You may not know that, in the UK, the translation and interpreting market is unregulated which means anyone can, in theory, call themselves a translator or interpreter, regardless of their qualifications or experience.

The public Directory is the trusted source to find a professional linguist to work with you on your project including translation, interpreting, transcreation and localisation. Members listed in the Directory have proven their skills and experience by providing evidence of qualifications and references, completing an ITI assessment, and having a minimum of three years’ experience working as a translator or interpreter. These members are known as Qualified Members (MITI) or Fellows (FITI) of ITI. You can confirm an individual is a member of ITI by using the Member check function.

For larger or more complex projects you can search the Directory for Language Service Companies (also known as agencies). All of our corporate members have completed a rigorous application process and are committed to the principles of in our Code of Professional Conduct.
