Accurate Human Translation – Not Just Machine Output
In a world of automated tools and AI translation, accuracy still matters.
Our work is carried out by experienced human translators who understand context, tone and terminology. From technical reports and legal contracts to academic articles and marketing materials, we translate with care so your message is clear and accurate, not just “roughly right”.
We can help with:
- Academic research papers
- Research interviews, conference materials and course documents
- Business reports, tenders and proposals
- Contracts, policies and compliance documents
- Marketing copy, websites and brochures
- Charity, NGO and public sector communications
Academic Translation for Universities, Researchers and Students
We regularly work with universities, research institutes and individual academics across the UK and overseas.
Our academic translation services include:
- Journal articles and conference papers
- Research interviews
- Ethics documentation and consent forms
- Funding bids and research proposals
- Course handbooks and teaching materials
We understand the importance of precision, confidentiality and meeting journal or institutional guidelines. If you already use TP Transcription for your English to English recordings, TP Translations is a natural partner for other language work in your project.
June 2025 – Dr Charlotte Kelley Jones, Research Associate, Queen Mary University of London
We have just finished quality checking all the focus group transcripts and just want to let you know what an impressive job you did with the second round of audio files. In particular, the high quality of the translation from Bangla/Sylheti to English was noted by two members of our research team who have Bengali backgrounds. So, many thanks to all involved in this work.
