Editorial Services

Atlas Translations offers full Editorial services in English and over 340 additional languages

Atlas Translations have provided a variety of services for Alzheimer’s Society, including the translation of our flagship information resource ‘Worried about your memory?’ into a variety of different languages. The service we have received is consistently to high standard, with staff going beyond the call of duty to fulfil our requirements. I will definitely be using this translation agency again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for top quality translation services.

You have been such a help and we can’t thank you enough. We’re getting an amazing response. It is quite a challenge, but we wouldn’t be making our deadlines without your translation agency’s assistance. Many many thanks.

BBC

Atlas completed the work within our time frame and the proofreading service gave us the extra peace of mind that the translations were accurate and of quality.

It’s tough when you have to rely on a translation agency and trust that the translations are correct but with Atlas, we can rest assured that the language, tone, and style of translation is suitable for our audiences.

BookTrust

Tottenham Hotspur

Atlas provided us with a high quality, professional, courteous and competitively priced service, with a minimum of fuss. I was pleased with the translation agency’s communications and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

NHS Confederation

Offering full business translation services, Atlas Translations can help when you need editorial services to adapt, enhance or sharpen your content for a new market or for an existing one.

Our writers and proofreaders are specialists in specific areas, such as medicine, law, marketing and IT. We take the time and effort to match your editorial services project with someone who has appropriate and relevant knowledge and skills.

We can work on your English text or on any professional translation and polish it to perfection.

Editing

Don’t let avoidable mistakes ruin your content. Writing is one thing, but achieving the standards of a professional publication is another.

Our expert editors can fine-tune your text to make it clear, free-flowing and completely free of mistakes − in English or any other language.

Rewriting

If your text needs a major overhaul, our professional writers can revise it from start to finish, improving its structure, narrative flow and tone of voice.

Our rewriters are all experienced authors in their native languages with proven editorial skills. You can count on them to write accurately and sensitively.

Condensing and Summarising

We can shorten (abridge) your text to achieve a particular target length, using features such as Track Changes to show you where we’ve made our cuts.

We can also write abstracts or executive summaries that give readers a general overview of a long document, either before or instead of reading the entire text.

Americanisation, Australianisation and Anglicisation

American English, Australian English and UK English have many important differences in terms of spelling, punctuation, usage and style. If you want your text to seem natural and authentic to readers, it needs to be written in the style they’re used to.

We can adapt your English text for American, Australian or UK markets. This includes elements such as tables, abbreviations, units of measurement and so on. We offer specialists in particular areas, such as education or politics, ensuring your text is adapted with total accuracy.

Copywriting

We can write punchy, vivid text for adverts and marketing materials that work across a range of languages. Promote your products or services in markets around the world!

Many of our copywriters are specialists in particular sectors or industries, so they’re already up-to-speed with the language and conventions your readers expect.

Fact-Checking, Research and Validation

Are you sure every word in your text is true? If not, take advantage of our fact-checking and research services for peace of mind before you publish. We will validate any kind of content, as well as check bibliographic references and glossary definitions.

Indexing and Glossary Creation

For longer documents, indexes are great resources for readers. They help readers find the information they want quickly and easily. Glossaries help them understand specialized terms.

We can compile comprehensive, consistent indexes and glossaries that add value and authority to your content.

Our expert indexers each specialise in a different area. They understand the relationships between topics, building an index that helps readers get to the heart of your content.

Plain English

If you’ve ever heard of “layman’s terms”, this is what they mean. Plain English uses simple, familiar words and phrases to make absolutely sure everyone can understand your text the first time they read it.

We can turn your existing content into Plain English, rephrasing unfamiliar terms and simplifying structure so that the meaning is 100% clear to readers of all backgrounds.

Easy Read

Easy Read uses a combination of plain language, large print, pictures and audio to make documents available to a wider audience. We offer Easy Read in English and over 300 other languages.
