Professional Portuguese translation

A successful translation pays attention to style, linguistic connotations and cultural appropriateness.

When translating from English to Portuguese, WorldAccent employs only mother-tongue professional Portuguese translators, selected according to their language skills, educational background, subject knowledge and experience.

Portuguese translation: London to Rio de Janeiro

Our project managers may talk to the world but they are based in London, meaning they understand your way of working. You can have all the convenience of a point of contact in the UK, while having at your disposal some 20 years of experience spanning the globe.

We are proud to live and work in London – one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world with more than 300 languages spoken. The Portuguese community in London is long established, with Portuguese trading vessels known to have visited Britain in the 15th century. You cannot visit a part of London such as Vauxhall without becoming aware of the Portuguese influence. More recently, many young Brazilians now live and work in London.

Whether you need to talk to a Portuguese community in the UK or promote a prodcut in Rio de Janeiro, you can be sure that our Portuguese translation will always be appropriate and targeted.

European Portuguese or Brazilian Portuguese?

Portuguese is spoken around the world. Although one language, there are differences from country to country, meaning it is important to translate into the correct variety. These distinctions can be seen not only in pronunciation but also in grammar, vocabulary, spelling and usage.

The main divide lies between European (or Iberian) Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. There can also be local variations in African Portuguese speaking countries, although these tend to be closer to European Portuguese than Brazilian. Whether you need to target one or more of these geographic areas, WorldAccent will provide you with a full range of options – ensuring your Portuguese translation has the right feel for your audience.

A complete Portuguese translation service

As well as translation, WorldAccent offers a range of other Portuguese language services including Portuguese copywriting, Portuguese proofreading and Portuguese brand-name checks.

We can also provide Portuguese typesetting – applying the same exacting standards to translating your visual design from English to Portuguese. From advising on the language implications of your initial designs through to producing print-ready PDFs, our London based studio are well rehearsed in producing language-appropriate, elegant layouts. They also have all the technical Portuguese DTP knowledge you would expect, from an in-depth understanding of Portuguese typographical conventions to an authoritative knowledge of Quark Xpress, InDesign, Illustrator, Word, Photoshop, Excel, Powerpoint, Acrobat and more.

Naturally, translation of your website or multimedia project is available too. Get in touch to find out how we can translate your site for a Portuguese-speaking audience and provide you with code files ready to go.

Two Portuguese translation points of interest:

  • Portuguese is the native language of over 210 million people, including some 180 million in Brazil.
  • Brazilian Portuguese differs from European Portuguese rather more than American English differs from British English.
