TRANSLATION SERVICES
Translation Expertise is focused on providing a quality service and complete customer satisfaction that ensures the finished material is a flawless translation that can be read as if they were originally written in the target language. We specialise in the translation of (but not limited to):
General Translation
Translation Expertise provides straightforward and accurate translations for a wide range of projects, from essays and assignments to reports and web pages.
Our general translation services are ideal for large and small projects that have a wide audience or require no specialist knowledge. Our team of translators will provide prompt and smooth translations of documents, reports, presentations, and more.
Technical Translation
Technical Manuals – Training Manuals – Workshop Manuals – Engineering Specifications
Technical translation is one of the most difficult areas of translation. Terminology can be complex and translation must be exact. Translators need to understand the industry and be able to clearly communicate the engineering concepts.
Translation Expertise understands the need for technical skills in the translation process for the engineering industry. Our translators and proof-readers are trained in industry terminology and technologies. Our teams have more than 10 years experience in electrical and mechanical systems in railway business and have previously translated technical glossaries for clients.
Legal Translation
The process of translating a legal text is complicated with bottlenecks given that not only languages are involved, but also institutions and legislation. Quite often, an institution that exists in one legal system does not exist in the other, or the same word can mean different things in different legal systems.
Moreover, the translator’s role is vital in ensuring that the situation is dealt with in a professional manner. Translation Expertise has built our strong reputation in legal services upon sworn translators and interpreters who couple their experience with expertise in international legislation.
Human Resource Management Documentation (HRM)
Putting in place the best multilingual HR and Employee handbook is a hard task for any human resource department. Translation Expertise translates Employee Handbooks and HR information to help you communicate the policies and procedures of your organisation to all your employees.
Translation Expertise understands the need to have good HR and employee information in place. We assist HR departments in getting the most out of their translation budgets by delivering effective translation of their HR material.

What do our prices depend on?
Prices depend on the following 4 things:
- Language pair (e.g. Thai into English or French into Thai or German into Thai etc) – less frequently used languages cost more, translations FROM Thai cost more than translations INTO Thai.
- Number of words – for very short translations we have a minimum charge of THB500. For larger translations, discounts are automatically built into our prices.
- Timescale – the longer you can provide us to do your translation, the lower our prices. Urgent translations are more expensive as it means we often have to rearrange the work schedules of our translators.
- Type of documents – general translations are the cheapest while legal, technical and literary translations cost more as only specific translators are qualified to do them.
