ABOUT US
Good relationships lead to better translations.
At Worldwide Languages, we believe strong relationships are the foundation of successful language services.
Language should connect businesses, not hold them back. Our job is to make sure your message reaches every market clearly, accurately and naturally.
Based in Budapest, Worldwide Languages provides professional translation services in all European languages, with deep roots in Central and Eastern Europe. We work with international manufacturers, technology companies and financial service providers, handling everything from individual documents to long-term localisation projects with the same care and quality standards.
OUR SERVICES
Professional language services, all in one place.
Choose individual services or combine them into a complete translation and localisation workflow.
SPECIALIST TRANSLATION
Linguists who know your industry.
Specialist content requires more than language skills. We match each project with a linguist experienced in the relevant subject area, so terminology, tone and regulatory requirements are handled correctly from the start.
SPECIALIST FIELD
Technical
Precise, consistent documentation for manufacturing, engineering and technology companies.
WHY IT MATTERS
Technical documents help users install, operate and maintain products safely. Unclear instructions can lead to misuse, product damage, injury or problems when entering a new market.
WHY IT NEEDS A SPECIALIST
Specialised terminology must remain consistent across large document sets, while frequent updates and complex design or authoring formats require experienced technical linguists.
TYPICAL DOCUMENTS
User manuals and operating instructions
Product specifications and datasheets
Safety data sheets
Software and UI strings
SPECIALIST FIELD
Finance
Reliable figures and consistent terminology for banks, insurers, auditors and corporate finance teams.
WHY IT MATTERS
Investors, regulators and business partners rely on accurate financial documents. Errors in figures, terminology or dates can undermine trust, create compliance issues or cause financial loss.
WHY IT NEEDS A SPECIALIST
Every figure must be exact. Reporting standards and terminology can differ between countries, deadlines are often tight, and financial content is highly confidential.
TYPICAL DOCUMENTS
Annual reports and financial statements
Audit and compliance documents
Banking and insurance materials
Investor communications
SPECIALIST FIELD
Medical
Careful medical translation where accuracy matters most—for patients, healthcare professionals and regulated markets.
WHY IT MATTERS
In medical content, an incorrect dosage, unit or contraindication can have serious consequences. Medical documentation is also highly regulated and must be available in the appropriate local language.
WHY IT NEEDS A SPECIALIST
Strict regulatory requirements, specialist terminology and patient-facing content demand clear language and rigorous review by linguists with relevant medical expertise.
TYPICAL DOCUMENTS
Medical device documentation
Clinical and pharmaceutical texts
Instructions for use and labelling
Patient information
SPECIALIST FIELD
Legal
Precise translation of documents where every word matters.
WHY IT MATTERS
Legal documents create rights and obligations. An ambiguous or inaccurate translation can change the meaning of a clause, lead to disputes or affect the validity of a document.
WHY IT NEEDS A SPECIALIST
Legal systems differ, and many terms have no direct equivalent in another language. Legal translation must be precise, preserve the original structure and, where required, meet formal or certification requirements.
TYPICAL DOCUMENTS
Contracts and agreements
Company and corporate documents
Terms, conditions and policies
Official correspondence
MACHINE TRANSLATION POST-EDITING

LOCALISATION
More than translation. Adapted to each market.
Localisation adapts your product to each market—not just the words, but also language, culture, formats, currencies, units, tone and visual elements. The result is software, games and websites that feel local to your users.
Software & app localisation
We localise desktop software, mobile apps, embedded systems and SaaS platforms, including user interfaces, help content, error messages and documentation.
Every file format in and out: JSON, XML, RESX, PO, XLIFF, strings, Android and iOS resources, and more.
Placeholders and code kept intact: variables, tags and formatting are protected so nothing breaks during the build.
Character limits respected for buttons, menus, in-vehicle displays and device screens.
Local formats: dates, times, numbers, currencies, units and sorting rules adapted to each locale.
Continuous localisation: we fit into your release cycle with fast turnaround for updates and agile sprints.
Game localisation
Players notice when a game does not feel native. Our game linguists preserve the humour, tone and personality of the original in every language.
In-game text and UI: menus, tutorials, items, quests and achievements
Dialogue and storylines with character voice, humour, wordplay and cultural references adapted for the target market, not simply translated.
Creative transcreation of names, titles and slogans where a literal translation wouldn't work.
Store pages and marketing: app store and Steam descriptions, trailers, press kits and social media content.
Cultural and age-rating review to help avoid culturally inappropriate content and potential age-rating issues.
Website & e-commerce
Websites, online shops and product catalogues localised with market-specific SEO keywords, prices and legal texts, directly in your CMS or via export files.
Multimedia & marketing
Subtitles, video scripts, e-learning courses and marketing campaigns adapted to each market so your message reaches the audience in the right tone.
LOCALISATION TESTING
We test localisation where your users actually see it.
A perfect translation can still look wrong on screen. That is why we test the localised product itself—not just the text.
Client review & approval
Reviewing translated text in context on real screens, builds or devices.
Functional checks
Links, placeholders, dates and number formats working correctly.
Client review & approval
A structured review and sign-off process with your local market teams.
Visual & UI checks
Truncation, overlapping text, incorrect fonts and missing characters.
Bug reports & fixes
Clear reports with screenshots, followed by fast fixes and retesting.
EDITING & PROOFREADING
The final step between good and publication-ready.
Even the best translation benefits from a second expert. Editing and proofreading ensure your text is accurate, consistent and error-free before it reaches clients, regulators or the public.
Protects your reputation
A single typo in a brochure, contract or product label can make a professional company appear careless.
Prevents costly mistakes
Incorrect figures, dosages or legal terms can lead to reprints, recalls, disputes or rejected submissions.
Keeps your voice consistent
Terminology and tone remain consistent across documents, languages and translators.
Improves existing texts
Machine translations, in-house drafts and translations from other agencies can be refined to publication quality.
EDITING
Bilingual review for accuracy, meaning and quality
An experienced editor compares the translation with the source, sentence by sentence. The review checks that the message is complete and accurate while improving clarity, style and natural flow.
Accuracy: nothing added, left out or misunderstood
Correct and consistent terminology, with approved glossary terms applied
Grammar, style, tone and natural flow
Suitability for the target audience and target market
Best for: translations from other sources, machine translation output and any text that will be published or signed.
PROOFREADING
The final language check before publication
Proofreading is the final check of the finished target text. The proofreader reads it as your audience will and catches the small errors that are easy to overlook.
Spelling, punctuation and typos
Numbers, dates, units and names
Formatting, layout and line breaks
Final consistency of headings, lists and references
Best for: print-ready files, websites, marketing materials and any text going directly to publication.

QUALITY
More than translation. Adapted to each market.
Quality is not a separate service at Worldwide Languages. It is built into every order at no extra cost.
Our goal is simple: accurate, consistent translations that you can publish, sign or submit with confidence. Every project follows the same proven quality process, whether it is a one-page certificate or a 500-page technical manual. Nothing leaves us until it is ready to use.
Your texts are translated by professional linguists with an average of 15 years' experience. They understand both the language and the subject matter.
HUMAN REVIEW
Human review
Every translation is reviewed for meaning, terminology and style before delivery.
TERMINOLOGY
Glossary creation
A glossary helps maintain consistent terminology from the first project to the hundredth. We use the glossary you provide or create one for you, with approved terms managed in terminology tools such as RWS MultiTerm.
SOFTWARE REVIEW
Automated quality assurance
Xbench and QA Distiller identify inconsistencies, number mismatches, missing segments and terminology errors.
CONSISTENCY
Computer-assisted translation (CAT)
CAT tools and translation memories keep terminology consistent across projects and reduce costs on repeated content.
BEYOND DELIVERY
Our work does not end when we hit “send”.
Quality is also about the service you receive. That is why customer satisfaction, follow-up and long-term relationships are part of our quality process.
01
Impeccable quality
We aim for zero errors, not “good enough”. Every translation receives final sign-off from a senior linguist before delivery, so it is ready to use without additional checking on your side.

Customer satisfaction
Your satisfaction matters. You get a dedicated contact person who knows your projects, responds quickly and adapts to your deadlines, formats and preferences.
03
Follow-up & delivery feedback
After delivery, we follow up to make sure everything meets your expectations. Your comments and preferred wording are reviewed promptly and incorporated into future work.

Long-term customer relations
We build long-term partnerships, not one-off jobs. Your feedback, style preferences and approved terms are maintained in your glossary and translation memory, helping every project build on the last.
