Translation from English to Greek and from Greek to English
English to Greek and Greek to English
If you decide to expand to the market of Greece and Cyprus, Greek translation services are just what you need. We at HumanTranslation know perfectly well how to ensure a hassle-free experience for entrepreneurs: just send your text to our manager, and it will be assigned to a competent specialist in no time.
We provide English-to-Greek translation services by engaging the best translators for whom Greek is a mother tongue. They have the appropriate credentials, relevant experience, and multiple feedback from editors and customers.
However, if you need Greek to English translation services, we have just as many specialists who will do the job for you. We will select a translator who has not only all the required qualifications and skills but also a relevant cultural background: you may need translation into American, British, or Australian English, and these versions require different experts.
Areas of Expertise
Specialized texts need to be translated by those well-versed in the subject matter, and our team naturally includes translators with experience in various areas of human knowledge. HumanTranslation can handle medical, technical, legal, financial, business, literary, marketing, and other kinds of translation that are hard for a layman to deal with.
We will also ask you about the target audience as this is an important parameter to take into account. Popular scientific articles differ in tone and style from those written for colleagues in the relevant field of science, and the text should be processed appropriately.
Certified Translation
Educational, governmental, financial, and other official institutions usually require your translated documents to be certified, and we at HumanTranslation can provide this service to you.
We have a pool of certified translators from Greek to English and English to Greek who will translate your document according to special rules and provide a signed and sealed statement that attests to its accuracy and completeness.
Quality Assurance
HumanTranslation follows the golden standard of the translation industry: each text is translated, edited, and proofread before it is returned to you.
Language Facts
- The majority of Greek speakers are found in Greece and Cyprus.
- The largest Greek diaspora is found in the United States.
- Alpha and beta are the Greek letters that actually form the word “alphabet”.
- Greek is one of the oldest living languages whose traces could be found in 34-century-old artifacts.
- Like Hebrew and Arabic, Greek was originally written from right to left.
- The language of the New Testament is ancient Greek.
- Greek was the first language where vowels appeared in writing: all other languages of that time used only consonants to write words.
- The longest word in Greek has a jaw-dropping 172 letters! It is the name of an imaginary dish used in literature.
- Like Japanese, Greek has no close “language relatives” as it is the only Hellenic language.
- Do you think Greeks put a question mark at the end of an interrogative sentence? No way: they use a semicolon(;).
Greek text is typically by one-third longer than the original English version, so be sure to inform the customer about it if the text is going to be published (and formatted) or if there is a limit of characters (like in software localization).
Before you start translating, formulate the main idea of the text. It sometimes happens that you translate and bury the main idea under hundreds of words. The central focus of the text just collapses, though the translation seems to be done correctly. Fortunately, there is an easy way to avoid this: just remind yourself of the main idea before you start the work.
If you have doubts about whether you are competent enough to translate the text, you’d better leave it to a specialist with more experience. There are enough texts to match your skills, while the reputation is easy to tarnish.
Never miss the stage of final proofreading. It is sometimes better to delay your work a little bit than provide inaccurate translation.
