First Edition is based in the heart of Cambridge and has supplied language and editorial services for over 35 years, into over 50 of the world's languages.

We specialise in the following areas: Medicine & pharmaceutics; Life sciences; Engineering; Electronics; Automotive; Legal; Environment; IT & telecommunications; and Education. We excel in multilingual project coordination and regularly work on projects for websites, clinical trials, PIL's, IFU's, company brochures & other marketing literature, business cards and software programmes. Our other area of expertise lies in non-fiction book translations for leading publishers in and outside the UK, translating texts in the areas of travel, architecture, art & art history, museum guides, religion, gardening, wines & spirits and cookery.

We work exclusively with highly specialised translators who only translate into their mother tongue. First Edition has a strong team of project managers who are qualified linguists and monitor the progress of assignments at all stages. Each project manager aims to understand the client's business and will select the translator, editor, typesetter or interpreter best suited to each assignment. Whenever possible, they will use the same translators for each individual client's work, ensuring consistency and accuracy of the client's corporate identity whist maintaining project confidentiality throughout.
