Who we are
We are Absolute Translations, a bunch of
experienced and motivated professionals who
help you cross boundaries, open doors, and –
why not – even conquer the world.
How? With tailored advice, a passion for
languages and a broad cultural knowledge.
We’re boutique, flexible and creative, and we
have an amazing track record in delivering
quality work.
We tackle even the largest of jobs thanks to
the technology we use and our translation
teams worldwide.
What we do
We work in specialised technical, legal and
corporate translation, artistic transcreation
and audiovisual production for a wide range
of sectors and services.
If you are in TV/radio, marketing/advertising,
IT/software development, science/biotech,
engineering or the agribusiness, read on.
We have what you need.
For live events, like a meeting with your guests
from China, we offer interpreting services
in almost any language. Our team abroad
can also assist you during trade missions,
conferences or any other type of event.
How we work
We love technology! We work with
memoQ Adriatic, an enterprise translation
management system that gives us the
edge we need to compete in this highly
competitive market.
memoQ Adriatic runs on a dedicated server
and speeds up translation by allowing multiple
translators and reviewers to work on projects
simultaneously.
It also integrates a Customer Portal where you
can manage your translation requests, approve
quotes, track the status of a translation and
download files when complete.
Who you will work with
Experienced and motivated professionals!
We handpick our linguists based on native
language, qualifications and specialty fields
and we assign them to our clients based on
expertise and corporate needs. You will work
with a team of professionals that will be ‘your’
dedicated team.
What our clients value the most from
working with Absolute Translations is that
we offer them ‘peace of mind’. We have a
peer review system in place that monitors
and controls, and that ultimately ensures the
highest quality.

Our services
Text translation
We specialise in audio/video, creative,
technical, legal and corporate and translate
into 250+ languages and dialects.
You will work with a team of specialised
translators, seasoned linguists and
industry experts native to the country
or community you are targeting, who
will be your translation team.
Audio/video translation
Voice-over recording, voice talent casting,
script adaptation, time-coding or subtitling,
you will work with the best in the industry.
Our native voice talents are professional artists
with many years’ experience in areas ranging
from video games, corporate presentation
videos and e-learning videos to documentaries
and commercials.
Multilingual publication
From technical manuals to fantastic fiction, we
translate your artwork in-template and deliver
print-ready artwork in 250+ languages.
Our desktop publishing team works in Roman,
complex script and right to left languages and
our native translation teams look after all the
QA and post production checks.
Website localisation
Localisation means adapting content to a new
target market. This may or may not involve
translation as you can also localise between
two variants of the same language.
Internet users will naturally feel more
comfortable if the information is presented
in their native language. By localising your
website you will tap into a whole new market.
Transcreation
Translating catchy phrases, puns, imagery
and cultural connotations is only possible by
recreating the meaning and the effect of the
pun, not by translating it.
A witty punchy tagline may well be witty and
punchy in English, but if the meaning is lost in
translation, all that’s left is a confusing phrase.
This is where transcreation comes into play.
Conference interpreting
Interpreting or oral translation is a skill that
few linguists master. A skilled interpreter has
many years of training under their belt and will
specialise in a select number of fields only.
Our conference interpreters are NAATI
accredited at the senior and advanced levels
and are members of AIIC, the international
conference interpreter association.

memoQ Adriatic
memoQ Adriatic is an enterprise
translation management system
that offers:
• Server access and storage
• Quality assurance
• Terminology management
• Customer portal
• Automation and control
Server access and storage
The server is a repository for translation
assets and a hub for collaborative translation
projects. It allows us, you and our translation
teams to collaborate on translation projects in
real-time and use the translation assets stored.
Quality assurance
Translation assets can be translation
memories, termbases, reference materials and
more. Translators can share these assets with
each other and communicate with project
managers and customers through a discussion
forum. This adds an extra layer of quality
monitoring and control.
Terminology management
Terminology management is important
because it allows you to keep your brand
message consistent in all the languages you
localise in. It allows you to offer your target
markets a local brand experience while
keeping core corporate messages consistent
across your markets.
Customer portal
memoQ Adriatic also comprises a Customer
Portal where you can manage your translation
projects with Absolute Translations. You can
upload documents for translation, request
quotes, accept quotes, start jobs, track the
status of translation projects and download
translations that are ready.
“It gives us an edge
when it comes to
quality assurance and
translation speed.”

7. The feedback from our Chinese testers was
that it was the best translation amongst
three. The translation demonstrated a good
understanding of geological terms and overall
content. Loyal to the English original, with
good sentence flow. I will be recommending
you for the next publication and any other
products requiring Chinese translation.
Chantelle, Geoscience Australia
My Chinese colleague told me that your
translation was superior to the other
company we have been using. So some
good feedback for you!
Skye, Tax, Oil & Gas, China – Ernst & Young
I received feedback from our French speakers
in Guinea who said that the French on the
web is excellent, so thank you very much for
the high quality translation.
Suzie, Guinea Alumina Corporation
Our manager was impressed by the
professionalism and level of service offered
by two of your interpreters at the 2013 APREC
conference in the Gold Coast and we are now
looking for interpreters for upcoming meetings
in Qatar. My colleague Jenna, from BDO
Brisbane, has very kindly forwarded me your
contact details.
