linguist. The ISO 17100 guide explains what procurement teams should look for.
Who translates and reviews the documents?
Native speakers living in the target country translate the documents, with in-house proofreaders and project managers supporting delivery. Translators have 10+ years of experience and expertise in their fields. The agency also draws on linguists, engineers, doctors and economists. Every translation undergoes proofreading and review, supported by dedicated QA software.
Can one agency manage several target languages?
Yes. Babylon Translations manages high-volume multilingual projects with translation into several languages in parallel. In-house project managers coordinate the assignments against the project deadlines. The brief should identify each target language and regional variant, the source material and the intended use. See multilingual project management for the service scope.
Does the agency provide conference and meeting interpreting?
Yes. Babylon Translations provides simultaneous interpreting at symposia, seminars and conferences, and consecutive interpreting at business meetings. The appropriate format depends on how the event runs: continuous speech or exchanges with pauses for interpretation. An enquiry should specify the language combination, subject, date, location and format so the assignment can be discussed precisely.
What is needed for a translation quote?
A quote request needs the source files, source and target languages, intended use and required date. Existing terminology or reference translations help define the assignment. Requests go by email or phone through the contact page. Cost and timing depend on the material, volume, language combination and required service; no universal turnaround applies.
