Applying for a Translation

All departments consider that the work they send for translation is a priority and we do our best to understand your needs and to return translations punctually. Our aim is to operate a system which is fair to all departments, offices and centres, and we emphasis that documents should be sent early so that the work may be completed within a reasonable timescale.

How to send work?

• Please send the document electronically to translation@aber.ac.uk and include the following information
  • Contact details (name, email, address, telephone no., department/office
  • Title of document
  • Number of words
  • An idea of when you need the translation to be returned
  • Any other comments

What happens next?

The work and your details shall be recorded on the translation data base and a translator shall be appointed to the work as soon as possible .You shall receive and email confirming the receipt of your work and should we have any questions regarding the timescale which has been noted by you we shall contact you to discuss this. You may enquire about the status of your work by sending an email to translation@aber.ac.uk or telephoning ext. 2045.

Returning Translations

We shall return the translation to the individual who sent the work or to the person nominated by him/her. We encourage departments to ensure that one person is responsible for sending work to translation on behalf of the department so that a document is not sent more than once. Please remember to keep a copy of the translation on record once it has been returned. Should you update the document in future we shall ask for the Welsh version to assist us with the revisions and help us return the work more quickly.
