Professional translators help

Post by hetheclaret » Fri Jan 24, 2025 9:09 am

Hi - I am working on a project and there are two books quite crucial to it. They are in Swedish and have never been published in English.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a company that provides professional translation services?

There are plenty of AI-type tools out there but 1) most only offer a limited amount of free translation before it becomes ruinously expensive and 2) I don't trust its accuracy/I'm afraid of the modern world. I would have asked Hjalmar Ekdal as he's had a lot of spare time on his hands but he's just gone on loan.

Any help much appreciated. UTC

Ps obviously if there are any fluent Swedish + English speakers that fancy translating 500/600 pages of Swedish history then please get in touch!

I have used the blow company, based in in Clitheroe, in the past for professional business translations. Was very pleased with their work. Not sure if they do Swedish, but worth asking. Think that it's likely to be expensive wherever you go unfortunately. :(

This is the leading professional translator site.

You can either post the job or look for SWE/ENG translators.

Might find someone on freelancer.com too with it being such a niche thing.
