Why choose a translation agency over a freelancer?

Why a translation agency over a freelancer - Translation Agency - Certified Translation

As a business, there are many reasons why you might be looking to outsource important work to a translation service. Having confidence in your language and tone can be essential for expanding to meet new audiences, working with foreign clients, or any number of other bilingual factors. Here are a few reasons why working with a translation agency over a freelancer could be the ideal choice for your business.

Which option is right for you?

When your work requires language services, there are plenty of options to choose from. Using in-house translation or outsourcing work to a freelancer can appear to be a cost-effective and simple way to achieve your translation needs. However, these methods often have hidden flaws, leading to poor quality work that doesn’t meet the high standards you deserve.

Working with a certified translation agency such as Atlas Translations ensures that you receive the high quality, efficient and accurate standard of work you’re looking for. With over thirty years of experience in the translation industry, we’re a recognised and trusted brand that never fails to deliver.

Translation that meets your needs

By working with Atlas translation agency over a freelancer, you’re guaranteed a service catered to your unique requirements. Each project we work on involves a team of highly-trained translators guided by an experienced project manager. Unlike freelancers, who may only specialise in a certain area, our wide range of expertise allows you to find the perfect match for your business.

Even the most effective freelancer can only take on so much, and may exaggerate their capabilities. Unfortunately, this can sometimes lead to work that is late or doesn’t provide the quality you expect. Here at Atlas, we have the know-how and the proven results to ensure your business needs are met on time and at the exceptional standard you’re looking for.

A smooth and stress-free translation service
