You can ask a question by using our feedback form. Agencies A translation agency such as TransAction will have a whole range of specialists on its books, meaning there is more chance of finding the right translator for your particular language and subject area. In your search for the right person it can save a lot of time and effort. An agency is also in the position where it can provide extra value services to both its clients and its colleagues in the translation industry. It will have more resources than the individual translator, as well as a good understanding of the freelance sector and its variety of specialisms and needs that an in-house translation company may not have. This combination allows TransAction to be flexible and competitive when responding to clients' needs and to promote greater understanding of translation and interpreting in the eyes of the public. TransAction also helps translators and interpreters in all aspects of their work, be it to do with hardware, software, the Internet and finding language resources.
