Specialists in multilingual translation projects

First Edition have handled translation for numerous guidebooks and volumes on fine art or architecture for Scala over the years, including translation, editing, typesetting, and proofreading services, right through to print-ready files. They've worked in many European and Asian languages, and Arabic too. Always professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

For a number of years, we had struggled to find a reliable translation partner that could work with complex medical texts from both a language and project process perspective. Working with First Edition changed all that – their accuracy and professionalism are always appreciated in the translations that they develop for us.

First Edition has been supplying translations for the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) since 2005. Having personally worked with them over the last few years, I have found them extremely efficient and reliable with a great attention to detail. The translations they have provided are always consistent and of a high quality; something that, as a growing educational institution, is hugely important to us and our course providers.

We greatly appreciate First Edition as a long-term partner for high-quality translations of our books, which they deliver in ready-to-print quality. Their editorial competence, professional flexibility and performance of large quantities in short production runs and quick turn-round times are at all times a reliable basis for our excellent co-operation.

We have been using First Edition since 1995 to translate our technical material for use on our website. We find them consistently good, so we have had no interest in trying anyone else. Always on time - a first class service.

We rely on First Edition to provide us with multilingual, specialist translators in the field of pharmaceuticals.
