The detail

Built for organisations, not one-off orders

Most of our business clients send work every month. A named account manager holds your glossary, your preferred spellings and your deadlines, so the tenth job reads like the first. You can approve by email or purchase order and pay on invoice, use the client portal to track every file, and set up a framework or call-off arrangement with agreed rates when the volume justifies it.

Credentials a procurement team can verify

Lingo Service Translations Ltd holds ISO 9001 (certificate 217132/B/0001/UK/En) and ISO 17100, the translation quality standard that requires a second linguist's revision on every job. We are Cyber Essentials certified, an ATC Associate member and an ITI corporate member, and we carry employer's liability, public liability and professional indemnity cover of 10 million pounds each, plus cyber liability cover of 1 million pounds. In August 2026 we were appointed to the Crown Commercial Service RM6200 Artificial Intelligence dynamic purchasing system, which public bodies can use to buy from us directly. Files are stored in the UK and handled under GDPR.

Who we work for

Our clients include law firms and immigration practices, county and borough councils, the Welsh Government and Welsh public bodies that must meet the Welsh Language Standards, NHS trusts and health boards, universities, insurers, and technology and manufacturing companies exporting from the UK. Formula 1, Save the Children and UNICEF have used us for multilingual material. Most business work is ongoing: staff handbooks that change each year, consultations that must appear in five languages on the same day, contracts that cannot wait for Monday.

Pricing for organisations

Business translation is priced per word, with repeated text charged once and lower rates for ongoing volume. Certified documents are priced per document, from 35 pounds. Desktop publishing, rush delivery and rare language pairs are quoted separately and shown on the written quote before you commit. Framework and call-off clients receive a rate card that holds for the term.
