Yes. Native Albanian linguists translate into standard (Tosk-based) Albanian and a second reviews every text, so it reads naturally across Albania, Kosovo and North Macedonia.

Yes — Albanian translation, subtitling and voice over from one team, so your whole project stays consistent from script to screen.

Yes — audiovisual translation is our specialisation: subtitles, captions and voice-over scripts, alongside corporate and marketing text. We deliver edit-ready SRT/VTT and timed scripts.

For written and on-screen use we work in standard (Tosk-based) Albanian, understood across Albania, Kosovo and North Macedonia. Dialect choices mainly come up in spoken projects like voice-over.

For written material, neither question usually arises: standard Albanian, which is based on Tosk, is the written form used across Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. Gheg is very much alive in speech and in some regional media, but it is not the standard for documents, marketing, or published content. If your project is spoken rather than written, such as a voice over or a dubbing script, the question becomes relevant and we will raise it.

The written standard is shared, but institutional vocabulary, some everyday terms, and a number of loanwords differ, and Kosovo readers notice a text written purely for the Albanian market. Where a project targets Kosovo specifically, we assign a translator based there.

Any subject matter, delivered for video and audio: subtitles, voice-over scripts, eLearning and corporate film, plus the accompanying text. Whether it is a corporate interview, a training video or a documentary, we translate and adapt it into natural standard Albanian for Albania, Kosovo and the wider region.

Most short documents are delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Word count, subject complexity and turnaround all move the date, and your project manager will confirm the timeline at the start.

Less than people expect: the document, script or subtitle file, its word count, what the text is actually for, and the date you need it by. A draft is fine — we would rather quote on what exists than wait for a final version that eats your deadline. A named project manager comes back with an itemised quote, normally within four working hours.

More than half of enquiries get a reply within thirty minutes during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm UK time), and the itemised quote normally follows within four working hours. After that you have one dedicated project manager who owns the job from brief to final file — not a ticket queue, and not a different name on every email. If it is easier, call +44 207 095 5730 and ask for them by name.

Yes, and it is one of the commonest reasons people get in touch. Tell us it is for a pitch and you get a figure you can put in front of your own client, itemised so it stands up to being picked apart, with no obligation and no follow-up sales calls if the pitch goes elsewhere. If it lands, the quote still holds and we already know the project.
