The translation service is at competitive price and speedy. There were some errors in one of the letters translated. They offered me initially a replacement document to be sent by email and also by post which would have been Ok if I didn't need the document so urgently to be taken to London for certification in an embassy the day after I realised the mistakes. I didn't like the fact that I was told that it was my responsibility to check the document as soon as it arrived but I didn't think about doing that as I don't know the language into which it was translated at all and I happen to see the

I am pleased to write this comment for London Translation Services. I and my husband has jut moved to London from Germany and needed our medical documents translated from germman into English and we needed this as a matter of urgency. Before contacting London Translation Services I contacted many other translation agencies in london but none of them could guarantee completion of my translations for next day, I was lucky to speak to London Translations Services manager who appreciated the urgency of my case and guaranteed my translations for next day. I am grateful for his excellent customer service

Professional and competitively priced - Absolute Interpreting offered an excellent service, from providing a quotation to delivering a translated document in seven different languages on a very tight timetable to suit our needs. Exactly what you want from a translation service.

Very satisfying experience - dedicated staff, speedy response both for offering a quote and issuing the translation work, easy payment option, done remotely and effectively. Only improvement area is I found a couple of mistakes in the translation to french (I am a native french speaker) but they were minor and I did not have time to ask for it to be changed.
Overall: a very rapid good quality service, good value for the money. I recommend.
