Our talented Portuguese linguists

All translation work is conducted by highly qualified translators. We ensure that each individual project is undertaken by the most suitable Portuguese translator whose educational and professional background matches the project in hand.  This is why we are able to tackle material as diverse as a mobile device advertising campaign, legal contracts, patient information leaflets, technical manuals, website localisation projects and doctor’s reports.

The performance of our translators is assessed against key performance criteria: accuracy, consistency, knowledge of subject terminology, formatting and completeness. Their submissions are monitored by our quality team to ensure high standards are maintained.

With the exception of linguists covering languages with rare status, as a minimum, our translators:

• must have a relevant first degree, postgraduate qualification or corresponding qualification
• are able to demonstrate a number of years full time work in an appropriate field.

We assign a project manager to every assignment to ensure the project runs smoothly and is delivered on time and within budget.

While you’re here… some quite interesting facts about the Portuguese language.

Portuguese is a Romance language spoken by about 220 million people mainly in Portugal and Brazil (Brasil), and also in Angola, Mozambique (Moçambique), Cape Verde (Cabo Verde), Guinea-Bissau (Guiné-Bissau), São Tomé e Principe, East Timor (Timor-Leste), Equatorial Guinea and Macau. There are also communities of Portuguese speakers in Goa, Daman and Diu in India, and in Malacca in Malaysia. Portuguese is a descendent of Latin, which was brought to the Iberian Peninsula by Roman soldiers, settlers and merchants from 218 BC. The earliest records of a distinctly Portuguese language appear in administrative documents dating from the 9th century AD. In 1290 King Denis decreed that Portuguese, then simply called the “Vulgar language” should be known as the Portuguese language and should be officially used. A reformed Portuguese orthography (nova ortografia), in which words were spelled more in accordance with their pronunciation, was adopted is Portugal in 1916. A slightly modified form was adopted in Brazil in 1943 and revised in 1970. A new orthography which aims to unify the written Portuguese of all the lusophone countries was adopted in Brazil in 2009. Dates have yet to be set for its adoption in the other Portuguese-speaking countries.

Where is Portuguese most widely spoken?

Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Timor-Leste, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe and China (Macau).
