Business Language Services - Cardiff, UK

Headquarters: Cardiff, UK

Established in 1990, Business Language Services Ltd. (BLS) is a leading provider of translation, interpreting, English and foreign language training, voiceovers, subtitling and desktop publishing.

Since 1990, Business Language Services Ltd. (BLS) has been helping companies break down language and cultural barriers and has gained a reputation as one of the UK's leading language services providers to professionals worldwide. We are a full member of the Association of Translation Companies (ATC).

BLS provides the full range of language services including translation services, interpreting services, language and cultural training, typesetting, proofreading, voiceovers, foreign telemarketing and language consultancy. We offer translation from and into just about every language used today.

We have succeeded by listening to and working with our clients, who increasingly demand the quality, responsiveness, professionalism and support that only a major business language services provider can supply. We view the long-term relationships with our customers as an indication that we are providing the service and quality they require - and we are grateful that they are telling others about BLS too.

We understand that your literature represents your company abroad, so quality is paramount. BLS offers the assurance that all translations are carried out by highly-qualified, professional translators working within their specialist subject areas into their mother tongue. This ensures that your translation will be linguistically and culturally appropriate for the markets for which it is intended.

We work with all subjects and formats including websites, technical manuals, legal contracts, marketing literature, medical and pharmaceutical texts, financial documents, training manuals, patents, telecommunications, IT, engineering and construction, into and from all the major world languages. Our translators, who are based around the world, are carefully selected on their qualifications and experience and their work for BLS is constantly monitored, so we are able to select the best person for your job. All translations are proofread by a second, independent linguist.

For meetings, works councils, exhibitions, guided tours, court work and conferences, BLS provides a complete interpreting service.

Our team of well-qualified interpreters comprises both experienced local linguists, who can respond quickly to provide consecutive interpreting at a meeting or for a video-conference call, and international interpreters who work worldwide to provide simultaneous interpreting at major international conferences and workshops.

We can provide all the interpreting equipment you may need, including sound-proofed booths, a full sound and amplification system, cordless headsets, microphones, recording equipment and tour-guide systems.

Winner of the 2003 National Language Training Awards - our foreign language training speaks for itself!

BLS offers a completely flexible approach to language learning. We understand that people benefit from learning a language in a way that suits them, at their own speed, at a time and on a day which fits their work schedule. Our professional trainers understand that some people may have had bad experiences at school and are wary of the word ‘grammar’, whereas others are keen to know how a language is put together. BLS aims to ensure that any foreign language training you undertake with us is both enjoyable and effective. We have a training centre in central Cardiff but we can provide training at your home or office, at other UK venues or in most major cities worldwide, if required.

Our trainers have many years’ experience of developing and providing language training courses for business and professional people. All BLS’s training conforms to the National Language Standards and we can prepare students for various language qualifications including the London Chamber of Commerce’s FLAW, the OCR’s examination in business language competence and National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs).
