Answer

Hi Kevin, I am UK account manager global top 30 translation company and if you would like to contact me I would be happy to discuss your requirements on a no obligation basis of course. A couple of things I would say from the off one maybe obvious the other maybe not so.

First if you are going to do it then do it well , a badly translated website is a very poor calling card in a new market. A reputable company will offer a free trial translation to show they know what they are doing in terms of quality/terminology etc. Obviously you need to choose a language you can check independently!

Secondly don’t only think about the immediate next market, language translation companies like multilanguage projects and the economies of scale can be passed on to the client. For example we offer a 10% discount to new clients but only on their first order. So, think what other languages you might need a year or two down the line. You will have the website text ready for further expansion.

If I can be of further assistance just let me know

Good luck!
