The Best Translation Services in Perth Better Than AI!

Quality Human Service: To make sure you’re getting professional-grade, culturally accurate translations and not AI slop, we looked at sample translations (where available) and client feedback, the latter taken from solo professionals, businesses, and articles. Extra marks were then handed to firms that utilised native speakers. Experience: We only picked agencies with at least 3 years of actual translation experience. Case studies and company bios confirmed that for us. Quick Turnaround: Delays will cost you a lot of money, so we checked every agency’s turnaround time, specifically their delivery speed, as confirmed by client feedback. On average, translation time in Perth takes about 2–3 business days (for smaller documents) to 2–3 months (for 100,000+ words). We used this timeframe as a benchmark. Naturally, quicker companies earned more points, as long as their quality didn’t fall in exchange for speed. Integrity: Through personal experience and assessment of terms and services, our team picked agencies with transparent and easy-to-follow confidentiality policies. Accreditation: Only agencies accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) made the cut. We gave extra marks to those with ISO certifications.

I used to be one of those penny-pinching biz heads who thought translation apps were cheat codes. The day I butchered ‘müssen’ into ‘dürfen’ changed that brainfart of a belief.

If you know Deutsch, you’ll know that’s an absolute contract-killer. The difference between ‘must’ and ‘may’ can mean losing cash.

Well, at least I learned my lesson. That’s why these days, I invest in professional, accurate translators, none of that robotic stuff.

We’re an impatient bunch, so Perth Translation Services scoring the same-day deliveries had us nodding in approval. While most names here average 2–3 days for documents, this one often cuts the timeline in half.

They’re also geared for businesses. The bulk of their work comes from the legal, industrial, medical, corporate sectors, and about 10 other industries.

Don’t worry, though, as individual services are offered, chiefly for translating all sorts of licenses, certificates, and IDs.

The major drawback is that they don’t translate websites, unlike their competitors. You won’t find specialised services such as real-time interpretation and voice-overs either.

Still, big-time clients like Merck and Consep trust them, and that’s a win in our books.

More notably, their fees stick to Perth’s typical pricing.

We’re also fans of their detailed, free quotes. After inquiring, they sent us a thorough but digestible document explaining the pricing, delivery, payment method, and all the other processes involved.

Pros

  • Speedy turnaround (about 1 day)
  • Covers 10+ industries
  • Translates any license and ID
  • Justified prices
  • Operating for 10+ years
  • Transparent quotes

Cons

  • Doesn’t translate websites
  • No specialised options like voice-overs

Professional and Efficient

‘I recently had the pleasure of using this translation service, and I am extremely impressed with the quality and speed of their work. The team delivered the translation ahead of schedule, and the accuracy was spot on. Their communication was excellent throughout the process, and they made sure all my needs were met. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of professional and efficient translations. I will definitely be using them again in the future!’

Fast Service

‘I had a couple of documents to be translated from Dutch to English. I contacted the company via the main page and uploaded the documents for a quote. Received the quote and finalized the process within a couple of hours. Next day i received the translated documents by mail already without going for the fast service option. A very pleasant and fast experience. Certainly recommended.’

When it comes to scale and accreditation, Etholink is among the most reliable choices.

We say that because their NAATI and ISO-certified translators handle about 150 languages.

Additionally, they have one of the longest service lists here, made up of regular translation, subtitle, and voiceover work.

We also gave them bonus points for experience. The agency opened in 2011 and has worked with over 1,000 organisations since then.

It’s no wonder established customers like Monash University, BHP, and even NSW’s government have been in their client base for years.

Unfortunately, that’s also a con. Most of their services aren’t really tailored for individual use.

Booking can also be headache-inducing. Sure, they’re open 24/7, but even those late-night and midnight hours can get tight. Ringing between 6 am and 8 am is your best chance of getting a slot.

What’s great, though, is that Ethnolink’s prices are fair for Perth.

Pros

  • Operating since 2011
  • ISO-certified
  • Has worked with over 1,000 orgs
  • Open 24/7
  • Translates over 150 languages
  • Big clients like the Government of NSW

Cons

  • Tricky to book
  • Not suitable for individual clients (best for businesses)

Excellent Translation

‘Fast and reliable service. Excellent translation and quicker than I expected. Highly recommended.’

At Interlingual, every translator is NAATI-certified, and the language coverage is around 190-plus. Being open since 2009 also granted them bonus marks.

Turnaround times rarely miss, too. Clients say it usually lands at 2–5 working days, though you can snag a 24-hour express option for an added cost.

We also considered their industry range. Over 10 sectors make up their clientele, including major ones like legal and education.

The pricing is pretty fair for Perth as well.

No Sunday operations, though. Most of this list’s alternatives are open daily, some even 24/7.

Moreover, they don’t offer a loyalty program.

Interlingual remains solid in our eyes, nonetheless. Additional services like free consultations and real-time interpretation for court hearings or meetings help a lot.

We love the speedy quotes, too. We received ours within a day.

Pros

  • Operating since 2009
  • Reasonable prices
  • Covers 10+ sectors
  • Translates 190-plus languages
  • Free consultations
  • Speedy quotes

Cons

  • Sunday closure
  • No loyalty program

Good Quality

‘I appreciate their high level of professionalism, hassle-free communication and their speedy-payment method. They are definitely a company that recognizes and appreciates good quality and professional service from their Translators, & as such they are able to build and nurture positive and sustainable relationships. Definitely recommend them as the best to work with.👌👌👌’

Really Efficient

‘Excellent service. I’ve tried using other services but Interlingual was really efficient; they sent me a quote on the same day with reazonable prices and all the details. The translation was accurate and came quickly. 100% recommended’

Experience and service variety gave Australian Multilingual Services (AMLS) a leg up during our selection phase.

They’ve been going steady since 2004, providing NAATI-certified translations for websites, brochures, and personal documents. Most of their translators are native speakers, too.

AMLS even accepts voice-over jobs, an offering only a few provide. Specifically, their team can fully translate or make tweaks to your script and provide multilingual actors who can voice most genders, tones, or ages.

In terms of language pool, they cover about 30. While it’s not as many as the previous entries’ scope, niche languages are ticked, like Latin, Sinhalese, and Dari.

That said, speed isn’t their strong suit. A few clients complained about waiting a week or two for replies or callbacks.

They’d also be more ace with a 24-hour express option.

On the upside, AMLS’ standard turnaround isn’t dreadful at 2–3 business days.

Even better, rates match Perth’s average.

Pros

  • Open since 2004
  • Offers voice-over services
  • Reasonable prices
  • Open 24/7
  • Translates rare languages like Dari

Cons

  • No express options
  • Slow response

Service is Excellent

‘As Blind Disabled, AMT Perth are one of the only places to attend in person with an office, enabling to scan documents on site.

This service is excellent as scanning documents on assistive technology at home to email can be of a large file size, which most email servers reject as spam or viruses.

The company is paramount in ensuring disabled persons needs are not only met, they are courteous and respectful at all points of contact and interactions.

Many, many thanks.’

Very Prompt and Professional

‘My dealings with Jacasta Berry at AMLS were very prompt and professional and I’d be more than happy to work with AMLS again when the need arises.’

If chasing after replies makes your eyes twitch, give Syllaba a shot. They’re ISO-certified and said to be prompt, often picking up the phone a few seconds after you call.

With 150 language pairs, their coverage is no joke either, especially since they’re all translated by NAATI-certified professionals.

Like AMLS, this one does voice-overs, too, but Syllaba’s broader linguistic reach gives them an edge.

Business translations are their bread and butter. Clients, mostly from marketing and healthcare, say that Syllaba’s work is on point and strategic, usually thanks to their cultural and ‘plain language’ focus.

The trade-off is that they don’t offer real-time interpretation services.

Weekend closure is another hiccup to consider. Other agencies here are open for at least 6 days.

On the flipside, prices and turnaround times stay within Perth’s range. Clients even enjoy free post-delivery support and a full guarantee.

Pros

  • Open since 2017
  • Quick turnaround
  • Decent prices
  • ISO-certified
  • Does voice-overs
  • Covers 150 languages
  • Offers post-delivery support

Cons

  • Weekend closure
  • No real-time interpretation options

Quicker Than Expected

‘I would highly recommend Sylaba Translations, in particular Rissa for her professionalism, prompt communication and quicker than expected turnaround time to get a document translated from Tamil to English.

Additionally their prices are also competitive compared to other translation providers I looked into.

Will definitely be using them again to translate further documents.’

Murali, Google Review

Timely Communication

‘I needed an urgent service based on NAATI standards, Sylaba maintained a timely communication with me and were responsiveness to my requests. I would recommend Sylaba among my network.’
