Translation

We do translations from Finnish to English and from English to Finnish in-house, while our reliable, professional freelancers translate from Finnish to Swedish as well as from Swedish to Finnish and English. We take pride in always delivering fluent and accurate translations whose style and register meet the demands set by the target audience and purpose of your text.

We translate general texts of most fields and also more technical documents. We have experience in translating texts related to e.g. customer communications, companies’ internal communications, marketing, history, culture, dentistry, and information technology.

We are aware that no one knows everything, not even us. That is why we always do the necessary background research to ensure that field-specific terms are correct and the style is appropriate in our translations. And we know that we are pretty good at this!

“Skilled, meticulous, and engaged with the client’s needs. It is easy to trust even demanding translation assignments, which the texts of The National Museum’s exhibitions and publications often are, to Ville and Katja of Kielikuvitus. The quality of work is assured, and cooperation is smooth.”

Sari HäkkinenCommunications Coordinator, The National Museum of Finland

“Working with Kielikuvitus Communications Agency was straightforward and pleasant. They were quick to grasp the kind of tone that was desired and able to produce texts that fit the image of our client. The quality of work was accurate and meticulous. Recommended!”

Anna-Kaari HakkarainenFounding Partner, Gut Studio

“We needed quick assistance with translating our publication Heritage is Ours, dealing with participation in cultural heritage. I was glad that, through good recommendations, we found Kielikuvitus for this demanding task. The quality and price were right and the service effortless and personal.”

Anna-Maija HalmeCommunications Manager, Finnish Local Heritage Federation; Secretary, Europa Nostra Finland

“We ordered translations of texts for the redevelopment of The National Museum’s permanent exhibition. The vocabulary and terminology of the history field are often demanding and require the translator to do constant background research. The translators at Kielikuvitus did not spare their time to be able to provide the best result, yet were at the same time able to work fast and in a flexible fashion, in a situation where the printers were already waiting for the exhibition texts.”

Hanna ForssellHead of Public Programmes, The National Museum of Finland

“Kielikuvitus did thorough work and provided us with a very good translation on tight schedule.”

Editing and Proofreading

We will write the text you need or edit your existing text according to your needs. We will always take into account the purpose and target audience of the text to ensure that your message gets across to your audience as effectively as possible.

Fluent language is equally important in marketing texts, web page content, and scholarly articles. Polished writing delivers a credible message to the readers, and they are more likely to understand it correctly.

We edit and proofread various types of texts, including academic papers and non-fiction books. We write press releases, articles, and other text content. In addition, we review translations and convert texts into plain language. We are also familiar with the academic writing practises and referencing techniques in the humanities and social sciences, so that your academic article is in safe hands with us.

All of our editing and proofreading services are available in English and Finnish.

“A good publishing editor makes the writing process faster and the end result better. A bad publishing editor makes both feel like purgatory. Katja’s accurate ear for language and her ability to understand the author’s intention has helped me write better. She is also a capable layout designer. A strong recommendation: stay out of purgatory, put your trust in Kielikuvitus.”

Websites and Graphic Design

Do you need a website? Kielikuvitus can deliver to you both the visual design and technical implementation as well as the text content in English and in Finnish. We also offer graphic design and desktop publishing services.

We make websites, for instance, for small enterprises and NGOs. If desired, we can take care of the entire project from reserving the URL to designing and publishing the website. It is possible for you to update the finished website yourself, if you wish. Our website designs are always responsive, i.e., they adapt to the size of the browser screen. Our strength lies in our skill to understand the client’s wishes and discuss the possible ways of realising them, as well as our broad knowledge of communications.

We also offer graphic design and desktop publishing services. We have designed, for example, book and record covers and book layouts. If you need a clean and fresh look for your presentation, we’ll be happy to help you with that as well.

Thanks to our wide skill set, you can trust us with the various stages of your publishing process: for example, we can translate text directly in your existing Adobe InDesign document, or edit your text and then deliver files that are ready to publish online or in print.

The work has also included creating ideas for the website content, and Kielikuvitus has been great at that, too. I am very happy with the cooperation, regarding both the process and the end result.”
