What Do You Need Translated?
Pick your project and see how we handle it.
Packaging is where regulation and design meet. Directions for use and cautions keep consumers safe, so they have to be right in every language. Translated text can also run long. German, for example, can be around 30% longer than English, and it still has to fit the pack.
Our Solution
Specialist compliance teams check your POS, DFU and PIL for accuracy. Ingredient lists are translated with care for regulation, design and spacing limits. Style sheets and translation memory keep the wording the same across your range.
A literal translation can be correct and still fall flat. Campaign lines, product names and claims have to land with each market and keep your creative positioning.
Our Solution
Transcreation and localisation adapt your marketing language so your brand is preserved, not just your words. Not sure whether you need translation, transcreation or localisation? Tell us what you are launching and we will recommend the right one.
Sometimes it is one product name or one short DFU, and the retailer deadline is tomorrow.
Our Solution
Small jobs are not a problem. We have packages for short pieces of text, and off-the-shelf services you can buy online for quick access to the linguists you need.

Common Questions
What are cosmetics translation services?
Cosmetics translation services cover the translation of content for beauty and cosmetics brands, including packaging and labels, ingredient lists, marketing campaigns, websites and training material. Our specialist beauty linguists use style sheets and translation memory to keep your brand consistent and your wording accurate in every market.
Will my branding be preserved?
Yes. We use style sheets and translation memory technology to keep your brand consistent across languages and cultures. If you do not have a style sheet, creating one is usually our first step.
Can you translate my packaging and labelling?
Yes. Dedicated style sheets and translation memory technology help us translate packaging and labelling accurately. We work with some of the world's largest beauty brands, so we can also guide you through the regulations around cosmetics, beauty and skincare translation.
Can you translate my ingredient lists?
With the use of dedicated style sheets and advanced translation memory technology, we can effectively and accurately translate packaging and labelling. More so, the fact that we work with some of the world’s largest beauty brands means we can offer guidance and advice to navigate some of the regulations around cosmetics, beauty and skincare translations.
Can you translate my cosmetics website?
Yes. We provide website translation and localisation by beauty subject matter experts, so your website matches your packaging in every market.
How do I know my translation will be compliant?
Dedicated project managers know the regulatory environment, and sector specialist linguists understand the terminology, even in tightly regulated industries.
How long does translation take?
It depends on the length of the material, the format it arrives in and how rare the target language is. In many cases we can deliver the same day if you need it.
I only have a few words to translate. Can you help?
Yes. Product names and short DFUs often come up when a deadline or retailer requirement is close. We have packages for short pieces of text.
Why are some languages more expensive?
Some languages are more complex and take translators longer. For others, qualified linguists are harder to find, so more work goes into sourcing someone who knows both the language and your industry.
Do you know cosmetics regulations?
Yes. We partner with compliance experts and microbiological testing facilities to keep up with changing global regulations.
Can I speak to someone about complex requirements?
Yes. Our sector-specialist project managers will talk through your requirements and guide you through the process. Speak to our team to get started.
