International Team

Achim – German

Having worked for several translation agencies over the past years, I can truly say that Aktuel Translations stand out in all respects: for more than 10 years they send me a constant flow of high quality source texts, offer realistic deadlines, respond fast to emails, are always professional, friendly and helpful, and, last but not least, pay always on-time.

But above all, it’s a pleasure to work with Aktuel Translations because they make you feel a part of the team.

I have worked with Aktuel Translations since 2014 and have never been disappointed. The collaboration has always been smooth and enjoyable. The PMs are professional, efficient and very pleasant to work with. The projects offered are interesting and relevant, and always followed by timely payments. It’s hard to find a better partner than Aktuel Translations, and I highly recommend them to fellow freelancers. An extra plus are the company’s language-related, often humorous, little gems regularly posted on Twitter. Looking forward to many more years of collaboration!

Two years ago, I started to collaborate with Aktuel as a freelance translator. My professional experience with Aktuel is extraordinary regarding all related aspects. The translation projects are well scheduled. The communications with the team of Project Managers is good and professional. PMs are always available for resolving any issue can arise, at any stage of the translation process. And the payments are always provided in a timely manner.

I have worked with Aktuel since 2013, and thoroughly recommend them – friendly, with a consistent eye to quality, and excellent communicators — what more could a freelance translator want?

I have been working with Aktuel since my internship in 2016/2017. The communication is always very friendly and any arising questions regarding the translation are usually answered within minutes. The payment is transferred punctually and jobs are offered on a regular basis. Great client!

Great company to work with. Aktuel’s projects are fascinating. PMs are helpful and professional. I received all my payments at once much earlier than expected.

Aktuel Translations is a highly valued customer of mine because they are reliable, consistent, and accurate.

I am looking forward to our continued cooperation..

I have been working with Aktuel for several years now and it has been a pleasure working with them. The PMs are professional, always friendly and respectful, and responsive to any issues or queries. They have provided me with a steady workflow over the years and the time frames to work on translations are very reasonable. In fact, knowing my deadlines most of the time well in advance gives me quite a bit of flexibility, not to mention a sense of security. In addition to that, there have never been any issues with payments. All round great experience and I would certainly be happy to continue working with them for many more years.

I have been working as freelance translator since 2002 (before that I studied French language at the University of Helsinki). I have lived and studied in France for 5 years when I was younger.

Having studied and worked in the UK for seven years, I can safely say that the team at Aktuel Translations embodies a quintessentially British ethos. They are very responsive and forthcoming; issues, if any, are dealt with very promptly, and I am really made to feel part of the team. Working freelance from a remote location, I find there is only one thing missing: tea break.

Vanessa – Portuguese

I specialise in English and Spanish into Brazilian Portuguese translation, transcreation, subtitling, transcription, as well as voice-over projects on a wide array of topics, such as Ethics, Law, Creative Marketing, Advertisement, Diegesis, Books, Corporate and more, with over 30 years of experience, applying Agile principles for faster turnarounds. I advocate for proactively asking regular feedback to achieve continuous learning and improvement, as well as maintaining an open line of communication with clients, and those are a couple of the many reasons why I have enjoyed working with Aktuel for more than a decade now.

Virginia – Italian

I started working as a freelance translator in 2017, after a 3-month internship at Aktuel, which helped me gain professional experience and a real insight into technical translation. As a freelancer, I have the chance to work on numerous projects and get useful feedback from the PMs, which is a source of continuous improvement. After 3 years, I can say I feel very happy with what I do, and my time spent at Aktuel was certainly key to this.
