Client testimonials

Confusion often arises among English native-speakers when it comes to the correct nomenclature:

Officially, since 1989, Burma has been called the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. Or Myanmar, for short. According to the Myanmar constitution, the official language of the Republic is referred to as the Myanmar language.

However, most English speakers continue to refer to it as Burmese, Myanmar, Myanmese or Myanmarese.

From the other angle, if you’re a Burmese native-speaker, it’s also helpful to know that we localise into all English dialects and variants. UK English, US English, Canadian English and Australian English among them.

Our clients in London, the UK and around the world use us to translate a huge variety of materials – in addition to technical and non-technical documents – into and out of Burmese.

This might include materials like user manuals, packaging and schematics as well as:

• Patent translations
• Typesetting services
• App and software translation
• Marketing translation
• Technical translation
• E-learning localisation
• Video and audio localisation
• Subtitle engineering
• Website localisation

Burmese has some official standards for fonts but they are rarely properly used or recognised.

If you don’t have much information about this, we’ll be happy to discuss all of the most important issues and aspects with you when you get in touch to talk about your project.

As well as written documents in the Myanmar language, we also provide expert consecutive and simultaneous Burmese interpreters for all kinds of events. These include:

• Business meetings and conferences
• Presentations and speeches
• Dinners and other social events
• Voice-over and dubbing projects
• Specialist medical interpreters
• Professional court interpreters

Just like our written Burmese translation services, your verbal interpreter will always be a specialist in your field or industry.

This is vital when interpreting into or out of a language which is tonal, isochronic (meaning speech rhythm is an important part of communication), pitch-register dependent and largely monosyllabic with a subject-object-verb order like Burmese is.

Your linguist will also be an expert in the non-verbal parts of communication – body language, etiquette and so on – and how it differs between the cultures they’re bridging the gap between.
