Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,Value
I would happily recommend Bath Translations. They did a great job for us and our Nordic client said that they have rarely seen translations as good, especially in the medical industry.

An excellent experience. We had a rather vague brief of just needing a Japanese speaker on hand to grease the wheels and interpret on an ad hoc basis when needed at a knife forging event. Julia took this all in her stride and was really helpful and able to use her initiative to step in and assist. Would thoroughly recommend.

Very efficiently and competently handled a complex Japanese medical/pharmaceutical training package for us, including translation and voice recording. On-time, to a high standard, end client very complimentary. Will definitely be using again.
