Translation firms join forces

WEB-Translations, the online language services firm, has acquired Yorkshire-based Live Translation for an undisclosed sum.

Leeds-based Web-Translations, which helps companies with international e-commerce, said the deal for Live Translation, of Batley, was “an ideal complement” to its portfolio.

Live Translation offers professional translation and fully-managed document and website services.

Daniel Rajkumar, managing director of Web-Translations, said: “This is a great opportunity for us, as we can now cover both ends of the market; the corporate and SME clients who have planned budgets to spend on their translation needs, and the smaller businesses and individuals who are looking for a more economical service, but still demand a certain level of quality.”
