International team

“Two years ago, I started to collaborate with Aktuel as a freelance translator. My professional experience with Aktuel is extraordinary regarding all related aspects. The translation projects are well scheduled. The communications with the team of Project Managers is good and professional. PMs are always available for resolving any issue can arise, at any stage of the translation process. And the payments are always provided in a timely manner.”

“I have worked with Aktuel since 2013, and thoroughly recommend them – friendly, with a consistent eye to quality, and excellent communicators — what more could a freelance translator want?”

“Throughout my time working with Aktuel Translations the company has been an exemplary, professional, and friendly company to deal with. The projects that are sent through are varied and interesting, and payment is always prompt. There is a good flow of dialogue from the Project Managers, and although I am a Freelancer I feel like part of the team. I would happily recommend Aktuel Translations to anyone, and hope to continue working with them for a very long time!”

Fanny has been a freelance translator since 2006. She translates from English and German into French, specialising in the translation of patents, particularly relating to Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmaceuticals. She has been collaborating regularly with the team at Aktuel Translations since 2016.

“As a French senior translator specialising in the field of patents, with over 18 years of experience, I can honestly say that Aktuel Translations is my most valuable and faithful client. Our collaboration started back in 2012, and we have been working together ever since. Communication has always been fluid with skilled project managers, and conscientiousness is core to their values.”

“I have been collaborating with Aktuel as a German-English patent translator and proofreader since 2022. The inhouse team is always a pleasure to work with: professional, responsive and approachable. I appreciate the human touch and the value the company places on its freelancers.“

“In a quite lengthy career, I have found my association with Aktuel to be one of the most satisfying and productive.  We work together as a team with the shared aim of providing the best possible translation to our clients.”

“I’ve been working with Aktuel as a freelencer for more than a year, after a great internship experience and I have always found professional collaborators, always available both to help and have a laugh together. In addition to the extreme care with which the jobs are assigned, and the far more than reasonable deadlines, I feel the Aktuel team is the perfect place to grow personally and professionally always feeling supported.”

“I have been working with Aktuel for several years now and it has been a pleasure working with them. The PMs are professional, always friendly and respectful, and responsive to any issues or queries. They have provided me with a steady workflow over the years and the time frames to work on translations are very reasonable. In fact, knowing my deadlines most of the time well in advance gives me quite a bit of flexibility, not to mention a sense of security. In addition to that, there have never been any issues with payments. All round great experience and I would certainly be happy to continue working with them for many more years.”

“I have been working as freelance translator since 2002 (before that I studied French language at the University of Helsinki). I have lived and studied in France for 5 years when I was younger. My hobbies are reading books, geocaching and hiking. I am curious about new technology and I like to travel as a backbacker all around Europe.”

“I’m a Ph.D. in chemistry with almost 20 years of experience in chemical and pharmaceutical patent translations. I started cooperation with Aktuel Translations in 2014, and it’s been a great relationship for me ever since. My motto is ‘read carefully and understand, then translate’. This attitude is strongly supported by Aktuel.”

“I worked for Aktuel Translations as a full-time in-house translator for three years and I’m now a part-time freelance translator for Aktuel.”

“Having studied and worked in the UK for seven years, I can safely say that the team at Aktuel Translations embodies a quintessentially British ethos. They are very responsive and forthcoming; issues, if any, are dealt with very promptly, and I am really made to feel part of the team. Working freelance from a remote location, I find there is only one thing missing: tea break.”

“I specialise in English and Spanish into Brazilian Portuguese translation, transcreation, subtitling, transcription, as well as voice-over projects on a wide array of topics, such as Ethics, Law, Creative Marketing, Advertisement, Diegesis, Books, Corporate and more, with over 30 years of experience, applying Agile principles for faster turnarounds. I advocate for proactively asking regular feedback to achieve continuous learning and improvement, as well as maintaining an open line of communication with clients, and those are a couple of the many reasons why I have enjoyed working with Aktuel for more than a decade now.”

“After a great internship at Aktuel I was offered to continue translating for them as a freelancer. As I have already experienced during my internship, they are a very professional, kind and supportive group of people and I really appreciate working with them.”

“Great company to work with. Aktuel’s projects are fascinating. PMs are helpful and professional. I received all my payments at once much earlier than expected.”

“It has been a pleasure working with Aktuel Translations for almost 4 years now. I almost always receive the projects from Aktuel Translations well in advance and therefore it makes it easier for me to organise my work. The Team of Aktuel Translations is a group of professionals.”
