As an author or publisher, getting your book translated so that it can be sold on international platforms and via global retailers is a great way to reach a wider audience.

We not only translate your copy, but we can also supply characters for over 200 languages, including Asian characters and Middle Eastern scripts (Chinese, Arabic, Japanese and Indian languages) ALL in a web-friendly format. This includes providing web pages in HTML, Unicode or e-book formats.
When you work with PAB, you’re working with experienced translators and editors who ensure that the translated version reflects the author’s original meaning, making the final book relevant to readers worldwide, irrespective of language and culture.

We understand the importance of quality and accuracy and this comes at the forefront of our translation services. Our many years of experience have made it possible for us to have some of the most talented professional translators on our team, supporting leading authors and publishing houses to produce new and updated work around the world in more than 200 languages.

Industry leading checks
We pride ourselves on our commitment to high standards; every piece of translation we carry out for you is checked a minimum of three times. Something no other agency does as standard. All translations are proofread by a second qualified translator and then proofed for a third time in-house before we send the final translation back to the client.
You wouldn’t let just anyone write for you – so don’t let just anyone do your translation!

I commissioned the PAB Languages team to translate my book, ‘Review of Knowledge on Strategy Development, Strategic Management and Analysis’ from Polish to English and I highly recommend them. They offered competitive pricing, a fast turnaround and, most importantly, the translation was Excellent! I’ll definitely be working with them again.
