EU & Institutional Translation
Clear language with the right institutional register
Termwise provides precision-critical translation and revision for European businesses, institutions and public-sector organisations. We focus on the terminology, formal register and practical purpose of your documents across languages.
From tender responses and institutional correspondence to compliance documentation, we agree the intended use, reference materials and review requirements before starting work.
Documents we translate
- EU-facing and institutional documentation
- Tender responses and procurement materials
- Regulatory and compliance-related documents
- Formal correspondence and administrative texts
- Policy documents, reports and supporting materials
- Public-sector and regulated business content
Languages and specialist expertise
Our core Western European language combinations are handled in house. For other combinations, we work with personally vetted, experienced translators with relevant subject expertise.
Termwise offers translation to and from all 24 official EU languages. We confirm the language combination, subject matter, intended use and review requirements before accepting each assignment.
Your terminology and guidelines come first
Your approved terms, instructions and reference documents guide the work.
01 Your references
We establish your approved terminology, templates, style guide and project instructions as the references for the assignment.
02 Institutional terminology
We consult relevant resources such as IATE and the Interinstitutional Style Guide, alongside your approved references, to support consistent terminology and formal usage.
03 Consistent language assets
For recurring work, we can maintain a termbase and translation memory to support consistency across document sets, procedures and updates.
A defined translation and revision workflow
Agree the scope
Confirm the intended institution or reader, document purpose, languages, deadline, required format and reference materials.
Translate and revise
Assign the appropriate specialist translation and review steps, with attention to institutional register, terminology and the document’s function.
Complete the checks
Check references, names, dates, figures, defined terms, headings and consistency with the agreed templates and instructions.
We flag ambiguities and conflicting information for clarification throughout the project.
Details that need particular care
A tender requirement, procedural deadline or formal reference needs to retain its function across languages. Institutional readers also expect consistent terminology, document structure and an appropriate register.
We check these details against the source and the agreed references. Where instructions, templates or terminology conflict, we raise questions before applying a consistent approach across the document set.
Auditable quality
ISO-controlled workflows with defined checks. A signed Certificate of Accuracy is available on request, documenting the files, professionals, checks and approved version.
Confidentiality
Your documents, reference materials and language assets are handled confidentially throughout the project.
One-year guarantee
We correct errors attributable to our work free of charge for twelve months after delivery.
