Translation services
for companies

Communicating with customers and potential customers in other languages can be quite a challenge.

The best choice to ensure the quality of content directed at foreign clients is to use a professional translation service with specialised native speakers who can adapt the content, taking into account the socio-cultural context and the jargon used in your sector.

By using a specialised translation service, you are guaranteed that your message is conveyed without errors in communication. The content is adapted so that it sounds natural to your foreign clients, mirrors the original text, and takes into account the socio-cultural context of the target country.

Our specialised professionals have a proven minimum experience of 5 years in your area and ensure that your message comes across accurately. A team is assigned to each project, comprising a translator, a proofreader, and your dedicated manager, who assures the quality of the final product.

Do you need to translate technical documents in any of these areas?

When you want to translate legal content, be it contracts, company legal information, drafts, patents, licences, etc., inconsistencies can lead to serious judicial or financial consequences. To prevent this from happening, the use of a translation service with native and specialised professionals in the field, who know the legal system of the origin and target countries and guarantee precise use of terminology, is crucial.

Some entities may ask you to provide a certified translation of a document, particularly when it comes to business contracts or documents that prove your level of education, professional experience, or other certificates. A certified translation is a notarial document that certifies the translator and the accuracy of the translation.

Unlike in other countries, where a person may carry the status of sworn translator, in Portugal it is a certified translation that rubber-stamps the translator's identity.

Upwords has a team of specialised legal translators who are qualified to certify your documents, if you wish. That means you don't have to worry about the associated bureaucracies.

However, if you need to submit your document to an authority outside the country, notary certification is not enough; you may need an apostille whenever the translated document is intended for a country that has signed or acceded to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961.

Issuing the apostille authenticates your document abroad.

Check which countries have signed the Hague Convention.

For countries that have not signed the Hague Convention, it is necessary to check for each destination country which form of legalisation is required. We advise you to contact the organization where the translation needs to be delivered directly to find out what type of certification is required.

If your content is marketing-related, adapting the translated text to new circumstances is extremely important. Your content must be translated creatively so that it remains captivating and appealing. This process, also known as transcreation, involves the creative translation of written content, but also the analysis of visual design and images, to ensure that all information is adapted to the intended socio-cultural context.
