Documents translated for where they’re going.
Premium Lingua was founded in October 2019 to offer professional, dependable and culturally informed language services. Today we work across more than a hundred language pairs, with translators in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
What began with document translation now covers the full range of language work: localisation, interpreting, sworn and certified translation, editing and proofreading, transcription, subtitling, voice-over translation and desktop publishing. A whole multilingual project can stay with one team, from the first quote to the final file.
Quality is built into how we work, not added at the end. Every project has a named project manager, every assignment goes to a linguist with the right language pair and subject knowledge, and the work is signed off by a translator whose name is on the file. Depending on the service level, it can also include a second-linguist edit or a fuller proofreading and review.
