Publishing Translation at Talking Heads

Taking your creative work into a wider audience is potentially a journey into the unknown, especially if you’re looking to reach a specific global audience. If you have never translated any written works before into different languages, or even if you have done so on many occasions, at Talking Heads we have the expertise and knowledge that makes this process efficient and accurate throughout. We have worked with clients from many areas of publishing, from book publishers to magazines, online-only media companies to large publishing houses, assisting them in reaching out to a wider audience. Whichever language you are looking to target, we have a huge network of native-speaking linguists who will realise your ambition and provide a reliable translation for publication service. 

What makes us different from other services is that we do not just simply translate your work - we translate from the point of view of a native speaker. With our native speakers, many of whom are multilingual, you will see that cultural context is never lost, and local dialect variations are covered. Additionally, we ensure that localisation is covered so that your work not only reads seamlessly in the translated language, but it also looks as though it is written by a local to begin with. Regardless of whether it is desktop publishing or novel translation, we are confident that the reader is unable to tell that the content was originally written in another language.
