About English translation
English, in the variety your audience uses every day
English has around 380 million native speakers and well over a billion more who use it as a second language, which makes it the language most organisations reach for when they want one version to travel.
At GoLocalise, we work with native English translators and confirm the variety and style conventions before the work starts. Every text is reviewed by a second linguist before it reaches you.
How can we help you?
Your project manager has everything covered
One point of contact from brief to delivery, and a second linguist on every text before it reaches you.
Brief review
We review your source material, your readers, and which variety of English and style conventions apply.
Linguist assignment
Your project goes to a native English translator with experience in the relevant field.
Translation and review
The text is translated and then checked by a second native linguist for accuracy, consistency, and register.
Delivery
Your translated files in the format you need, on budget and on time.
Regional varieties
British, American or international English
That reach is also what makes the variety question worth settling early. British and American English differ in spelling, punctuation, date formats, vocabulary, and a fair amount of idiom, and a document that mixes the two reads as careless to anyone who works in either.
Where your readers are spread across markets, a deliberately neutral international English avoids region-specific idiom and phrasing that would slow down a second-language reader.
Areas of expertise
What we translate
From corporate video and eLearning to documentary, advertising and subtitles — always audiovisual, and always in the variety your viewers use.
Corporate and brand video
Company films and internal communications, in one variety applied consistently rather than blended.
eLearning and training video
Course modules rolled out across several countries, consistent from one module to the next.
Documentary and interviews
Factual programming and interviews, where idiom that puzzles a viewer costs you the line.
Advertising and social video
Campaigns written for the market you are addressing, not for an average of all of them.
Subtitles and captions
Frame-accurate subtitles and SDH captions, cued and timed to the picture.
Voice over and dubbing scripts
Scripts timed to the original, ready for a British, American or accented English voice.
Deliverables
How your English translation arrives
Subtitle files
SRT, VTT, STL or TTML, burnt in or as separate files, ready to drop into your edit.
One variety, applied throughout
Spelling, dates and measurements consistent from the first frame to the last, in the variety agreed at the brief.
Dual-column scripts
Source and target side by side with timecodes, the format the studio records from.
Reviewed, never single-pass
Every script is checked by a second native linguist before it reaches the studio.

The voiceovers we receive are of a very high quality and the turnaround is extremely quick. We are very happy to recommend GoLocalise to other businesses.
It was a pleasure to work with David and the team at GoLocalise. David gave me lots of help and advice, guiding me through my first subtitling project. He really knows his stuff! The experience was completely pain-free. I would not hesitate to recommend GoLocalise – outstanding work at a good price.
They're reliable, adaptive and obsessed with quality. And while you can never be 100% guaranteed of perfection, you can be sure GoLocalise will go the extra mile to get it right every time.

It depends on your readers. British English suits the UK, Ireland, and much of the Commonwealth, while American English suits the United States and markets that follow US conventions. The differences run beyond spelling into punctuation, dates, measurements, and idiom. Where a document has to serve several markets at once, we recommend picking one variety and applying it consistently rather than blending them.
