Recommendations for translation (eng to polish)

pug_in_a_bed

Hello all,
I'm looking for a reliable place to get a letter translated from English to Polish, I know google translate can come up a bit ropey and as this is a rather 'narky' letter would like to do it properly.

Have googled but there's loads and I'm jsut not sure which companies are ok and which aren't!

Any suggestions welcome :j

Have you tried looking on the Polish embassy/ consulate website for a list of approved translators?

Another option would be to contact your local council and see who they contract their stuff out to - most have a service level agreement with a provider and they'll have researched who offers a good service for a decent price etc.

I used to use a company called the Brasshouse (which i think are actually run by Birmingham City Council) and they were reliable.

We use a company called The Big Word (I work in a hospital), always very helpful and reasonably priced.

There's a forum member over on the Pet Forum who is Polish, her username is gettingready, perhaps she would be able to point you in the right direction.

LOL Thankfully that never happened to me! (or if it did it was never found out)

I had an advertisement translated from a Polish girl who lives locally to me. We have a Polish food shop nearby and I just called iin to see if they could recommend anyone. It was an A4 sized textual ad and she only charged me £15!

If you have a Polish community where you live, maybe ask around?

Yes I'm sure gettingready would be only too happy to help, she seems like a lovely person, maybe you could PM her?
